German term or phrase: Elefantenfeld
This is all about natural gas reserves. "Neben Russland und Iran verfügt nur noch Qatar über ein sogenanntes *Elefantenfeld*". NEVER heard of this. Any help would be enormously appreciated.

Sorry, that should be Elephant Field, as it is a proper name:

The Elephant Field, so called not because of its size, but after a petroglyph near the discovery well, contains 560 million barrels of oil reserves and is planned to produce 150 000 barrels/day from some 30 producing wells supported by 20 water injection wells as necessary (1 barrel = 159 l). The consumers, the oil companies and the Libyan government need to put these figures into perspective. Neither the oil companies nor governments use the oil, it is the public which uses oil and gas, the energy generated from them, and the chemical products manufactured from these hydrocarbons. The oil companies are our 'agents' for the production and the governments set the rules.
If we compare the anticipated rate of 150 000 barrels/day with the world production of 77 - 78 million barrels/day the consumers would hardly notice any effect if the Elephant field were not developed.
