Gharibashvili's entourage cut and appropriated the pipes of "Frontera"
- August 18, 2021
We have already mentioned what Georgian-American love is like on the example of "Frontera". But we will not finish our stories… The license area of ??"Frontera", which it owns in Georgia, is 5060 sq. Km and includes four municipalities of Georgia: Dedoplistskaro, Sighnaghi, Sagarejo, Gurjaani and Marneuli districts. And as we know, "Frontera" problem has been encountered only in Dedoplistskaro and Sighnaghi since 2013.
What is happening today?
In Kakheti, in particular in Dedoplistskaro, oil has been spilled for several months since the second Nazarel well. All work on the spot is suspended. There are puddles of black fuel oil in the area. In some places the oil from the wells has formed a bed and flows like a river in a radius of several hundred meters.
Information about oil-flooded areas has been circulating for several months now, although a similar situation is not limited to one of these wells, as well as a number of wells nearby. If it is not conserved in time and the oil is stopped on the spot, it may have a disastrous result.
It is summer now, someone might throw a cigarette there and it will already be followed by a fire. A fire that will cover tens of kilometers and also destroy the Vashlovna National Reserve.
The oil rises under natural pressure and no one pays attention to it. For months, the tanks have been filled. About a few hundred liters are spilled periodically. It flows into the slope, passes through arable lands and joins Vashlovni Nature Reserve.
This is already called ecocide!
Whose well is left now - "Fronteras" or the state?
According to Frontera, after losing the arbitral tribunal last year, when 99 percent of the state's search areas were returned, a second well of Nazareth was built in this area. Consequently, they simply no longer had the right to continue operating. That is why the American company blames the state for the oil spill.
"Now it's the responsibility of the oil agency and the corporation. The oil corporation and the agency restricted the company from operating. Accordingly, the wells also belong to the Oil Corporation. "
However, according to the Oil and Corporation Agency, "Frontera was responsible for continuing to operate safely on site so as not to create a threat of environmental pollution, which, according to the agency," Frontera "did not take into account and continued to drill the well without following any rules and regulations.
As a rule, the amount of damage to the environment should now be assessed, on the basis of which the state may impose sanctions under Frontera legislation.
In addition to spilling oil, the environment is also significantly damaged. Specialists think that it is necessary to respond in time so that the soil is not further destroyed and subject to restoration.
