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.
