BUSH – A LEGACY OF PERPETUAL WAR [Conquering the World's Oil ]
Posted Dec. 21, 2008 A US MILITARY TAKEOVER of the world’s oil reserves is now in full swing. At the outset of George W Bush’s presidency in 2001, top foreign policy priority was not to prevent terrorism, but rather, it was to increase the oil flow from sources abroad and gain control over undeveloped Middle East oil reserves.

30 Trillion Cubic Feet of Gas Lying Trapped in Tight Reservoirs of Pakistan
Thursday, 11 December 2008 15:49 The natural gas in excess of 30 Trillion Cubic Feet may be lying trapped in the Tight Reservoirs of Pakistan. There is a need to further develop local and foreign exploration and production companies and service sector to further strengthen the oil and gas producing capacity of the country, said a senior official sources in the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources. According to Pakistan Petroleum Exploration and Production Companies Association (PPEPCA) Technical Expert Committee the tight reservoirs are of poor quality and therefore require additional effort and expensive technologies to recover gas from them. As the cost is very high, it becomes economically prohibitive for the oil companies to produce gas from these reservoirs. Modern technologies and improvements in fiscal terms will make recovery of gas from some of the tight reservoirs economical and help meet, to some extent, Pakistan’s deficient energy needs.. » read more
