Industry cautious on Somali oil goals

摘要

London-Oil and gas companies have warned Somalia’s fledgling government faces a long road to potential hydrocarbon wealth, as a key minister lashed out at companies cooperating with break-away regions of the country. Shell, which pulled out of the war-torn country in 1990, has been looking for a way back into the African nation following the formation of a fragile federal government in 2012, the company’s vice president for sub- Saharan African exploration Alastair Milne told the Somalia Oil and Gas Summit in London this week.
