Good luck to the committee but in my view Somalia and other countries in the Horn eg Ethiopia should hold off on exploiting natural resources until there's a widespread political consensus on how the revenues of the proceeds will be shared out

Puntland has no oil, nor is any of the blocks that will be given be in their territory.

Companies like Range Resources have already tried to search for oil there and found nothing.

This is their way of frustrating the federal government, but knowing the minister of Petroleum Abdirazak, I doubt they will make changes.

Yh I doubt the FGS revokes the 2020 act. There’s a lot of money in selling the blocks and getting advanced revenue too according to Abdirizak. Hope it’s spent all on security

Puntland has the most potential for oil which is why American corporations made camp in Garowe including an airstrip before the civil war. There are no blocks sold in Puntland because we rejected this farce. The states that are participating have no choice but to.

PL won’t stop the FGS momentum. The only blocks the FGS is passing these laws for are these

It does violate PL’s mudug claim but beyond that it only involves GM, HS, KG.

That's a lie, go look at seismic testing done by range resources in Puntland and why they left.

The North and South have a different continental shelf, which extends from Kismayo to Mudug. This is confirmed by tests done by Spectrum Geo

Southern and Central Somalia​

The seismic data reveals several large fold and thrust belts including a predominantly Tertiary fold belt, similar to offshore Mozambique in the Rovuma Basin. There is also an older Cretaceous fold belt involving Cenomanian to Maastrichtian shelf and slope sediments that have been thrust up and folded into a plethora of large anticline structures.

The interesting thing about this fold belt is that all the thrust planes sole-out on a common detachment surface that we interpret to be Cenomanian–Turonian (CT) shales. It is well known that shales rich in organic carbon, and particularly those in the oil window, can act as regional detachment surfaces. The model predicts that the shales that act as slip surfaces for the thrusts can also be the source rock that supplies the oil to the overlying structures.

The probability of finding good quality reservoirs is high. Thick, quartz-rich sandstones of Cretaceous and Tertiary age with high porosity are expected in the southern and central Somalia basins as a result of erosion from largely Precambrian granitic basement plus reworking of older Karoo sandstones. The burial depths are not high, so we expect good porosity to be maintained.

Northern Somalia​

The northern part of offshore Somalia has a very different geology to that found to the south. The reason for this is related to the creation of a huge uplifted structural arch, known as the Somalia Arch, at the start of the Late Cretaceous
