Our transcription: In one recent investigation of the potential oil and gas reserves of Pakistan, 28 separate images were combined to form a mosaic which showed numerous spectacular geometric structures.
Because of their remoteness, many had not been seen by ground-based geologists.
This opened up new areas for oil and gas exploration.
