A 2000-2005 expedition found that there are small oil deposits in the DR, and now a team of Dominican and Spanish investigators is taking the search for oil in the DR a step forward. Yesterday, a crew lead by Andres Carbo began exploring possible underwater points that could contain oil. The crew is traveling on the "Hesperides," owned by the Spanish government. Carbo says that the first series of searches only included small areas, but this latest attempt at discovering oil will include larger areas, including the northern and southern parts of the DR. Carbo says that this search will conclude on 25 April, but the overall project will last two years. According to Carbo the current series of investigations will only produce marine images of specific areas that could contain petroleum for subsequent searches.
