PMB: You have been and this has been a great surprise to me, that your company became a partner involved in the oil sands back in the 1970s, ’78 or something like that. No other country outside of North America and Europe showed any interest in the oil sands that long ago. Can you tell me a little bit about that, please? HIRATA: Okay. It started with oil shock in 1973. As you know, the oil price suddenly increased probably three or four times at that time because OPEC countries, they stopped exporting oil to the world. PMB: This was because of the Oil Embargo related to the Israeli/Arab War? HIRATA: Arab, yes.
