Inestopedia explains ‘Petrodollars’•Petrodollars refers to the money that Middle
Eastern countries and members of OPEC receive as revenue from Western nations and then put back into those same nations’ banks.
•For example if Libya were to receive money from the U.S. for oil and then put the money into a U.S. bank, that deposited money is referred to as petrodolalrs.
Petrodollar•The term, petrodollar, should not be
confused with petrocurrency which refers to the actual national currency of each petroleum exporting country.

Historical review of the term“petrodollar”
OPEC• Formed at a meeting held
on September 14, 1960 in Baghdad, Iraq, by five Founder Members: Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela.
• Algeria,Angola,Ecuador ,Iran ,Iraq ,Kuwait ,Libya ,Nigeria,Qatar, Saudi Arabia ,United Arab Emirates,Venezuela
• OPEC is the biggest and the most successful cartel in the world.
• Few years later, French demanded redemption of its paper-dollar holdings in gold. But the USA rejected as it actually didn't have enough gold for the dollars it had already printed and spent all over the world, thus committing an act of bankruptcy.
Reserves
Saudi oil reserves are the largest in the world, estimated to be around 264 billion barrels, 25% of world oil reserves.
Venezuela is second with total oil reserves at 172 billion barrels at the end of 2009
Iran’s total oil reserves are estimated of 138 billion barrels and production amounts to 2.4 million barrels per day.
History • Nixon Shock made USD a
fiat currency posed a great threat to the US as its supremacy as a reserve currency
• In 1971,US made a secret deal with the Saud’s to keep selling the oil in US dollars and invest a certain percent in T- bills. In return, the Americans provided the Saudis with military support and special voting rights in the IMF
So the USA went to the Saudis and cut a deal – OPEC denominate all sales of oil in US dollars.
Since the agreements of 1971 and 1973[1], OPEC oil is exclusively sold in US dollars.
• The Americans laid out their terms. They were simple, and two-fold.
• The Saudis must agree to price all of their oil sales in U.S. dollars only. (In other words, the Saudis were to refuse all other currencies, except the U.S. dollar, as payment for their oil exports.)
• The Saudis would be open to investing their surplus oil proceeds in U.S. debt securities.
Why petro against dollar for US?
•The petrodollar system has proven beneficial to the U.S. economy.
• It increases global demand for U.S. dollars
• It gives the United States global demand for U.S. debt securities
•The ability to buy oil with a currency it can print at will.
Result of Petrodollar warfare: Ditching the Dollar for Gold
•Petrodollar warfare•Consistent demand for the US Dollar•Higher budget & sustainability for US•Stronger Dollar (US)•Price of petrol is more stable
Concept of Foreign aid due to Petrodollar introduction
• Arab oil-exporting countries also used their surpluses to fund foreign aid programs, with Arab nations being one of the largest donors of foreign aid since 1973.
• . The IMF also introduced a new lending facility during this period called the Oil Facility
Petrodollar warfare• The phrase petrodollar warfare refers to a hypothesis that
one of the driving forces of United States foreign policy over recent decades[when?] has been the status of the United States dollar as the world's dominant reserve currency and as the currency in which oil is priced.
• . The term was coined by William R. Clark, who has written a book with the same title.
• The phrase oil currency wars is sometimes used with the same meaning.
Dubai as an example of petrol’s worth
So come on. What are you waiting for ? You can’t let
all the workers run out of a job.
Just keep on filling
up your petrol tanks.
Present
Iraq• In 2002 Saddam Hussein
decided to sell oil against euro instead of dollar.
• Americans waged a war against Iraq to revert sales of oil back to dollar.
Libya• Wanted to replace the
petrodollar against petro gold system.
• Planning to introduce the gold dinar.
• The gold dinar would have given middle eastern and African countries to turn around to the US dollar.
Iran• Iran and Russia
announced they would trade using their own domestic currencies as opposed to the U.S. dollar.
• India’s choice to pay for Iranian oil with gold will push gold even higher while keeping the value of the dollar on a steady decline.
• Iran’s total oil reserves are estimated of 138 billion barrels and production amounts to 2.4 million barrels per day.
Iran & Venezuela joins hands together
Venezuela
Iranian Oil Bourse
“This notion that the United States is getting ready to attack Iran is simply ridiculous ...Having said that, all options are on the table.”
– President George W. Bush, February 2005
Military operations against Iran relate to the macroeconomics of ‘petrodollar recycling’ and the unpublicized but real challenge to U.S. dollar supremacy from the euro as an alternative oil transaction currency.
India• India signed an agreement
with Iran to buy oil against gold instead of US dollar.
• Following the foot steps of India china also looks forward to buy oil against gold which would decrease the value of US dollar and increase the value of gold.
Russia
•Russia's gold backed currency challenged the dollar
•Post cold war era.
