US President Donald Trump’s drill, baby drill had become famous in America, but his recent statement sparked a new debate in Pakistan. Trump had claimed that Pakistan has huge marine oil reserves. After this, activity suddenly increased in Pakistan’s politics, army and energy institutions. The effect of this was that the government under the leadership of Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and Army Chief General Asim Munir has decided to build an artificial island in the Arabian Sea. This island will be about 30 kilometers away from Sujawal area of ​​Sindh, while its distance from Karachi is said to be about 130 kilometers.

According to Bloomberg report, the purpose of island construction is to continue sea drilling 24 hours a day. This platform is being made about 6 feet high to ensure safety from high sea tides. Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PPL) is operating this project. The organization says that the construction of the island will be completed by February next year, after which the work of 25 new drilling wells will be started immediately. This is being considered a big technological step for Pakistan, because till now artificial island technology has been used mostly by developed countries like Gulf countries, China and Japan.

‘Kekra-1’ discovery of 2019

About 5 years ago, Pakistan had invested heavily in a well named ‘Kekra-1’ near Karachi. At that time, world class companies like Exxon Mobil, Shell, Total Energies and Kuwait Petroleum were also involved in this project, but even after drilling deep, no sign of oil was found and in the end only sea water was found. After this, most foreign companies distanced themselves from Pakistan’s exploration plans, as they believed that the amount of potential oil reserves may be too small compared to the risk and cost.

Did Trump’s statement affect the project?

Energy sector experts believe that Pakistan is starting this project without in-depth scientific study. They feel that the government and the military gave too much importance to Trump’s comments, even though there is no scientific data available to support this claim. At a time when the country is dependent on IMF loans and struggling economically, a multi-billion rupee marine drilling project raises many questions.

What will happen if oil is not found?

Failure of this project can put huge pressure on Pakistan’s economy. Foreign investors are already exercising caution and such risky efforts could further worsen the investment climate. The ongoing loan program with the IMF may also be negatively impacted and the country’s political and military credibility is expected to be damaged. According to experts, if this project fails then it can prove to be a serious economic blow for Pakistan.

According to the National Center for Seismology (NCS), an earthquake of 6.0 magnitude was recorded in the Coral Sea early on Sunday. This earthquake was felt at 4:58 am (IST) on 26 October 2025. The epicenter of the earthquake was located about 632 kilometers north-northwest (NNW) of Port Vila, the capital of Vanuatu.

The depth of the earthquake was only 10 kilometers, so the tremors were quite strong. However, no information about any loss of life or damage has been received so far. The local administration is taking precautionary measures and the area is being monitored.

Why are upper earthquakes considered more dangerous?

According to geology experts, when earthquake waves originate very close to the surface, they cause more vibrations in a shorter distance. Due to this, the intensity of tremors on the ground increases, buildings and structures shake rapidly and the possibility of loss of life and property increases. This time the matter of relief was that the earthquake occurred under the sea, due to which its impact on the populated areas was limited.

Pacific Ocean Seismic Hotspot

The region of the Coral Sea, Vanuatu, and the Solomon Islands is among the Earth’s most active seismic belts. This area is located between the Pacific Plate and the Indo-Australian Plate. According to scientists, there exists a subduction zone here, where the Indo-Australian plate is sliding beneath the Pacific plate. This process creates continuous seismic stress, which periodically comes out in the form of major earthquakes. According to experts, the Australian continent is moving towards the north-east at the rate of about 6 centimeters per year, while in some places this speed reaches 13 centimeters per year. This is why Vanuatu, Fiji, Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea are considered the most active parts of the global seismic belt.

The tragedy of 2024 is still remembered

The 7.3 magnitude earthquake that struck Vanuatu in December 2024 caused massive devastation in the region. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) report, 14 people died in that accident. More than 2,000 people were left homeless and many hospitals and schools were destroyed. Since then, Vanuatu and Solomon Islands have further strengthened their Disaster Preparedness System, so that they can better face future disasters.

There is no danger of tsunami but vigilance continues

According to the International Seismological Center (ISC), this shock did occur in the sea, but its intensity and depth were not enough to cause a tsunami. Nevertheless, Vanuatu and Solomon Islands disaster management agencies (NDMOs) are monitoring possible aftershocks.

Rescuers brought the butterfly back to life

Let us tell you that this incident took place at Sweetbriar Nature Center located in Long Island, America. Rescuers there found an injured monarch butterfly. It can be seen in the video that one wing of the butterfly is completely broken, due to which it is not able to fly properly. Also, its chances of survival were negligible, but the rescuers gave Titli a chance to live again.
