Nope, no oil... which is why U.S. backs the Azeris and not us, that wonderful christian President of ours.

Bush is a f ag...but kerry won't be any diffrent, as far as relations with Armenia go.

Actually, even if Armenia did have oil, would it help? I mean... Arab countries have oil, and their leaders get rich, but the people are poor and suffering. And since we don't have such a great government, what makes you think it would be different for us? It's not like if that evil dasterdly nation of Israel struck oil, because those heathenous jackels would actually put it right back into the country and build a more propserous nation and culture, unlike us divinely beautiful Armenians who screw each other over at the first oppertunity.

No. Which is why most of the country's electricity comes from nuclear power.

[IvyLipstick]

I do not think the country of present-day Armenia does. I mean European countries for the most part do not contain any oils whatsoever.

Arabs control about 90% of the world's oil.

I know. ...................

[IvyLipstick]

Yep, no Euro-nation north south east or west really has oil. They export that.

Not really. The largest exporter of oil is Russia, as far as I know. The arab states' exports are so popular because the oil is easy to drill for. You don't have to drill in the middle of the ocean, and being mostly desert there aren't the typical zoning and conservation issues. :)

well i found this link, after long serach Armenian American Exploration Company (http://www.aaec.am).

Actually, you are wrong. Europe does have large amounts of Oil, under the North Sea.

It is enough oil to sustain UK, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Northern Germany, Holland, and Belgium.

Yes but Arab soils supply that pal.

What the hell are you rambling on about? If you put it that way YES everywhere you go has at least one iota of some oil. That was not my point though, when I said "has oil" I meant a sufficient amount to distribute and no European nation does that because they are capitalistic and import it.

[bell-the-cat]

Tis you that is doing the rambling. Norway, Denmark and Sweden and (until this year) Britain are all net exporters of crude oil. There are many different types of crude oil depending on where in the world it is found, some are best for gasoline, some for petrochemical industries, some for aviation fuel, etc.

[TigranJamharian]

I dont know about the other ones but i know that Norway definately exports oil.

[!EEK]

Well duh, norway is exporting more than some arabe country and many people know about it...they get their petrole under see though..

Rosneftegazstroi to prospect for oil, gas in Armenia

Moscow. (Interfax) - Russia's Rosneftegazstroi is registering a license with the Armenian Energy Ministry to prospect for oil and gas in the Shirak province, 120 km from Yerevan, Ruben Melikonian, the company's vice president, told Interfax.

Melikoian said Armenia had commercial oil an gas reserves. "We will use modern technology to find these deposits," he said.

Geologists have drilled more than 200 prospecting wells, mostly in Central Armenia, since 1947 and found little to show for their efforts. Even so, the Soviet government estimated in 1979 that Armenia hosted a potential 100 million tonnes of oil and 100 billion cubic meters (bcm) of gas.

Rosneftegazstroi will go on to prospect for oil and gas in other regions of Armenia, Melikonian said.

Rosneftegazstroi is thinking of setting up a joint venture and opening a representative office in Armenia, he said.

The company is also interested in the Iran - Armenia gas pipeline construction project, he said.

I heard about our "reserved" oil... but I don't believe that...

That is what she said she is saying that IT IS NOT THEIR OWN OIL RESERVE THEY EXPORT IT. Having your own is considered "having oil." If you put it that way every nation in the world has oil. And look what you just said "Britain are all net exporters of crude oil" THAT IS RIGHT, they are exporters. MEaning, they get it from deserts like Iran and IRaq or Saudi Arabia (middle east) and they sel it to other nations for profit. Do your homework.

You do your homework! :rolleyes: :) Every country in the world imports oil. Even Saudi Arabia imports oil! That's because the oil that they pump from under their soil ground is not suitable for every purpose. That is why there are various prices quoted for a barrel of crude oil - there are different sorts of crude oil.
This year, because of declining production in the oil fields of the North Sea, Britain, for the first time since the 1960s, imported more crude oil, and more refined oil, than was exported.

I'm sure Armenia has some oil reserves - it is just that they are not going to be exploitable because they are small and the cost of getting at them will probably always going to be too high.
