A potentially massive oil and gas reserve could be buried off the southeast city of Pohang, South Korea's President Yoon Suk Yeol said Monday. The reserve off Yeongil Bay in Pohang, about 260 kilometers southeast of Seoul, could hold up to 14 billion barrels of oil and gas, an amount that could meet South Korea's gas demands for 29 years and oil demands for four years, Yoon said. He cited a geophysical study conducted by an unidentified foreign seismic research company, according to South Korea's News Agency (Yonhap). "The recent results indicate a very high possibility of deposits amounting to 14 billion barrels of oil and gas, and these findings have been verified by leading research institutions and experts," Yoon said during the briefing at the presidential office. The Korea's Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy has approved the exploration drilling plan, with preliminary results expected by the first half of next year. Source: Qatar News Agency
