Oil in Haiti, reasons for the US occupation, Part 2 – Ezili Danto – Open Salon

Work has begun at the old site by EGDON RESOURCES to determine if there are sufficient oil reserves to justify a major drilling programme. The UK’s first commercial oil well was drilled at Eakring,(between Newark and Ollerton), in 1939 and fuel from Dukes Wood powered tanks taking part in the WWII D-Day landings. The site produced 47 million barrels of oil until 1964 and was instrumental in the discovery of oil and gas in the North Sea-trained crew from Eakring transferred to the rigs at sea. The exploration will take place to a depth of around 800 metres.
