It was 1961, the gathering of 81 parties had just taken place. At that time there were Soviet expeditions in Albania, about 150 people. I started Petroleum Engineering on September 1, 1956, I did my internship in Marinez.
Enver Hoxha highly valued oil, which he determined very early on. Oil is the blood in the human body, he said. Oil black gold. Hoxha came to us at the Central Laboratory. We ate 2 slices of bread all day, only sometimes with tomatoes and eggs, we left at 5:30 in the morning until 6:30 p.m.
The laboratory was in the service of Nafta, Hoxha saw all the halls starting from gas. After the meeting of 81 parties, the Soviet experts withdrew, the seats remained empty. We were just a handful of experts, we technicians kept the oil. There were several laboratories and a lot of equipment that came to our country for the first time. They told me to sit in front of the camera to talk to Enver.
After coming to me, Enver asked me:
-What do you have with that girl who was in the first laboratory?
I told him that I have a sister! He turns back and says to the others: - You know I found him!
- My sister has passed, Enver Hoxha told me.
- It's bigger, I tell him. I didn't even get the scholarship!
- You have to continue school, Enveri told me.
He said to those who accompanied him:
- Take the boy to school, don't leave him without school.
After that, no one remembered my school. In 1961, my father was 81 years old, while I was 19 years old. My father was 62 years old when I was born. I have taken care of everything about my school myself, parents have only asked me: George, did you learn?
We were 8 children, I am the youngest child. I stayed longer with my parents. My sister could not be interested in me, the teachers found some talents in me. I owe the school to Enver, because in a short time I came to Tirana.
They called me the Minister of the Treasury, because I did the calculations of the oil reserves.
I clashed with Mehmet Shehu about the Cakrani 20 Oil Well.
I was assigned to deal with this place, I already had my place. 2 political-type instructors were interested in Cakrani Well 20, found signs of oil from which the currency was provided. They made wrong interpretations.
They were discussing to stop the well, I opposed them.
If you leave the well here, it will give gas, I said. It must continue because there is oil.
Prokop Murra recaptures the problem and seems to agree that the well should be stopped. I insisted that the well continue for oil, continue down. Then they put a lot of pressure on me.
After a tiring day, the next morning we went to Mehmet Shehu. Mehmet Shehu listened to the first two specialists in geophysics, one dealing with seismic and the other dealing with the geophysics of wells.
Mehmeti ishte inteligjent, e zgjidhi mjaft shpejt situatën në prani të disa specialistëve.
Mehmet Shehu, të parin e pyeti:
-Ku thotë kjo pajisja jote se këtu ka naftë? Specialisti tha që pajisja nuk thotë gjë, por unë kam dëgjuar.
-Pse i tha Mehmet Shehu, me të dëgjuar bëhet kjo punë? -Ik.
Iku ai me bisht ndër shalë. U çua specialisti i dytë, pasi i pyeti nga je etj, Mehmet Shehu i tha:
-Po ti nga e di që atje ka naftë?
-Ne, thotë specialisti me një pajisje me vete, kemi bërë karotazhin e pusit, atje ka nikel dhe vanat. Unë e kam parë naftën në shllam.
Mehmet Shehu më pas i tha:
-Ti je ai që përcakton nëse është naftë ose jo? Ik edhe ti!
Të dy ata që kishin gjetur mbështjetjen e Prokop Murrës ranë.
-Mirë, thotë Mehmet Shehu. Kush është ai që është pro që pusi të thellohet?
Xhaferr Spahiu ministër më thotë: -Gjergji çohu!
Mehmeti ishte i prerë, aty kishte njerëz që dredhonin. Mehmetit i kam kaluar nga pas me letra. Aty ishin Adil Çarçani dhe Pali Miska. Ai mikrofoni i bardhë më dukej si grykë topi, ishin edhe dy gra stenografe. Kam qene 33 vjeç në atë takim, pasi isha edhe kryegjeolog. Nuk dinim ne asgjë se ku do të shkonim. Ishim në zyrë të raskapitur, kur na vjen njoftimi: Në 20:00 të mbrëmjes, çohuni, vishuni, do të shkojmë diku. Prokop Murra ishte sekretar nevrastenik, zëdhënës të kësaj situate ishin edhe dy kolegë.
