Matt Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Glad a Canadian company has secured the rights. China pretty much owns all of Africa these days so this is fortunate for western nations. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted May 4, 2021 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) SA has vastly more oil reserves than they are letting on. Some estimates are over a trillion barrels. Reality is there is reason for them to hide the truth about known reserves both high and low.

The Russians had several super deep wells that stop producing. They The walls and put pressure gauges on them. After many years the well started showing pressure again this would only happen if oil was being produced underneath them it wouldn’t happen if oil simply shifted into a void. Oil can only be expensive if people think it’s scarce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, I am only vaguely familiar with the process you reference, meaning I know of it's existence but not so much it's workings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are but because the global alarmists aren't educated/smart enough to know these exist, they all cry afoul that man is destroying the earth with oil extraction. It's ironic because if they actually knew a thing or two, they'd realize they are actually helping the planet/oceans/water ways by utilizing it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum_seep Edited May 5, 2021 by irv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
