Oil and gas reserves of Pakistan going to India due to lack of exploration

[Ritual]

Whats to stop them from pulling an iraq and just drilling into our side? Any treaties or agreements banning it now?

Exactly, an oil or gas field is not fixed obviously like a coal source, so if the field extends over the border, then if one side is drilling then it is inevitable that will deplete the resource. I hope an expert can shed more light on this, but the fact that they are drilling an oil field just 10km from the border should awaken our own sleeping oil firms.

@niaz Sb, would be grateful if you can share your comments on this Sir? Is it just media hype or is it a real threat that oil resources, if not extracted, can be sucked up from across the border? We heard same stories about Balochistan earlier.

thanks.

P.S. Mods, can you please delete the other thread I created?

If there is one reservoir that stretches across two borders or is very close to the border; one would probably need to employ tangential drilling; it could be possible but if the reservoir is well within your country/license area, no third party can access to it.

The thing to remember that you do not 'SUCK' oil or gas. Hydrocarbons flow by itself. One can aid the flow/extraction by reinjecting the gases which simply increase the pressure on the reservoir resulting in improved flow rate.

I'm not just talking about this specific event - which article states Pak Govt. neglected to do research on - but in general anything we've done dragged *** on.

the writer has no clue how these things work. it is not necessary that all news are correct