Kisha edhe një vëlla shumë më të madh se vetja, më i madhi, ai nuk e dinte që unë ekzistoja. Te ai trokita në shtëpi. Vëllezërit u shkëputën shumë herët nga shtëpia, kjo edhe për arsye të luftës. 6 vëllezër edhe dy motra jemi ne. Vëllezërit kishin ikur shumë herët partizan. Një vëllla u shfaq në shtëpi kur unë isha afro 12 vjeç, e shikoja çuditshëm me ato rrobat ushtarake. Nëna kur më lindi ishte 50 vjeçe. Edhe një shok u habit që babai na lindi kur ishte 62 vjeç, nëna 50 vjeçe më lindi mua.
Ballistët e Ali Këlcyrës na dogjën shtëpinë, edhe nëna shpëtoi që nuk u vra. I vunë flakën shtëpisë.
Kisha vëllanë e madh në Tiranë, ai kish qenë partizan. Trokas natën vonë te vëllai, ai e dinte shumë mirë që nafta të hante kokën. Vëllain e kapi ankthi, më mbajti zgjuar deri vonë. Në mëngjes u habitën të gjithë që unë isha atje.
Na kontrolluan nga koka te këmbët kur hymë në Kryeministri.
Mehmet Shehu më pyeti:
-Si e ke emrin ti?
-Gjergji, i them unë.
-Gjergj, më thotë ai.
-Gjergji, i them unë.
Adil Çarçani i tha Mehmetit se jam orthodhoks, jo katolik.
Mehmet Shehu më pyeti prapë:
-Po ti pse je kundër këtyre?
E nisa nga vanati dhe nikeli, nga ata që filluan bisedën. Vanati dhe nikeli janë të lidhur me naftën. I them:
-Ka qenë i mbushur kurthi me naftë deri në krye, gazi e ka çarë naftën dhe e shtyn atë poshtë, por edhe uji nuk e shplan dot naftën që ngjitet në shkëmb.
Mehmet Shehu nxori letër e laps, vizatimin nuk e kisha problem fare. Unë i thashë:
-Këto shenja tregojnë që aty ka naftë, pusin nëse e ndërpresim këtu na jep gaz, ne nuk na duhet gaz. I kam parë të gjitha vëndburimet, ndodh e njëjta proçedurë. Këtë ka treguar pusi fqinj, të njëjtën gjë.
Colleagues were dismissed, did not speak again. One said I heard it, the other said there are nickel valves, I saw the grout. I didn't know if I would come back alive from that encounter.
I defended the idea that the well must be deepened, I made sketches. Mehmet Shehu, at the end of the conversation, shouted:
-Why don't you say that we have the treasure at the end?! Pause, then he walks out the back door.
They all came and hugged me, Adil Çarçani, Pali Miska and others. With that embrace was understood the great party and power anxiety. The councilors made a mess. Pali Miska no longer appeared in front of me.
The treasure is the treasure, that is the oil.
Mehmet Shehu was late. Everyone felt liberated. No one was for me at first. Mehmet Shehu comes and says:
- That boy is right, you from the party should not get involved in this matter, let the well be deepened.
It is said that everything was heard from the offices in front of the boulevard, transmitted to Enver Hoxha. After a week they tell me:
- Go downstairs, the car is waiting for you, you will go to the Fieri Party Committee!
I go to the Fier Party Committee to Naunka Bozgo, First Secretary. The chair moved to her side. I'm watching, Adil Charçani! He reaches out, meets me, hugs me and says:
- I came just for you. Are you 100 percent sure about that well?
- No, I told him.
-Then we want to prove even that 1 percent doubt that you have, said Adil Çarçani.
I undertook to design a well that would meet directly in oil excluding gas. I found a well and moved one of them.
A few days later the phone rang telling me:
- Go to the well that was appropriated. I hit the mark. It worked for me. Petro Dode hugs me. The well I insisted on produced 300 tons of oil in 24 hours.
Eljan Tanini: - You saved yourself, your friends, those who depended on the minister, you also saved Albania
Again Prokop Murra tried to attack me. The frowning Prokop Murra did not say a single good word to me, he asked me about the ladder and why I had lied to Mehmet Shehu! I told him that the shillam is not taken in this case. That's what happened with the whole to escape from the situation, I said what I had argument. Prokop Murra could not stand this fact, it was a shame that the prime minister was dealing with this work. I have collected many materials about Albanian oil which will one day be published.
