My Note -
I thought it was strange that on the page of the CIA World Factbook about economics and resources of Afghanistan there was 0 exports of natural gas despite confirmed reserves (listed below) and 0 confirmed petroleum reserves or exports or production despite petroleum being listed as one of the known country resources – so I got to looking around . . . and found the bidding opportunities listed above for the rights to explore and develop the petroleum resources in Afghanistan. No wonder the world’s military forces, including those of the US, are in Afghanistan – it didn’t make any sense when supposedly the Taliban had been defeated and the country returned to its people in 2001 (and certainly thereafter with the NATO / UK / US and international forces from 42 countries there “securing” the area.)
