(IsraelNN.com) Oil was discovered Wednesday in the Dead Sea by the
international petroleum company Genco.
Dr. Eli Tenenbaum, an official of the company, said that he
expected the oil to be of commercial quality. "We have seen that
the pressure at the drill is very high. When we opened the tap the
oil flowed freely for several seconds," said Tanenbaum.
According to Tenenbaum, drilling has been going on at the site for
several weeks.
The oil was discovered at a depth of 2000 meters. Additional tests
are required to determine the total amount of oil available in the
well.
