Notice that Anthony Solloway has now received 124,000 punches!

Oman's lack of any gas policy, let alone a coherent one, is a tragedy. Two quick points to add: one of the reasons for the gas shortage is the certain oil company(let's call them The Crustaceans) overestimating the Omani gas reserves as part of their global reserve inflation.<br /><br />Secondly even if there are massive reserves of shale gas in Oman, where is the water going to come from to perform the fracking? New reserves of Omani gas will be expensive to develop and will remain where they are until a proper domestic and export pricing policy is developed.
