Maar ziehier wat een Joodse vriendin mij vandaag vanuit Israel zond. Waar zitten nu al die over-het-paard-getilde-journalisten ? Tensions Boil as Israeli Oil Riches Grow Summer 2012 - Ed De Shields Israel's once hidden oil riches are now certain to be so large its treasures could make it the richest oil country in the world. And, its neighbors are not only noticing, they're boiling mad. It was just forty years ago when Golda Meir, the former prime minister of Israel, once famously quipped "Why did Moses lead us to the a place in the Middle East without oil?" Well Prime Minister, Moses turned out to have a pretty good eye for what a promised land might look like. Since oil was first discovered in the Middle East, Israel has been cut off from the world's exploration resources because of its Arab neighbors. No major oil company would dare explore there in fear of an Arab backlash. Overtime technologies in oil exploration have improved and international experts have noticed Israel's potential. In the past, oil-exploration adventurers would visit Israel, some of them reminiscent of Indiana Jones, arguing en-thusiastically that there had to be legendary oil reserves in the promised land. The adventurers picked their drilling sites according to concealed hints in the Tanach, especially Yehezkel, but the drillings ended in disappoint-ment. The legend of oil riches in Israel turned into a cruel joke. They simply didn't know what they were looking for and didn't have the proper technology to find it. But, in the last three years Israel has discovered one mega-discovery after another. First, it discovered 1.5 billion barrels of oil onshore at Rosh Ha'Ayin, located about 10 miles inland from the Tel Aviv coastline. It was a small but important find that sparked a flurry of exploration activity. Then, a big one followed by another - both are noteworthy, and rare, and are the largest finds anywhere in the last decade. US Geological Survey (USGS) estimates, the entire Leviathan Basin holds 1.7 billion barrels of recoverable oil and 700 billion cubic meters of recoverable gas.Expert surveys for the Tamar field conducted by the U.S. petroleum consultants Netherland, Sewell & Associates indicate that the field contains proven reserves of 217 billion cubic meters of gas. And then another find. It turns out that Israel has the second-biggest oil shale deposits in the world, outside the US : "We estimate that there is the equivalent of 250 billion barrels of oilhere. To put that in context, there are proven reserves of 260 billion barrels of oil in Saudi Arabia, says Dr. Harold Vinegar, the former chief scientist of Royal Dutch Shell."Let's do the math. That's 250 billion in shale oil, 3.2 billion inconventional oil in estimated reserves, or enough oil to match that of Saudi-Arabia. Plus, that's 50 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, giving it about 10% of the entire world's gas reserves - all while Israel's exploration activities are just beginning. I'd say most rational people would say this is nothing short of a miracle. But one man's miracle is not a miracle to another. Economic miracles tend to upset a lot of sovereigns eager to get their share - whether they can legitimately claim it or not. The backlash has begun and the geopolitical crisis now playing out will be worthy of the most serious prophetic predictions. Israel, whose exploration is the most advanced, is making plenty of new discoveries. (continued) |

Overigens zat de Israëlische aardolie de laatste keer dat ik er wat over las in hun territoriale wateren, en was het al hommeles met Turkije, geloof ik. Tenzij ik met Cyprus verwar. Het blijft echter het verstandigste om in te zetten op een combinatie van kern- en windenergie.

http://www.oilforimmigration.org/facts/?page_id=49 Het is een ware zegen voor Europa mocht Israël een oliestaat worden. Ik hoop dat Israël dan kan druk uitoefenen om een eind te maken aan de toevloed van bebaarde nachtjapondragers en hun kouwelijk ingepakte vrouwen.
