Kuwait pumps too much oil much too soon

Article Abstract:

Since the Gulf War ended Kuwait has over-pumped 20% of its oilfields and allowed water penetration because it hurried to resume production. Sabotage destroyed reservoir pressure controls so closure and analysis for a year would have been prudent. Kuwait oilfields lie above a salt water aquiver and a pressure loss makes water seep into the oilfield at random. Economists believe the government needed to regain the 12 billion pounds sterling, 22 billion $, paid to the allies in the war. Mr Homoud al-Rqobah, Oil Minister, would not permit Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) to reduce production in March 1992. One million barrels are produced a day.

Coming soon: the big tease

Article Abstract:

Film trailers have always attracted more attention than other forms of advertising, but have recently begun to take on cult status. Today's trailers are very short compared with their predecessors, but are full of action and excitement. Indeed, they have almost become mini films in their own right. They are subjected to very reductive editing, and this makes them the most pure expression of the genre. Some trailers even outclass the feature films they are supposed to be advertising.
