Israel might sit on Middle East oil
Reports about new potential for discovering oil in Israel generated excitement at the International Conference of the
American Association of Petroleum Geologists recently held in Vienna.
Tovia Luskin, Director of Israel's Givot Olam Oil company, presented delegates with his new theory of linking Israel
to the Paleozoic petroleum system of the Middle East, a concept which could signal a breakthrough in oil exploration
in Israel.
Independent Dallas petroleum consultants Forrest A. Garb Associates Inc. have rated Givot Olam's prospects for
finding oil as better than average.
