I did think of that. The problem wouldn't be oil supply in general, but in quantity. Dividing the country into 3 logical parts would mean everyone gets some oil, but some would get more than most (Kurdistan would do worse, but they'd consider their freedom to be more important) The Shiites in the south I think would have more oil than the Sunnis...
The oil would be controlled and sold through anyway OPEC, so shouldn't be a problem really.
