Question: BRUSSELS/BERLIN (Reuters) - On the eve of his trip to Europe  Rex Tillerson gave a speech last week that European allies had waited months to hear: an âironcladâ promise of U.S. support to its oldest allies.

The question is whether European officials believe him  given tensions during his April visit to Europe  when Reuters reported  Tillerson  initially planned to skip a NATO meeting in Brussels and then only attended under pressure from allies.
âIf there were expectations that  Tillerson  might evolve into a counterweight to Trump  someone who could pass on messages from partners and exert moderating influence over American foreign policy â those expectations have been disappointed â said Niels Annen  foreign policy spokesman for Germanyâs Social Democrats in parliament.
The French have gone around  Tillerson  to develop contacts with U.S. Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis  White House National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster and White House Chief of Staff John Kelly  while the EUâs top diplomat Federica Mogherini has gone directly to Vice President Mike Pence.
One European diplomat said  Tillerson  was in a difficult position from the outset because the Trump administration was hostile to Iran and brought in a team of generals who took a hard line  âso it never left  Tillerson  much room.â

Answer: U.S. allies fret as 'guillotine' hangs over Tillerson


Question: Just over a week ago  on the evening of Dec. 7  Lloyd C. Blankfein hosted a reunion of one of the most elite clubs in American finance: former partners of Goldman Sachs  the Wall Street giant he has led  with remarkable and controversial success  since 2006.
 The gathering  held at the venerable New York Athletic Club  both celebrated Goldman's past and looked toward its future. What  Blankfein was asked  did he want his legacy to be?
 Blankfein replied that like his predecessors  he hoped to position Goldman Sachs to capitalize on whatever opportunities might arise during his tenure. As bland as that might sound  few on or off Wall Street have seized opportunities in these troubled economic times as skillfully as Blankfein.
 But as President Barack Obama prods the financial industry to do more to help ordinary Americans -- he chided "fat cat bankers" on Sunday for increasing their pay -- some current and former Goldman executives say Blankfein has built a money machine that  while it still values its customers  culture and reputation  puts profits above all.
 Interviews with nearly 20 current and former Goldman partners paint a portrait of a bank driven by hard-charging traders like Blankfein who wager vast sums in world markets in hopes of quick profits. Discreet bankers who give advice to corporate clients and help them raise capital -- once a major source of earnings for Goldman -- have been eclipsed  these people said.
 Blankfein has surrounded himself with a tight circle of executives drawn from Goldman's trading operation. Many of these executives  like Blankfein  cut their teeth in the commodities division  J. Aron
 After first guiding Goldman through the near-collapse of the nation's financial system and then deftly extricating his bank from a federal bailout  Blankfein is now presiding over one of the richest periods in the bank's 140-year history. Blankfein has accelerated a decade-long decline of Goldman's old partnership ethos  which was built around the principle that its bankers and traders can do well -- indeed  very well -- while putting their customers first  former partners said.
 Some Goldman alumni worry that Blankfein is jeopardizing the culture of success that defined the bank for much of its modern history. They wonder if Goldman will become  as one former partner put it  "just like every other bank on Wall Street" -- that is  focused on short-term profits rather than long-term gains.
 Publicly  Blankfein espouses the Goldman Sachs way. But privately  current and former partners say that he has fundamentally changed the way Goldman views its customers and the broader marketplace. The changes began when Goldman went public in the late 1990s  but have accelerated under Blankfein  they say.
 Bowing to pressure from shareholders and the public to rein in runaway pay on Wall Street  Goldman announced last week that its top executives  including Blankfein  would forgo cash bonuses this year. Instead  the executives will be paid in the form of special stock -- an arrangement that  while eliminating big paydays this year  nonetheless may turn out to be enormously lucrative if Goldman's share price rises in the future.
 Today  the traders -- Blankfein's camp -- are firmly in power. While Goldman employs nearly 31 000 people  in business ranging from money management to traditional investment banking  the bank makes the bulk of its money from trading. Van Praag said 50 percent of Goldman's revenue came from fees that it charged for services like investment banking. The other half is generated by Goldman using its capital for itself and its clients. While Blankfein's traders are minting money  his investment bankers are being pressed to keep a closer eye on the bottom line. Bankers who once spent years cultivating corporate clients  in hopes of one day landing lucrative work like advising on a big merger  are now being urged to squeeze more revenue from their customers.

Question: Petroteq will be one of the leading innovators in the oil industry  concerning the usage of blockchain.
Smaller players with big ambitions like  Canada's Petroteq  are preparing to revolutionize the day to day operations of potentially every oil operation on the planet.  Petroteq  could utilize new technologies to tap massive new reserves of energy  such as the Utah oil sands  while radically reducing environmental risk.
Petroteq and the Blockchain
 Petroteq  a company that made waves in the sector with its revolutionary patented oil sands tech   has set out on a mission to completely overhaul the industry's inefficient and error prone supply chain management protocols.
 Petroteq  was recently cited by Geoffrey Cann  a Director at Deloitte specializing in the oil and gas industry  as a contender for blockchain technologies in the energy arena.
This is the path on which Petroteq has embarked. And with the help of blockchain technology  the company is positioning itself as a leader in this race.
Petrobloq  Petroteq's very own blockchain consortium  is looking to reshape the industry. From drilling  to a finished petroleum-based product and everywhere in between  Petrobloq aims to track  monitor  and account for every drop of petroleum on a transparent  immutable  and secure blockchain.
Utilizing Petroteq's technology  Mexico's national oil company will become one of the world's largest non-publicly traded companies to introduce a blockchain-based supply chain management platform. An endeavor which is set to bring PEMEX's processes from production to sale to an entirely new level  ushering in a new era of efficiency and profitability.
The dramatic improvements planned for U.S. infrastructure will incorporate innovations from companies like Petroteq.
And  Petroteq  has technology to unlock the full potential of the Utah fields and their 32 billion barrels of oil.
And unlike the dirty  expensive tar sands of  Canada  Petroteq  will be able to exploit the Utah oil sands in an environmentally-friendly  cost-effective way through their proprietary technology.
With its mastery of blockchain  Petroteq will be at the head of the pack. But its innovative drive forward is sure to be matched by other companies in the oil and gas sector.
From oil majors like BP and Shell  to smaller innovators like Petroteq  massive potential is set to be unlocked in the oil and gas industry through the innovative use of new technology.

Answer:
Blockchain is getting a hold of big oil
