Russian scientists have claimed researching a huge oil reservoir under the frozen ice of Antarctica. Russian scientists estimate that 511 billion barrel oils under the Wedel Sea is hidden. The research of this’ black splera “has raised new questions and doubts about the future for Antarctic treaty and energy. Experts say that this could produce a new stir in the orye politics of the research area. According to Newsweek, Russian researchers report that there is about 511 billion barrel oil under the surface of Antarctica. It is more than the world’s largest known existing stockpoint. It doubles ten times higher than the production of the North Sea of North 50 years and oil reserves of Saudi Arabia. These research came to light during Russian scientific campaigns in recent years.
This giant collection of oil is located in the Vedel Sea. This is an area on which UK Antarctica claims part of its regional interest in Antarctica. The area is inside Antarctica’s ‘British part’, which also has their regional claims of Argentina and Chile. In such a situation, this area is a long-political complication. Now Russia’s increasing presence and research of oil seizures have increased it further.
In this complete confusion, the center of this debate is becoming the Antarctic treaty of 1959. This treaty determines the continental scientific scientific research and restricts military activities or exploits of resources. Many countries, including the United States and UK, was prepared this treaty to protect Antarctica from an economic looting. Many experts are viewing Russia’s recent intervention as the exploit of the treaty and research in the name of research.
Russia’s Antarctica has come in time when the research claims are in a time when Moscow is in the bad stages of Moscow with Ukraine war. This conflict has increased the west fears that Moscow can use Antarctica to increase their influence and secure energy supply in the future. China has increased confusely by setting up fifth antitic research bases. The growing partners between Beijing and Moscow is already upsetting the United States and other countries. Many analysts are estimated that Russia and China can challenge the powers that have limited the Antarctica for decades to support their desires.
