It will bring much needed resources but normally bug companies hire politicians for dirty games which is happening all across the world in oil producing countries and recently in Venezuela and Nigeria are examples.
lol this guy knows nothing about drilling. the pressure kick doesnt confirm that there is oil present or not. Similarly even if oil deposits are found they have to prove feasible to take out. most of the time there are deposits but they are not economically feasible to take out. to confirm if they are economically feasible or not they have to drill multiple oil wells. Similarly even if oil deposits are found it will take 2-3 years for this oil to be used, bcuz you will need pipelines and a storage and processing facility as well. So lets all hold our horses here for 3 weeks as Ik said and pray that we get good news. This guy isnt an expert on this topic by any means.
