@Bohol I don't think SL oil is possible under SL govt maybe under Somalia it's possible as they will calculate all of the land mass from galgaduud to burco and bosaso as 'one big ass field' but just that small acreage not possible.
The land in SL is to small, the investment that goes into isn't worth the profits returned. There is a reason why Jabuti isn't explored and has the same geology as Somalia. The reason is the acreage isn't worth the effort, time, and money.
Ogadeniya is different story. PL vastly different story due to their coastline being 40% of Somalia and the land-mass 1/3 of Somalia. Notice they can't dig 'awdal' also in SL, It's impossible for areas that are farm land to have oil reserves, it will mean all the land has to be leased out to the oil company to dig wells and the farmers need to be moved of the estate, oil companies do not do co-sharing arrangement, it's all land or nothing and the liklihood of that happening for such small awdal acreage isn't likely.
I am exploring the land sizes of real oil producing countries as we speak and finding out the country with the smallest land mass cuz that's good indicator if oil isn't even possible in SL.
