@ yamit82:
There are enough billionaires in Israel to invest, also oil extraction companies with revolutionary technologies.. Eventually they will get the kaochas of mind to get it done. In time of real need the Govt. will step in. After all it’s a National Resource. I am not as pessimist,ic as you on this matter. They just don’t need it now, having gas at their doorstep, so to speak and more easily accessible for use and conversion. The pipelines for European exports are gong ahead well etc.
Did Jordan cancel that $15 Bill gas deal??. haven’t seen anything about it. But the Jordan Govt was celebrating the arrival of EGYPTIAN Gas …..
Anyway it’s all “gefundene Gelt”……And a few years ago, before all this, Israel was doing well without any expectation of billions falling from the “sky” into Israelt “airspace”………
This article in Arutz Sheva, and a video from Memri from which it is derived, reveal the existence of aa Syrian Mudar Zahran. Watch the MEMRI video in full:
@ Edgar G.:
We intend to keep it but without international recognition and a lessening of the threat from Syria and Hezbollah who will invest?

It used to be that the cost of producing a Bbl of oil needed to be below $50. will technological advances it’s now below $40 to make a profit…. Israel developed a patent on technology that reduces profitability even more with lower production costs…. What seems to be holding up Israeli development are environmentalists law suits and results of environmental impact studies.
It cost the Saudis a couple of dollars to extract a barrel of oil. Israeli shale is a very high-quality oil meaning less refining costs. All of Israeli power plants now have converted to natural gas.
In the initial stages, both oil and gas production will go to home markets.. Exporting is a problem due to costs and the Big producers so far of shut Israel out due to pressure from Arab competitors.
We have found some oil in the Med below the gas field finds. Besides major shale oil finds on the Golan there are 2-4 other sites where natural free-flowing oil has been discovered including the Golan.

Canada has been going at full blast for many years -mostly in Alberta
@ yamit82:
Israel has over 250 billion tons/barrels? More than 3 times as much as Jordan, on a far smaller territory…..and has the third largest shale reserve in the world. Most of it is just hard to get at. But eventually…likely when most needed, the tech will be found. The history of Israel is like an unfolding scroll, never going back, always progressing forward….. A few year ago, it was announced that the Golan had a lot of oil….. so there are treble reasons for Israel to keep it -and extend sovereignty.
@ yamit82: I didn’t know about Jordanian shale oil, Yamit. Can you tell me more about it? Have they succeeded in selling any shale oil concessions? How economically feasible would it be for oil countries to harvest shale oil deposits. The great expense, I understand, is one reason why development of these reserves in the United States and Canada has been fairly slow.
@ yamit82: The IMF’s demands are certainly a major problem for Jordan’s government, and a major cause of the political instibility in Jordan, because the Jordanians have been forced to raise taxes and fuel prices to pay the debt, and the public won’t accept these tax and fuel price increases.
@ adamdalgliesh:
Who really rules jordan?
Ans. Those holding most of the Jordanian debt.
@ adamdalgliesh:
Jordan awards oil shale concessions as it looks to energy independence
The kingdom has some of the world’s largest reserves of oil shale, which can be burnt to extract crude
oil shale in jordan@ yamit82:
Cui bono???
@ adamdalgliesh:
Cui bono, literally “to whom is it a benefit?”
Who controls Jordan controls hundreds of $$$ billions in oil shale.
IMF controlled by America
@ adamdalgliesh:

@ adamdalgliesh:
Problem is IMF
Problems facing Jordan Massive gov debt. massive unemployment especially the young, a million refugees and most of all the IMF!!

There are numerous other articles on AI Monitor covering the protest demonstrations in Jordan over the past six months. But you can’t get access to them unless you are a subscriber, and I am too cheap for that. Could obtain these are articles for our readers here at Israpundit and reprint them? I know you had republished pieces from AI from time to time; perhaps you have a subscription, or can obtain permission to reprint from them.

This is an important recent (Jan.11) article from AI monitor about the political crisis in Jordan. AI monitor seems to be the only English language website except for Israpundit and the JOC blogs that has been regularly covering the Jordanian protest movement.

This is interesting background about the Fourth Circle demonstrations, from a site called “GardWorld,” which professes to be one of the world’s largest private international security firms. They issue alerts concerning possible danger spots for Americans travelling abroad.
