S Korea to invest KRW 19tn in overseas oilfields and energy firms. According to the Korea Herald , the Ministry of Knowledge Economy announced recently that the state-owned Korea National Oil Corp (KNOC) would invest KRW 19tn in oilfields and energy firms overseas to increase its daily output from 50,000 to 300,000 barrels. The S Korean government's share in the investment would be KRW 4.1tn and the balance would come from the KNOC and private investors.
