Australia-based oil company Jacka Resources, Ltd. will also work with Petrosoma, Ltd., based in the United Kingdom, to begin aerial exploration at the end of October and will photograph 10,000 square miles, said Petrosoma's information officer in Hargeisa Mohamed Elmi Abdalle.

Abdalle told Sabahi they will transition to ground exploration in January, with the initial phase of the project costing $10 million.

Said Mohamed Elmi, chairman of the parliamentary sub-committee on environment and natural resources, told Sabahi that a bill on Somaliland oil exploration will be presented to parliament in December.
