Makes sense if you've got gas and oil sitting there and you don't want to sell it on the open market and tank the premium you're getting why not use it to mine Bitcoin instead? 

Relatively speaking places like Oman, Beruit, Kuwait and Qatar and UAE have been fairly chill to put up a business there, and with all that sun you could leverage their solar too

I dont think so either. 
Whats the point of putting millions there if they just take it?
