North Korea's Oil Fields

短いから引用

North Korea has published three documents on its hydrocarbon reserves:

General Information on North Korean Oil Fields
East Sea (See of Japan) Reserves
West Sea (Yellow Sea) Reserves
These documents indicate oil reserves of 8-10 billion tons. This information was released at Rajin-Sonbong seminars held in Japan and reported by Sankei-Shinbun, a major Japanese newspaper. Jo-Chong-Ryon (General Association of Koreans Resident in Japa n) has published a lower figure of 6 billion tons.

A Japanese petroleum engineer has examined samples provided by North Korea at a Rajin oilfield and determined the crude to be of high grade. North Korea is looking to joint-venture with major oil exploration companies to co-develop its hydrocarbon reserv es as part of the Rajin-Sonbong Free Trade Zone
