Expert Hashem Aql: Jordan's oil formed over millennia
The main conclusion of the article regarding Jordan’s oil wealth is that the country has geological indicators suggesting the presence of hydrocarbons in certain areas; however, there is no reliable evidence or official studies confirming the existence of large oil reserves or the potential for commercial extraction. Expert Hashem Aql emphasized that the difference between geological signals and commercial discoveries is significant, and that technical and economic factors—such as limited reservoirs and the complexities of geological formations—explain why large-scale oil production has not yet taken place. He also pointed out that claims of massive reservoirs exceeding the reserves of countries like Saudi Arabia are not based on credible data. The presence of substantial reserves would transform Jordan’s economy and attract significant investments, but this has not happened so far.
