Original review summary

The review says Saada was never a site of oil exploration in Yemen and that Total’s first presence in Yemen was in Shabwa in 1987, seven years after the alleged discovery. It also says the claimed field’s area exceeds Saada’s entire area: the review gives Saada’s area as 4,392 square miles, compared with the claim of 6,000 square miles.[S1]
