Presumably the government would have done in-depth study, customized and consultative approach for a friendly environment, research, collaborative exercise while assessing the risks, and the sustainability of the business as a whole and at the same it is the responsibility of the government and the bidder to act as Global Corporate citizens to embrace the highest technology needed like the Digital Asset by Haliburton to preserve and have a friendly environment more decision making process would add some dimension.

If Oil strikes, it would greatly assist our economy and why we should not take the challenge and in the end the economy will thrive if transparency and reporting is done on a regular basis.

Oil is like a gold and every effort should be encouraged and appreciated not to mention the booming economy of Middle East, Venezuela etc.

Go for Gold should be the vision.
