Britain is involved in a secret high-stakes dash for oil in Somalia
Mark Townsend and Tariq Abdinasir
Saturday, February 25, 2012
Britain is involved in a secret high-stakes dash for oil in Somalia, with the government offering humanitarian aid and security assistance in the hope of a stake in the beleaguered country's future energy industry.
Riven by two decades of conflict that have seen the emergence of a dangerous Islamic insurgency, Somalia is routinely described as the world's most comprehensively "failed" state, as well as one of its poorest. Its coastline has become a haven for pirates preying on international shipping in the Indian Ocean.
David Cameron last week hosted an international conference on Somalia, pledging more aid, financial help and measures to tackle terrorism. The summit followed a surprise visit by the foreign secretary, William Hague, to Mogadishu, the Somali capital, where he talked about "the beginnings of an opportunity'' to rebuild the country.
The Observer can reveal that, away from the public focus of last week's summit, talks are going on between British officials and Somali counterparts over exploiting oil reserves that have been explored in the arid north-eastern region of the country. Abdulkadir Abdi Hashi, minister for international cooperation in Puntland, north-east Somalia – where the first oil is expected to be extracted next month – said: "We have spoken to a number of UK officials, some have offered to help us with the future management of oil revenues. They will help us build our capacity to maximise future earnings from the oil industry."
British involvement in the future Somali oil industry would be a boon for the UK economy and comes at a time when the world is increasingly concerned about the actions of Iran, the second-biggest oil producer in Opec.
Hashi, in charge of brokering deals for the region's oil reserves, also said Somalia was looking to BP as the partner they wanted to "help us explore and build our oil capacity". He added: "We need those with the necessary technical knowhow, we plan to talk to BP at the right time."
Somali prime minister Abdiweli Mohamed Ali said his government had little choice but to entice western companies to Somalia by offering a slice of the country's natural resources, which include oil, gas and large reserves of uranium. "The only way we can pay [western companies] is to pay them in kind, we can pay with natural resources at the fair market value."
Britain is not the only country looking to develop Somalia's vast natural resources. Last month oil exploration began in Puntland by the Canadian company Africa Oil, the first drilling in Somalia for 21 years. Hashi, who sealed the Africa Oil deal, said the first oil was expected to be extracted within the next "20 to 30 days".
The company estimates there could be up to 4bn barrels (about $500bn worth at today's prices) in its two drilling plots. Other surveys indicate that Puntland province alone has the potential to yield 10bn barrels, placing it among the top 20 countries holding oil. Chinese and US firms are among those understood to have also voiced interest about the potential for oil now that, for the first time in 20 years, the country is safe enough to drill.
Yet it is the extent of oil deposits beneath the Indian Ocean that is most exciting Somali officials. One said the potential was comparable to that of Kuwait, which has more than 100bn barrels of proven oil reserves. If true, the deposits would eclipse Nigeria's reserves – 37.2bn barrels – and make Somalia the seventh largest oil-rich nation.
The state-owned China National Offshore Oil Corporation has tried to acquire an interest in Somalia's reserves. Senior officials from the Somali transitional government are adamant that the imminent extraction of oil in Puntland next month would kickstart a scramble from the multinationals.
On Thursday, the last day of the London conference, BP and Shell unveiled an initiative to support job-creation projects in the coastal regions of Somalia. A subsidiary of Shell was thought to have acquired exploration concessions in Puntland before the descent into lawlessness in 1991.
A BP spokesman said there were "no plans" to work in Somalia and no official had recently visited the country.

Five major wholesale markets in China:
Hanzhen Jie in Wuhan City, Hubei Province;
Linyi Market in Linyi, Shandong Province;
Nansantiao Market in Shijiazhuang in Hebei Province;
China Small Commodities City in Yiwu City, Zhejiang Province;

most populous urban areas including Guangzhou in the south, to Shanghai in the east, and
Beijing and Tianjin in the northeast. A branch of the China Small Commodities City
market of Yiwu located in Wulumuqui in Xinjiang Province serves as an export post for the Middle East and Eastern Europe. These markets (represented by circles) and their
relationship to the manufacturing centers (shaded areas) are set forth in the map below.
In 1982, the Yiwu AIC established the Zhejiang China Small Commodities City Group,
(Shang Cheng Ji Tuan in Chinese, and hereinafter SCJT), a wholesale market specializing
in trading small commodities.
China Small Commodities Market (CSCM) Management Company One SCJT subsidiary, the CSCM Management Company, actually engages in the trading of counterfeit goods and serves a major role in distribution of these products to the SCJT’s branch markets.
Based upon the author’s own experience, at least 90% of the products sold in the China Small Commodities market are either counterfeit or infringing products.
In some cities, such as Yiwu discussed below, the entire local economy is connected to the trade in counterfeits.
Role of Yiwu in distribution. Yiwu serves a central distribution center for
counterfeit goods to markets around the country. At the center of town, two large
transportation companies occupy two open-area transport areas, both the size of football
fields. Around the perimeter of these areas are representative local transport offices from
cities and towns all over China. Operating continuously day and night, trucks and lorries
unload counterfeit products made in southern China in factories financed by criminal
organizations in Hong Kong and Taiwan in one open transport area for storage and sale in
Yiwu’s wholesale markets. In the other open transport area, other trucks and lorries load
counterfeit products already bought from these wholesale markets in for delivery to all
parts of China.
