ExxonMobil Interested in Exploring for Oil in Afghanistan
Exxon Mobil Corp. told Afghanistan’s Ministry of Mines it is interested in bidding on the right to explore for oil and gas in the country.
A spokesman for the Irving, Texas-based energy giant said Monday a unit of the company, Esso Exploration International Ltd., filed an “expression of interest” in the Afghan-Tajik Basin over the weekend.
The filing “is part of our ongoing evaluation of oil and gas resources around the world,” Exxon spokesman Alan Jeffers said.
The filing will give Exxon access to seismic and well log data in and around the area that is being offered for bid in Northern Afghanistan, near the city of Mazari-Sharif.
Bids will be accepted in the fall.

Now you know why we are in Afghanistan, but we will not be there for much longer. Exxon is getting despirate to find oil…anywhere. If hell had a likely spot they would try there.

We will bring you freedom!
“The United States respects the people of Afghanistan. After all, we are currently its largest source of humanitarian aid; but we condemn the Taliban regime. It is not only repressing its own people, it is threatening people everywhere by sponsoring and sheltering and supplying terrorists. By aiding and abetting murder, the Taliban regime is committing murder.”
G.W. Bush jr.

I am very glad that the Nexxon mobile company is interested in oil and Gas exploration in Afghanistan, I hope that it is the first step to pass a long way of thousand miles. Afghanistan is a country full with riches and minerals, today it is a poor country but after ten year it may be one of the richest countries in the world.
Wishing success to every company which want to work there in Afghanistan.
