Huge Oil Deposits Located Near Coast

An estimated four to six million barrels of deposits of oil are located in the 240000 kilometres of Pakistan's sea coast. Disclosing this Dr. Abdul Farah, Director General National Institute of Oceanography (NIO). Karachi told a radio news conference, that in addition to oil, mineral deposits could also be found in the sea coast of the country. However, exploration for oil and mineral deposits in the North Arabian Sea had so far been done by the foreign companies. He said, in order to make our exploration for oil and mineral deposits from the sea a research ship was needed.

He said that a joint research programme of Pakistan and United States costing three million dollars spread over five years had been approved recently under which deep see exploration from 500 metres to 3000 metres would be undertaken to see properties and the behaviour of monsoon with changes in the sea. He also spoke of the Antarctica Scientific Expedition Mission undertaken by Pakistani scientists and said. "we are the first Muslim country to have hoisted our flag in Antarctica. Progress of the expedition since the members of the team reached Antarctica on January 14 has so far been satisfactory".

To a question Dr. Farah said, Pakistan was the first country to carry out research and establish its station at the same time in Antarctica. He said, members of Pakistani expedition comprising scientists from NIO, Geological Survey of Pakistan, Meteorological Department, Hussain Ebrahim Jamal Institute of Karachi University, Pakistan Army and Navy will stay in Antarctica for one month to carry out research work.

4 to six million barrels?

and we have a daily consumption of 370,000 barrels ~ ????

yeah enough for 10-15 days
 
no actually its bigger than this,this is a very important deposit,i talked to a few peoplr and they said that the navy is also being targeted so it can be weaken and wont be able to defnd this mineral wealth
 
Even 20 million barrels are not worth the effort of setting up drilling and extraction base in the sea.
 
well market and demand factor is also important,ofcourse this oil field cant serve the needs of whole Pakistan but since being locatef near Karachi which is the Indutrial base of the country,plus being a commercial hub with high population density and alot of transport and the biggest and busiest airport of Pakistan(fuel for airplanes) and 2 airbase as well, the distribution of oil in this city will be convenient and cost effective,6 million barrels should be enough
What do you guys think

Seems Dr. Abdul Farah is smoking "Afghanistan's Finest".

The Earth at the Equator is about 40,000 Kilometres.

I believe that Pakistan's Sea Coast is about 1,000 Kilometres.

is their any desi tareeqa to extract them

i consume around 0.5 litre daily on my bike

I saw that show. Mubashar Luqman stated that sea level at Karachi is receding and therefore these oil reserves are coming under Pakistan's territory :) and India does not want that and therefore the next war will be for maritime interests. Is he serious???????
 
the thread is basically what they are telling you in the video,hope you have seen it,the first post is i think old information

In between bomb blast they need something to run the show(pointing towards media person not to individual Pakistani) ... let them do their business ..
Papi pet ka sawal hai
 
I have heard this for the first time that Karachi has oil reserves in the sea. I wouldn't believe it unless I get to know about it from other resources as well. Mubashir Luqman is okay but not best of brains to base your believe at.

I think some experts are also saying that this is why the navy is being targeted so it dosent remain an effective fighting force,dont know if that is true
