| [HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] Tribesmen stopped on Sunday all its works in the most important oil fields in Shabwah province, which is under the control of the UAE-backed factions in eastern Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... . Tribal sources confirmed that people from the "Thahba" area of the "Balharith" tribes in Usilan district have stopped all internal work in Oil Block No. 5 of "PetroMasila" company due to the companies’ failure to supply electricity to the people of the area since 2009. The rustics called on the oil company operating the Oil Block 5 to implement the agreements signed with the former operator, the American "Hunt" firm, during the past period and with it during the current stage. This comes after written warnings issued by the people of the area to the operating company yesterday, Saturday, to stop all its operations. |

| #1 Although it failed to build a major pipeline from its find in eastern Yemen, in 2000 Hunt (USA) was still granted a five-year extension at its Ras Issa base. By then a more durable storage facility was clearly needed other than the offshore storage vessel Hunt used. (The ship would be used for thirty years.) Eventually, Hunt was denied permission to continue in Yemen, and in 2005 a Yemen govt contractor began administering the Hunt original pipeline and its storage ship. In 2012 a consortium led by Dubai's ChemieTech started building an onshore terminal which apparently has yet to be completed. To date, all petroleum operations in Yemen have been dogged by corruption, and Hunt considered itself well quit of the place. |
