In a time of energy crisis and uncontrollable increases in the price of oil, oil engineer Sazan Guri has spoken in the program “Top Talk” denouncing that the Albanian oil is being stolen.
Sazan Guri: We (Albania) used to produce oil, once we reached 1.2 million tons of oil per year, reached a maximum of 2.5 million oil and built refineries with some minor shortcomings. Until 2007 and 2008, Albanian oil with sulfur content was produced, not as required by the European standard. In the present conditions it seems that the war is to blame, but the energy crisis has been declared since September or October.
“In all Albanian governments it is inconceivable that contrary to the interests of the nation, you have the refinery and destroy it,” said Guri, referring to the recent dismantling of the Ballsh oil refinery.
Question: Do we have oil reserves?
Sazan Guri: Albanian oil comes from the source of Patos Marinza which has 400 years of oil reserves, but instead of getting the energy that comes with its own oil layers, you come up with third or fourth methods, and you take 2 tons a day, when you may get up to 14 tons a day. This is called exploitation. We are capable of instructing the current prime minister. It used to be the oil institute that decided when a foreign company did a study, which we (the institute) did in parallel”.
