Selling it to everyone. You think China gives a damn about the assclown's sanctions?
This, and they are paying in gold. Only the grossly ignorant believe that all banks would follow the "sanctions" imposed by our feckless leader.
A great deal of that oil does move by tanker. That could be stopped pretty damned quick by sinking a tanker or two at the terminal. Of course, then you have storage problems, which would lead to well shut downs, etc., which the oil companies don't want the expense and hassle of restarting the system, ad nauseum.

That brings up some more questions ... and no offense.
If, and I say if, ISIS is in control of pumping stations and refineries who is operating them?
What control do the oil companies still have?
Has ISIS turned the employees into slave labor?
Again, none of this makes sense. I can't imagine that anyone would have remained at the facilities if they knew ISIS was approaching. I would have abandoned ship, got in a vehicle, and hauled azz to get as far away as I could.
