Bahrain Mirror: Oil Minister Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Khalifa said that the National Oil and Gas Authority is currently drilling the oil wells that were recently discovered in Bahrain.

"Work is underway to complete the collection of information and geological surveys to determine recoverable quantities and other details," Al Khalifa told the journalists.

Comments of senior analysts increased the doubts about Bahrain's capability of making use of the quantities of shale oil in the water.
