region, 190 million years ago," he
says.
Deputy Oil Commissioner, Avi
Honigstein, himself observant, corn-
ments that Luskin "wouldn't put his
money on a prospect that is only
known by the Bible. He is looking for
the hard stuff He's a geophysicist,
working on a scientific basis, and if he
finds some biblical verses that assist in
his prospect, that may be helpful.
But I don't think that is the main
reason."
As a matter of fact, there have been
others before Luskin who were
inspired by the Bible to search for oil
here. In the '70s and '80s, companies
owned by American fundamentalist
Christians drilled exploratory wells in '-
Israel at sites based on that same chap-
ter in Deuteronomy, but in a later
verse, which refers to the inheritance
of the tribe of Asher: "...Let him be
acceptable to his brethren and let him
dip his foot in oil."
On the basis of that citation, but
backed by no geological evidence, the
companies drilled wells in the area of
Atlit, north of Caesarea, but came up
with nothing.
The tiny quantity of oil found in
the Rosh Ha'ayin test well is very dif-
ferent from that found in southern
Israel. Independent petroleum evalua-
tors have confirmed that the substance
chemically matches oil from Syria and
other parts of the large Middle Eastern
reservoir. Luskin believes his next
drilling will hit the heart of a huge oil
accumulation, part of the pool that
has provided Saudi Arabia and others
with oil riches.
But not everyone in the oil industry
is convinced that there are billions of
barrels just waiting to be extracted.
One American oil company geologist
was quoted recently in the Wall Street
Journal as saying Luskin's claims,
"While not completely unreasonable,
do involve a major leap of faith." An
apt phrase, considering Luskin's origi-
nal inspiration.
The president of the American
Society of Petroleum Evaluation
Engineers, Forrest Garb, says all oil
explorations are acts of faith. Garb,
whose Texas-based firm carried out an
independent analysis of the drill site, -N.,
gives the project a cautiously hopeful
one-in-eight chance.
Luskin and his two partners, Noga
Ben-David and Shmuel Becker, are
now trying to raise money for a new
well. In October, the company man-
aged to raise some on the Tel Aviv
Stock Exchange, but it is far short of
