There are pigs, cassowaries and dogs, no cars but dugout canoes on the lake, with people fishing and traveling to the nearest village, and the constant sound of the crash of the breakers from the lake.
This is Harabiyu village located near Lake Kutubu, Southern Highlands of Papua New Guinea. It is also the focus of the Kutubu oil project, PNG’s first commercial oil field development.
Oil was first discovered here in 1986 with commercial production in June 1992.
