Houston, The Democratic Republic of Dhabi
A new subdivision was going up just 10 minutes outside of the city center of Houston Monday when workers drilled to hit a local aquifer came up on a black thick substance after a quick call to the job site supervisor is was determined it was oil. Yes that is right oil in Dhabi, the national government is going in to find out how much is there and if there is more but from current test it is suggested that there is over 6 billion tons just in the section of the capital area. The country has bought over 30 million in oil production equitment and is opening the feilds up for private comanys to drill. The country will be talking to other counties bout soon to be exporting oil to countries for money and goods but right now no country is taking interest the President and Secretary of Foreign Trade are taking any offers to export this oil.
