Cousin of mine who works in the oil industry as an engineer, particularly in drilling, told me about a big conference he attended several years ago where they discussed Somalia's off-shore potential. They actually, according to him, conducted serious surveys in this case and made a whole presentation for him and all the other engineers and such present. I can't remember the numbers but I recall him telling me just those off-shore reserves across the Somali Peninsula would surpass the annual outputs of places like Iraq or Kurdistan; not sure which.

Either way, he made it very clear there was a lot of oil to be had and money to be made. Big companies were at this conference as well. BP, Exxon and so forth but, sadly, the main folks mediating everything like on the Somali side turned out to be trying to f*ck around and embezzle or some shit and everything got halted and, well, Somalia is just unsafe for big business and was more so back then. Real shame.

When our largest blocks (Bloc B & E) come online, I hope that Juba constructs an alternative pipeline through Kenya

No, bro, please keep it within the Aethiopid race and away from those minorly Aethiopid admixed Bantus. You guys partially sired us so I demand you pay child support in shidaal money to our ina adeero in Khartoum.

The day Somalia gets ready to dig for oil is the day the rest of the world is running on green energy.. This is my prediction :manny:

Off shore is extremely risky for for the environment and expensive , Somalias coastline is one of the most bustling with life due to the warm waters, a disruption to the ecosystem there would be tragic

it’s usually the last resort when nations don’t have sufficient oil on land or if they’re trying to swindle a politically unstable region they’re afraid to work boots on the ground, like Angola and Namibia

Don't worry, Juba will most likely keep that arrangement with the North.


I'm considered an extremist by virtually every South Sudani I've ever spoken to regarding what the nature of our relationship with the North should be...

When I said that Juba Arabic is an abomination that should be phased out... South Sudanis looked at me like

When I said that the people of Abyei were my least favourite Dinka section due to the fact that they allow their sons and daughters to marry Arab Misseriya... I was looked at as though I was black Hitler or something...

To be fair, it didn't help when I said that a man that allowed such a thing should have his lands and livestock confiscated and be excommunicated.

I'm acutely aware that this makes me look bad, but I'm being honest

Offshore is being discussed first because the security threat in Somalia obstructs any foreign company exploring our lands. As long as security and no peace is a problem, onshore oil drilling is a pipe dream
