#1 From a 2013 report:
Yemen is a minor oil and gas producer whose reserves are in decline, and will remain so unless
major new discoveries are made. Until recently the hydrocarbon sector and the revenues
it has generated have been used to extend the personal power of President Salih and have
not led to tangible economic development.
