Theres no oil in Afghanistan but it holds the key to oil riches of Central Asia! Total oil reserves of the Caspian Sea region, estimated at above 200 BBL (billion barrels), exceeds that of Western Europe and/or the United States (110 BBL) and puts it in second place after the Middle East (700 BBL). Total production, currently at 1 million barrels/day, could reach 3.4 million b/d by the year 2010, assuming that hydrocarbons can be transported to world markets. |
Afghanistan holds the key.
"..the US - and several countries in the region - are also keen to
commercially exploit the vast oil and gas reserves in
Central Asia, and believe that Afghanistan holds the key.
Several countries are exploring the idea of building a
pipeline from Central Asia across Afghanistan to
Pakistan and beyond - something that would be impossible without a
stable Afghanistan. " -
BBC 11th September 2001
Other countries stirred up fighting in Afghanistan for their
interests.
"Iran has stirred up the fighting in order to make sure an
international oil pipeline went through its territory and not
through Afghanistan. " -
BBC 20th December 1999
Who is to control the flow of oil?
"The Americans are unhappy about the prospect of a radical Muslim
state controlling a proposed ?1.2 billion gas pipeline through
Afghanistan from Turkmenistan. "
Telegraph 16th August 1998
£1.2 billion pipeline through Afghanistan.
"CentGas, the consortium behind the ?1.2 billion pipeline, which
would run from Turkmenistan, through Afghanistan and into Pakistan,
is ready to proceed. Its main partners are the American oil firm
Unocal and Delta Oil of Saudi Arabia, plus Hyundai of South Korea,
two Japanese companies, a Pakistani conglomerate and the Turkmen
government. "
Telegraph 13th August 1998
Afghanistan holds the key to oil riches of Central
Asia.
"Behind the tribal clashes that have scarred
Afghanistan lies one of the great prizes of the 21st century, the
fabulous energy reserves of Central Asia. Largely unexplored, and
almost completely unexploited, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and
Uzbekistan, all formerly components of the Soviet Union, but now
independent, are known to possess vast oil and gas reserves. As
supplies from the Gulf begin to peter out next century, these will
become highly significant. "
Telegraph 11th October 1996

The race to gain control of the Caspian Sea Oil - Shhh don't tell anyone! The United States wants to see as many different pipeline routes as possible to prevent any one country from developing a stranglehold over the flow of oil from the region. Russia, however, wants to ensure that most of the Caspian oil will go via its territories. |
