LAKE MAJATRA - After being granted permission by the Emperor himself, Deltarian Energy has commenced renewed drilling operations in Lake Majatra. Despite some limited backlash from neighbouring countries over the years, Deltarian Energy continued to survey the lake in search of new wells for both oil and gas extraction. After nearly two years of continued surveying, it has marked three areas of potentially large oil fields in the lake, requesting the Emperor in a direct petitition if constructing drilling platforms would be allowed.
After a week, the emperor signed the decree allowing Deltarian Energy its drilling operations. With support from the Imperial and Crownland police the company has now started construction on three drilling platforms which seek to pump new oil out of the lake, further fueling Deltarian industry. While a steady supply of oil and gas is coming from partners like Kafuristan, the imperial government seeks to have at least some production capacity on its own to further strengthen Deltaria's strategic energy reserves, which have been dwindling in the last few years due to increased energy demands. With the oil in the lake, the imperial government will fill up the reserve while using imported fossil fuels to satisfy daily energy needs. If energy supply falls short for whatever reason, Deltaria can at least use its to be filled reserves to weather a small storm while looking for solutions.
The Imperial and Crownland police are providing security for workers constructing the platforms, while the Imperial Guard has increased its monitoring efforts on the Jelbe border, fearing a potential response by the communist authorities there. It is expected that without major hickups the platforms should be operational within a year, granting Deltarian Energy its first production capacity in decades.
