The report, All that Gas? represents an innovative collaboration between Global Witness and cutting-edge satirical cartoonist, David Rees, who has produced original artwork for the publication.
His seven new cartoons feature EU bureaucrats discussing crude strategies to ‘get the gas’.
Rees is best-known for his US cartoon series ‘Get Your War On’, published on the internet and in Rolling Stone magazine.
All That Gas? was launched on the eve of the 2009 oil and gas conference in Ashgabat, the Turkmen capital.
