Documentation of Oil Industry in Albania

The three main areas of Albania oil production (Ballsh, Marinez, Kucove) are now almost derelict. The seldom attended refineries have leaks which are polluting the land and the drinking water. Workers and farmers are becoming ill. The land, drinking water and the people are polluted. Petrol is hard to buy.
