BRAZIL OIL FIND MAY BE WORLD'S 3RD LARGEST

 

[1] A deep-water exploration area off Brazil's

coast could contain as much as 33 billion

barrels of oil, the head of Brazil's National

Petroleum Agency said Monday. That

[5] would make it the world's third-largest

known oil reserve.

Haroldo Lima cautioned that his information

on the field off the coast of Rio de Janeiro is

unofficial and needs to be confirmed.

[10] The state-run Petrobras oil company

declined comment on what would be the

planet's largest oil find in decades, and its

shares moved wildly in positive territory

after Lima made the comments.

[15] By early afternoon, the company's

American depository shares were up 8.5

percent in New York, or $9.54, to $122.39.

Petrobras shares in Brazil went on a wild

rise, fluctuating between 2 percent and 7

[20] percent higher and settling and up nearly 5

percent in late afternoon trading.

Lima told reporters that Petrobras "may

have discovered a huge petroleum field that

could contain reserves large as 33 billion

[25] barrels," amounting to the world's thirdlargest

reserve, according to his

spokesman, Luiz Fernando Manso.

Manso did not provide any details about

where Lima got his information, except to

[30] say it came from "non-official, nonconfirmed

sources."

Lima's agency regulates Brazil's oil

industry, and his comments appeared to

represent confirmation of what experts have

[35] long suspected: That extremely deep

exploration areas hundreds of miles

(kilometers) off the nation's coast may hold

potentially huge reserves.

Brazil's current proven oil reserves are 11.8

[40] billion barrels, according to the U.S. Energy

Department. The U.S. has 21.8 billion

barrels in proven reserves.

"You're talking about a reserve the size of

total U.S. reserves," said Tim Evans, an

[45] analyst with Citigroup Inc. in New York. "It's

a big, big number."

If proven, the oil in the Carioca exploration

area would also be five times larger than

the Tupi oil field, whose estimated reserves

[50] of 8 billion barrels were announced by

Petroleo Brasileiro SA in November.

Petrobras also announced a blockbuster

find of natural gas in February in an Atlantic

Ocean field nicknamed Jupiter.

[55] Industry experts say the Tupi and Jupiter

fields alone could turn Brazil into a major oil

and gas exporter and lead to it joining

OPEC.

Teacher's prayer
James J. Metcalf

Iwant to teach my students how
    To live this life on earth,
To face its struggle and its strife
    And improve their worth.

Not just the lesson in a book,
    Or how the rivers flow,
But how to choose the proper path,
    Wherever they may go.

To understand eternal truth,
    And know the right from wrong,
And gather all the beauty of
    A flower and a song.

For if! hetp the world to grow
    In wisdom and in grace,
Then, | shall feel that | have won
    And | have filed my place.

And so | ask my guidance, God
    That | may do my part,
For character and confidence
    And happiness of heart.
