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

You sure about that buddy?

US exploration blocks and basins pre-1991 collapse.

I believe every Somali region has blocks of oil whether on or offshore. There is more than enough for the whole country to eat from

Off shore is more likely to be drilled.

You have to deal with clans on shore. And potential invasions

PL is against exploration without an agreement that's why there is no blocks from PL is up for sale, but also you can't just appoint ministers and say they're responsible for granting permits when even the law Farmaaajo passed in 2020 states that's the job of SPA which consists of FGS and FMS representatives, (PL is also against this law because - you guessed it- they weren't consulted as the constitution stipulates).

But to be fair Puntland is not included in the oil blocks, It is from Hobyo too Kismayoo and nothing to do with Puntland or Somaliland. SFG already respected your wish to not include Puntland.

I think PL is against it because if they agree with a company to explore oil in PL the federal government will refuse that, and FGS doesn't want to reach an agreement with PL and that's why they are refusing unilateral decisions without consultation.

Extracting oil takes decades shit ain't like the minerals you dig out of earth like that.

They’re going to sell it before it reaches production. Companies are offering 100s of million in upfront payments

Dhahoor and nugaal has trillions worth of oil. Stop with this emotion qabiil based claim. Central only has offshore, PL has both offshore and onshore. This is a proven fact.

If Siad Barre built oil production infrastructure before the war and it miraculously survived the war, Somalia would have been eating now.

He would’ve probably got away with his repression and anti-democracy. Like the Saudis and Qataris have.

You can’t stay a dictatorship if the living standards keep plummeting, eventually people just go we have nothing to lose.

The oil game waay dhimitay looool. It’ll take atleast 20 years but we have to get rid of alsjabaab which takes a decade at our rate.

Nonsense, Somaliland is drilling for oil and SFG hasn't said a thing. I think Puntland is acting jealous and doesn't want wealth for Somalia especially Hawiye regions. It is our oil so Fk Puntland, we will sign and bring out the oil.
