And finally with the PM tonight, the media asked him today about theta oil find in the Gallon Jug area of northern Belize. It's proving difficult to extract because it is trapped under rock formations and the oil is very thick. PM Barrow says he has turned to his counterpart in Trinidad for assistance:..
Prime Minister Dean Barrow
"I've asked the Prime Minister of Trinidad & Tobago if she would send a mission from PetroTrin. I think they do a lot of the heavy oil extraction and I thought that perhaps their experts might be able to advise us, give us a better handle on what exactly it would take to get at the oil which as I said is extra thick crude and lodged in rock formations that are not very porous or are impermeable. I spoke to her on the phone, I sent her an email. I have not yet had a response but hopefully that mission can materialize and that would help. That's where we are."
Trinidad's first oil find was over 150 years ago.
