Source please, I work international oil and gas with experience in Africa and the Middle East and have not heard or seen this. In fact, given the technical requirements of drilling wells it is hard to believe slave/child labor would be utilized. We usually end up bringing in foreign workers (Syria, China, etc.) because the local population does not have the technical skills to pull off drilling or operate the assets.
