"Have there been any new oil field discoveries in the Northern Territory these past few years?" Perfikot, having returned to the Lord's Manor, summoned officials from the relevant departments to inquire about this.
"Are you referring to oil? Although we've dispatched exploration teams over the years to find new oil fields, we've only discovered a few small ones. Large-scale oil lakes like those in Death Valley are rare." The officials didn't understand what Perfikot wanted to know and simply relayed the situation as they understood it.
Perfikot wasn't surprised by this; she nodded and continued to ask, "Is the demand for the oil industry in the Northern Territory strong now?"
"Overall, there's an upward trend, but the main growth is concentrated in lubricants and chemical fibers, while fuel demand has decreased." The officials reported the relevant information and specific numbers to Perfikot, causing her to furrow her brow.
