In early November 2011 the government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Shell to explore potential natural oil and gas accumulations and develop a data room. According to Shell studies the Dinaridi area have oil especially in the area of Gornja Dreznica. Oil was also spotted near the Posavina enclave (north) and Majevica (northeast).  The findings made by Amoco between 1989 and 1991 showed up a large oil basin located in the area covering the Glamoc and Livno plains, Gornja Dreznica, and the inland area of Neum. In those areas of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, oil is estimated to be at depth ranging from 4,000 m to 8,000 m and could reach up to 500 million tons. In the eastern part of the Federation â near Tuzla - Amoco reported four locations with oil at depth between 1,000 m and 1,300 m which could hold around 70 million tons.     Following Shellâs decision of early October 2015 to put an end to its exploration project in the country, local paper Dnevni Avaz announced that Croatian INA, Australian Key Petroleum, French Total and British Spectrum had sent letters of intent to the Federation between late October 2015 and mid-February 2016.
