馬達加斯加準備石油探勘

非洲馬達加斯加，動物的最後天堂地之一，
馬達加斯加政府為了經濟發展，決定進行石油探勘作業，
自然的馬達加斯加，未來或許只能在電影裡看到。
許多開發中與未開發的國家，已成為已開發國，動歪腦筋的目標。
我們不斷的開發，地球資源漸漸被掏空，總是有消耗殆盡的一天，
到那一天，我們所仰賴的資源耗盡，我們留下的剩下什麼？
萬物之靈的人類啊？擁有智慧，擁有人性，擁有聰明才智，擁有創造與發明的天賦。
但我們能再創造一個地球ㄇ？？ mingyi 96/03/09

Madagascan government officials have confirmed that the island country now is ready for the explorati on of its oil potential, the local L'Express daily reported on Saturday.
"Exploration for oil is ongoing and we are planning a large exploration project this year in a possib le oil field named Tsimiroro," said the head of the National Department, Elise Razaka, who is in charge of the oil and mining industries.
The goal of the search is to confirm the quality and quantity of oil available in Tsimiroro, located in the onshore Morondava Basin, 550 kilometers southwest of the capital city, he said.
Razaka added that the project, which is to start in the second quarter of this year, is one of the most advanced oil exploration projects undertaken in India n Ocean island countries.
It is estimated that Tsimiroro contains 8 billion barrels of heavy oil with hydrocarbons found in the Isalo and Amboloando formations. The country plans to export the oil unrefined.
The government of Madagascar expects foreign investors to participate in the oil exploration by becom ing partners of Madagascar Oil, a private oil and gas exploration and production company.
Foreign companies, including EXXON, Mobil, Chevron and Shell, have expressed interests in the project, but none of them have taken any major steps toward making a commitment.
