| | Online NewsHour: Pumping Oil Out of the Central Asia -- September 18, 1997 |
 | | JULIA NANAY, Petroleum Finance Company: Well, if you look at the oil industry and you look at the history of the oil industry, basically big and small oil companies, the last big oil producing province that was discovered through exploration was discovered over 25 years ago, and that was the North Sea. |
 | | JULIA NANAY: Well, essentially, if you look at the Caspian today, it's hard to tell exactly what is there, but if you look at estimates that the Department of Energy has come out with, they're saying that potentially there's about a hundred to two hundred billion barrels of oil in the Caspian Basin. |
 | | JULIA NANAY: And then the other route that the U.S. would very much like to see is a route out of Turkmenistan that carries gas first and then oil through Afghanistan to Pakistan and then on to India. |
