Ceelasha Batrool ka Laga Baaray ee Xeebaha Banaadir,
Maxaa Lagu Arkay?
Abdulkadir Abiikar; London-
moolkaal@aol.com
Qormadaan (oo dhammaanteed soo gaabin ah), waxaan soo
qaadanaa oo kali ah Xeebta Banaadir oo aan ula jeedo sida loo yaqiinay
Waayahii Sayid Barqash ee Cumaaniyiinta Reer Zanzibaar ay xukumi jireen
Xeebta Banaadir. Waa Talyaaniga ka hor. Xeebta Banaadir waxaa la oran
jiray min Adale ilaa Xeebta Xamar, Marka, Baraawe, Kismayo iyo Ras
Kiyambooni. Aaggaan hadda aan tilmaamay waxuu dhinaca kale ka mid yahay
6 ama 8 deeda meelood oo lagu tuhmo inuu fadhiyo (dhasheegyo dhulka
gudahiisa ah) batrool ama gaas.
Dhasheeg yada dhagax-lakabeed (sedimentary basins) oo
lag yaabo inay batroolka iyo gaaska yeeshaaan waxay kala yihiin:
- Xeebta Banaadir min Adale ilaa Ras Kiyamboni
- Dhasheegga Luuq-Mandhera (Luq - Mandhera basin:
near Somali-Ethiopian-Kenyan border.)
- Dhasheegga gobollada dhexe ee Galmudug illaa
Garacad iyo Ayl
- Dhul Saraha Nugaal min Holhol (Sool, Sanaag
illaa Nugaal [Ayl])
- Xeebta Zaylac – Bixindule ee Waqooyiga Somalia
(Gacanka Cadmeed)
- The Aal-Madow /Dharoor and Sagaleh Basin
Qeexid Joolojiyeed: Dhulkaan badan kiisa wuxuu
dhacaa bariga ama koofur bari ee Dhagax-Saleed ka Buur (Buur Crystalline
Basement). Waxayna ka kooban tahay degmooyinkaan: Adale, Warsheikh,
Muqdisho, Afgoye, Marka, Baraawa, Jilib, Jammaama, Kismayo, Bula Xaaji,
Kudha, Hoola Wajeer, Badhaadhe, Buur Gaabo, Maanaraani iyo Ras
Kiyamboni.

Ceelasha batroolka maxaa lagala kulmay?
Ceelka Sinclair Marka 1 waxaa lagala kulmay gaas
cadaadin fiican leh, ka dib markii la soo dhex qoday dhagax sandstone ah
oo da’ diisu tahay Eocene. Gaas ka waxaa la gaaray meel u dhexaysa 2,703
– 2,705 m iyo mar kale inta u dhexaysa 2,395 – 2,397 m; waxaana la
socday biyo cusbaysan oo biir ah. Sidoo kale, ceelka SinclairAfgoye 1 oo
Marka 1 waqooyigiisa ku yaalla, waxaa lagala kulmay tusmooyin gaas ah.
Sannad kii 1999 Shirkadda Canadian ka ah oo lagu
magacaabo Al Consult International waxay daraasaad ay maalgelisay
Canadian International Development Agency [CIDA] waxay daraasaad
dib-ujaleecid ah ku baartay ceelashii laga qoday Xeebaha Koofureed ee
Banaadir. Shirkaad waxay soo bandhigtay in Xeebta Banaadir ay leedahay
gaas dabiici ah dhinaca xeebta; haddii loo sii baxo dhinaca badda laga
yaabo in batrool la gaari lahaa.
Sidaas oo kalena waxaa qaba Dr. Bill St. John oo ahaa
Maareeyihii Shirkadda Hunt ee Yaman, Ethiopia iyo Niger. Hadda baaris ka
sameeyay batroolka Madagascar iyo Kenya.
Gabagabo:
Xeebaha Koofureed ee Banaadir waxay lee yihiin gaaska
dabiici ah dhinaca dhulka; lagna yaabee inay laga helo batrool haddii
dhanka badda la qodo (offshore drilling).
