ARTICLE VII
Unitization of Deposits
If any single oil or gas structure or field or any other mineral deposit
extends across the delimitation line established in Article II and the part of such
structure, field or deposit which is situated on one side of the line is exploitable,
wholly or in part, from the other side of the line, the Contracting Parties shall,
after holding the appropriate technical consultations, make every effort to
reach agreement on the manner in which any such structure, field or deposit
shall be most effectively exploited and on the equitable sharing of the costs and
benefits arising from such exploitation.
ARTICLE VIII
Notification of Exploration or Exploitation Activities
In cases where either Contracting Party decides to carry out or to permit
drilling activities for exploration or exploitation in areas five hundred metres
(500 m) from the delimitation line, such activities shall be notified in advance to
the other Contracting Party through diplomatic channels

This is the most irresponsible reporting that is driven by sheer ignorance and perhaps instructions from the PNM to create kuchoor in the energy sector. Did she ask the Energy officials to show her the evidence to back up their fictitious claims as she must to get to the truth? I will report this matter to the Press Complaints Council although since Monday I spoke to the Express Editor in Chief, Omatie Lyder and sent her the above article outlining the blatant errors. Yet she allows Asha to continue to deceive and publish bilge to sell newspapers.
