The US department of energy has sold the 'historic' Teapot Dome oilfield (a.k.a. the Naval Petroleum Reserve Number 3) to Alleghany Capital unit Stranded Oil Resources Corp. The $45 million proceeds from the sale will end up in the US Treasury's coffers. Teapot Dome was made famous in the 1920s as the subject of a political bribery scandal.
