Postage stamps to mark greatest oil discovery
Manama : New postage stamps were issued by Bahrain Post to commemorate the epoch-making largest light oil reservoir discovery. The Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunication (MTT)’s Post Department issued three stamps, a souvenir card and envelope in an ensemble of designs to illustrate Khaleej Al Bahrain Oil Reservoir, the biggest oilfield in the Kingdom’s history.
The new oil production is anticipated to boost Bahrain’s competitiveness and capacity to achieve its sustainable development goals, initiatives and projects. Agreement has been reached with Halliburton to commence drilling on two further appraisal wells in 2018, to further evaluate reservoir potential, optimise completions, and initiate long-term production, Oil Minister Shaikh Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Khalifa, had said.
