IS THERE OIL IN SOMALIA? Eng. Abdulkadir Abiikar Hussein, MSc.; FGS (Engineering Geologist) http://www.hiiraan.com/May/oil_in_somalia.htm "Since 1986 Conoco, along with Amoco, Chevron, Phillips and briefly Shell, all sought and obtained exploration licences for Somalia. Soon Somalia was carved up into concessional blocks with Conoco, Amoco and Chevron winning the right to explore and exploit the most promising areas. According to documents obtained by the Times, two-thirds of Somalia was allocated to the American oil giants before President Barre was overthrown and the country plunged into a civil war. Even some political analysts attribute the American involvement in Somalia was due to oil because the then President of the US was bowing to the US oil corporate stakes in exploiting Somalia. However, the Administration of President Bush and the State Department insisted that the decision to send US troops to Somalia was only to safeguard aid shipments and restore peace, and was therefore, strictly humanitarian." "Thomas O'Connor, the chief petroleum engineer for the World Bank, who headed an in-depth three-year study of oil prospects in the Gulf of Aden, off Somalia's northern coast, said, "It's there. There is no doubt there is oil there. You don't know until you study a lot further just how much is there and it has commercial potential. It's got high potential ……once the Somalis get their act together." Thomas O'Connor, a professional geologist, based his conclusion on the findings of some of the world's top petroleum geologists." __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
