Times of Israel
And why take note of this get-together?
Back in 2015 we posted "Oil: Possible Major Discovery In Israel":
And who has the license to develop the field?Well this is interesting.If the field is actually under the Golan Heights the ownership is going to be debatable.
Israel took the Golan from Syria in 1967 when Israel was attacked by Syria, Egypt, Jordan, Iraq and Lebanon, who were supported by
Algeria
Kuwait
Libya
Morocco
Pakistan
The PLO
Saudi Arabia
Sudan
and
Tunisia
So Syria, now supported by Russia, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon and China may claim the goo.
Which is the point Russia's mouthpiece RT makes in the second sentence.
From RT:
Huge oil discovery in Golan Heights - Israeli media
A big oil deposit has been found in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, with enough reserves to last Israel for decades, according to the country's media.The Israeli presence in the Golan Heights is in dispute. The region is internationally recognized Syrian territory that has been occupied by Israel since the 1967 Six-Day War between Israel and several Arab states. UN Resolution 242 (1967) demands the withdrawal of Israeli armed forces from the territories occupied in the conflict. Israel disagrees with the wording of the resolution, saying the territories are disputable.
Reportedly, the potential production may reach billions of barrels, while Israel consumes 270,000 barrels per day. Israel currently imports up to three quarters of its oil from the semi-autonomous Kurdish region in Iraq, the Financial Times reported in August....
..."We are talking about a strata which is 350 meters thick and what is important is the thickness and the porosity. On average in the world strata are 20-30 meters thick, so this is ten times as large as that, so we are talking about significant quantities. The important thing is to know the oil is in the rock and that's what we now know," Israel business website Globes quotes Yuval Bartov, chief geologist of Afek Oil and Gas as saying. Afek is a subsidiary of the America’s Genie Energy....And who is on Genie Energy's Advisory Board?
