It has been almost a year, since the New Englian government has announced that it would sell the Rossfadda Oil Field, owned by the local national oil company, Petroenglia, for a term contract, prompting double joint bids for the contracts, with companies across the world coming to fight for the ownership of the field, turning the simple process into a full-on proxy war. And now, Bianjie joins the war alongside our allies in New Verham, to reassert the Dovanian position, and present the local alternative for the New Englian contractors.

The Bianijan Oil and Gas Company (BOGC), colloquially known as the Besekiga, in a joint bid, together with the New Verhamese partially state-owned Western Oil Company (BGTK), are moving towards winning the contract "for Dovani" and "against exploitation". The primary position the joint Bianjie–NV ticket takes in their reasoning for the move, is that New Englia is a part of the wider Dovanian continent, and thus it must be Dovani and Dovani only, that controls over its resources. "We want to make it very and very clear, it could've been a small irrelevant contract fight between some local or regional companies, and that would be it, but when foreign nations getting involved, foreign heads of state and officials, to intervene, disrupt, or exploit, it turns into a complete mess, that must be stopped", said the CEO of the Besekiga, Muke Atamu. While oil plays a big interest in the two companies' joint bid, especially further experience of drilling, refining and others proceses, the "Dovanian bid" wants to "keep it in Dovani, for Dovanians".

BOGC–BGTK proposal does not involve any suprising actions or moves, other than general investment into the field, fair regionalised market prices due to the general proximity of countries to New Englia, in comparison to some bids coming from Seleya, Temania or Keris, general employemnt and labour protection for the field workers. However, as a part of the larger "Dovanian bid", Besekiga CEO Atamu says that in coordination with both the Bianjian and the New Verhamese government, as well as the largest officials representing the Dovanian Security Organisation (DSO) and the Dovanian Economic Assistance Bloc (DEAB), a potential deal could involve cooperation between the two pan-Dovanian organisations with the New Englian state, be it military or economic, respectively, as well as financial investments through the RASA mechanism. "It must be said that these moves are being done out of necessity, and us accepting the hard reality that is the world of businesses and competition. Politicising such a bid is not something we wish do, but we have, if truly want to show our seriousness about protecting the Dovanian businesses and resources from the foreign interventions", said Atamu.

The bid drew criticism from the opposition and members of the ruling parties, however, also found out its supporters on the right-wing benches, who support the actions of the state-owned oil company, like National Conservative Union leader, Desikū Gurhas, who said that while he personally opposes the "pan-Dovanian absurdity", allowing foreigners to take over such crucial resources, such as oil, is unacceptable, especially consdering the whole process that has been ongoing for almost a year now.
