CANADIAN COMPANY TO CLEAN UP ALBANIAN OILFIELD

BY KEITH NUTHALL

CANADIAN oil company Bankers Petroleum Ltd will help clean up southern Albania's polluted Patos Marinza oilfield, after the World Bank's International Finance Corporation (IFC) lent the firm US$50 million to help expand its holdings. Bankers' work will be assisted by an additional IFC US$5 million special purpose environmental works loan for reducing contamination and pollution.
