The Castro regime announced that it is promoting new projects for gas-oil drilling on the northern coast of the Island, this as part of a desperate attempt to eventually deal with the fuel shortage in the country.
According to the official press, these projects seek to solve the energy deficit in the Greater Antilles, which generates blackouts of up to 12 hours a day in several regions of the country.
These plans will be carried out in the western region of the Island, and are associated with the already known deposit located in Varadero VDW-1012, which has a record for horizontal length of 8,047 meters.
In an attempt to keep the population calm, the regime’s propaganda media assured that the country’s thermoelectric plants process this type of national crude oil, and that no other sources will be needed to obtain the fuel, or at least that is what the experts in charge of it consider. the perforations.
The press emphasizes that 99% of national oil and gas production comes from the western oil belt, while the remaining 1% comes from some areas in Ciego de Ávila and Sancti Spíritus.
Specialists from the Empresa del Centro, based in Varadero, indicated that innovations are being applied with the support of China to explore the crude oil and gas reserves located under the seabed, and that without the intervention of this other country this could not be taken advantage of. Deposit.
Finally, the Cuban Petroleum Union (CUPET) urged its workforce to redouble discipline in the search and extraction of oil, as it affirms that the Island is facing a “media war” that seeks to destabilize peace in the country using clear shortage of hydrocarbons on the Island as its main weapon.
While the government is very optimistic about these projects, the announcement comes in the midst of one of the worst economic crises on the Island, which has generated a very palpable fuel shortage.
In that sense, the population of the Island has been skeptical about the news given by the government, going so far as to describe it as a simple distraction to try to keep the people busy or hopeful.
“At this rate, in 65 more years the blackouts will end”; “None of this appears in the usual media, I even thought that Cuba did not have an oil industry” and “Where are they going to refine the oil they get from there?” were some of the comments seen on social networks.
