Publications featuring issues" on oil consistently overlook one of the w orld's richest petroleum areas: Indonesia's offshore deposits. As It turns out, here has been a good reason fo r the omission, according to reporter Joachim Joesten, of Z u rich ’ s respected Die Weltwoche. In fact there Is already so much Intrigue at tached to these oil deposits, that Joesten, fo r one, doesn't think it ’ s going too fa r to Include them as factors In the Indochina War. Is the U £ . engagement In Southeast Asia s tric tly ideolo gical? An answer to that ques tion may be suggested by recent discoveries, purposely played down, of gigantic oil reserves in the waters of Indonesia. A m e ri can scientists have come upon a lake of oil 4,000 m iles long and 300 m iles wide, stretching under the surface of the sea Indonesia all way down to the northern Australian coast. The offshore deposits alone in this region are estimated by experts as to uting three times all other offshore deposits in the w orld. It should be noted in this context that since 1960Indone sia has laid claim to a 12-m ile- wide offshore area around its islands, enormous bycom pa ri son with the usual three - m ile lim it respected by many other countries. The then President Sukarno turned huge water sur faces, previously regarded as part of the high seas into Indonesian lakes by decree. Actualy, neither the conces sion - hungry prospectors nor the bordering nations-Indonesia Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, South Vietnam -care much of a hoot about how fa r, in term s of international law, the sampling and d rillin g extends out into the sea.
