UK oil firm strides into N Korea英国石油会社大またで北朝鮮に踏み込む

Anglo-Irish oil company Aminex has signed a 20-year deal to develop North Korea's oil industry.
Aminex said it would provide technical assistance to North Korea. In addition, it will be permitted to explore and drill throughout the secretive country.
Should Aminex strike oil, it will get royalties on any of its own production, as well as being entitled to earnings from wells drilled by other firms.
Aminex believes its prospects of striking oil in North Korea are good.
"The country is highly prospective for new discoveries but lack of resources has so far restricted progress", said Aminex, which is listed on the London and Dublin stock markets.
Patience rewarded
North Korea "has an existing petroleum industry and several wells have been drilled onshore and offshore over a 25 year period, resulting in limited discoveries of oil," said Aminex chief executive Brian Hall.
Aminex has been looking at opportunities in North Korea since its first visit there in 2001.
It signed a deal with North Korean officials on 30 June 2004 in Pyongyang but postponed an announcement "because of a number of outstanding issues that have now been resolved".
In a statement, Mr Hall said he hoped that developing the oil industry might help to thaw international relations, which have become frosty in recent months amid concerns about the country's nuclear programme.
"At present, relations between North Korea and the outside world are strained but the important relationship with South Korea appears to be improving and commercial co-operation is on the increase," said Mr Hall.
"An expanding energy industry may possibly help to build bridges between North Korea and the outside world."
Tough environment
North Korea is one of the world's most secretive countries, and among the poorest.
Millions of are thought to have died during the famine of the late 1990s. More recently, North Korean officials have made tentative steps towards economic reforms similar to those implemented by China, one of its few allies. But tensions over the country's nuclear programme remain a stumbling block to investment.
Aminex has existing operations in the US, Russia and Tanzania.
