Saudi-Iranian Oilfields To Remain Closed

Riyadh, March 14, 2050:

UN Atomic Energy Agency inspectors announced today that the latest radiological survey of the oilfields of the Saudi-Iranian Fallout Area confirms it will remain closed indefinitely.

Financial analysts on Yahoogle Net Friday speculated that the UNAEA report would clear the way for a partial re-opening of the Saudi-Iranian fields this century, and a possible limited return to the use of petroleum based energy sources for other than military needs.

Yahoogle energy commentator Sundi Mihrab maintained that undisclosed sources in the Shanghai Bureau of Alternative Energies had intimated to him last week that 'it was not impossible limited production in the Saudi-Iranian zone could resume this century'.

"People forget that at the turn of the century, oil was the lifeblood of industry,"Mihrab said.

"It is not unreasonable to expect that if production could be safely resumed in the Saudi-Iranian fields, and exploration in the Antartic resumed, it could provide a safe alternative to Antimatter Reactors and their inherent waste disposal issues."

A UNAEA spokesperson told ZI that radiation levels in the Saudi-Iranian fallout zone were likely to be hazardous to human health well into the middle of the next century, and the technology for robotic exploitation of the fields was not yet proven.
