Re: New oilfield discovery
Does anyone actually believe this!!!
Don't tell me Michael Jackson is going to play Festival City next!!!
Cynic I know, but they did tell us for months the economic crisis would not affect Dubai - of course that was true!

On the other hand, we haven't seen any verified information yet. You really can't say how big or small it may be.

Re: New oilfield discovery
Dubai's coastline is rather small. In all the years of oil exploration and that the Emirate was no doubt out full force hunting for more oil in the past two decades when its supply was running out, they suddenly manage to discover an unknown oil field?
Yep, right, sure.

Hopefully this news will introduce some much-needed stability. I may have short-term plans here, but my local friends have nowhere else to go. For their sake I hope this is the real deal.
