we have enuff of oil in Kirdistan, with our pipelines operational by the end of the year, with Kirkuk plus the other 3 province's oil we have more than enuff to feed the other parts of Kurdistan as well. |

Ek has oil in kermanshan and lots of minerals other Kurdish cities. So much gold mining in E.Kurdistan. They do 5 tons of gold mining a year, but nobody knew there was oil in south kurdistan they probably don't want Kurds to know about it. |

Purearch is right.There is oil and lots of other natural resources in EK. The Iranian regime found 12 tons of gold (in 2011 or 2012). EK also provides a large percentage of water to the rest of Iran and have a huge agricultural potential. Btw,did you know that EK is considered one of the richest regions (in term of natural resources) in Iran? Sadly,because of the mullah regime,EK still remains one of the least developed regions in iran? Those monkeys in power steal our resources,and invest them in other places. I can`t wait for EK to be free from them. Insallah it will happen soon. |

Oil unites Kurdistan and Turkey![]() Once at loggerheads, now best friends A natural gas pipeline is being built that will transport at least 10 billion cubic meters of gas annually to Turkey in return for refined oil products to Kurdistan. In a major move to bring Kurdistan and Turkey closer, a natural gas pipeline is being built, which will transport at least 10 billion cubic meters of gas annually. This is approximately over fifth of Turkey's current consumption. Turkish officials have refused to publicly confirm the project that threatens to aggravate a dispute between Baghdad and the autonomous South Kurdistan over energy resources. US officials are concerned that Turkey's strained ties with Baghdad could have implications for the rest of the region. Turkey is defying Washington and Baghdad in developing a broad energy partnership with i-racki Kurds as it pushes to secure affordable oil and gas supplies to fuel its rapid economic growth. Turkey is pushing ahead with plans to extend economic cooperation with i-rack's South Kurdistan, brushing aside warnings from the United States that this approach could lead to the disintegration of the i-racki state. i-rack's Kurdistan region has become so important to Turkey, economically and politically, that Ankara is willing to risk tensions with the US, its most important ally, said Celalettin Yavuz, an analyst at a think tank in the Turkish capital. Taner Yildiz, Turkey's energy minister announced to the Turkish media that oil imports from KRG to Turkey by truck had resumed after a pause of several weeks for technical reasons. He said Turkey was determined to sell refined-oil products to South Kurdistan, the state-run Amnadolu news agency reported. Oil exports from KRG to Turkey have angered the central-Iraqi government. It said the trade was illegal, which Ankara denies. Yildiz stressed that Turkey was also buying oil from southern i-rack because doing otherwise would be "discrimination". The Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) announced last week its plans to press ahead with building an oil-export pipeline to Turkey. "We want to have an oil pipeline to ourselves," said Ashti Hawrami, the i-racki Kurdish minister for natural resources. Crude from the South Kurdistan used to be shipped to world markets through a Baghdad-controlled pipeline to Turkey, but exports via that channel dried up in December, from a peak of around 200,000 barrels per day (bpd), due to a row with Baghdad over payments. Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the Turkish prime minister, said his country was not obliged to wait for a new agreement between the central i-racki government and the KRG over oil exploration and export rights, even though Washington wanted Ankara to be cautious. "Our economic relations are getting broader, despite everything, including America," Erdogan said last week, referring to the KRG. Erdogan, who has been careful to develop close relations with the US, freely acknowledged tensions with Washington over the issue. Analysts say the move could also establish the country as a regional energy hub, but risks aggravating tensions in the powder keg region and damaging ties with the United States, its major ally. Ankara had initially refused to engage in official contacts with i-racki Kurds, fearing that the establishment of an independent Kurdish state there could embolden its own Kurds, some of whom have waged a nearly three-decade insurgency. But as Turkey's economy has boomed - it grew by more than 8.0 percent in 2010 and 2011 - and its thirst for energy has grown, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has moved gradually to forge trade ties with i-racki Kurds. The burgeoning energy ties are raising eyebrows in Washington, where there are concerns that they could tip the volatile country towards disintegration and push an increasingly isolated Baghdad into Iran's embrace. "Economic success can help pull i-rack together," US Ambassador to Turkey Francis Ricciardone said earlier this month. But "if Turkey and i-rack fail to optimize their economic relations ... there could be more violent conflict in i-rack and the forces of disintegration within i-rack could be emboldened," he warned. "... and that would not be good for Turkey, the United States, or anybody in the region." Turkey has already ruffled Washington's feathers by continuing to import Iranian (oil and gas) despite US efforts to isolate Tehran over its alleged nuclear weapons drive. But Ankara has remained defiant, supporting South Kurdistan's right to use part of its energy resources as it sees fit. Erdogan said the regional Kurdish government "is free to use this right with whichever country it wants and we are their neighbor." Analysts say energy-hungry Turkey's dependence on expensive energy imports from Iran and Russia are pushing it to find cheaper sources, and Kurdistan appears to be the best provider. "i-racki sources are the cheapest and it is a way for Turkey to diminish its energy dependence," Mete Goknel, former director of Turkey's state-owned pipeline company Botas, said to the Arab news online news service. According to the US Energy Information Administration, Turkey has been importing about half of its crude oil from Iran, although this is likely to fall given international sanctions on Tehran. In 2011 Turkey was importing nearly 60 percent of its natural gas from Iran, with a fifth coming from Russia. "Turkey depends on Russia and Iran on energy and if both countries close the tap, the Turkish economy will tank," said an energy expert who asked to remain anonymous. This imported energy has been responsible for a large part of Turkey's trade deficit, which threatens to crimp expansion. Goknel said i-rack would also benefit from Turkey becoming a regional energy hub. "It would be more advantageous for i-rack to ship its gas to western markets through Turkey versus the more expensive shipping lane, the strait of Hormuz," he said. A decision is expected within months on the route of a separate pipeline to ship natural gas from Azerbaijan via Turkey to Western Europe. However, Baghdad appears intent on dashing Ankara's designs to become a regional energy hub, blocking Turkish efforts to step up their presence in South Kurdistan. In November, Baghdad blocked Turkish national energy firm TPAO from bidding for an oil exploration contract, a decision which Erdogan said was not "smart business. Later on in December, Baghdad barred a plane carrying Turkish Energy Minister Taner Yildiz from landing in Hewlêr as he was reportedly on his way to seal the much-speculated energy deal. A Baghdad-controlled oil pipeline that goes to Turkey operates well below its capacity to transport 70.9 million tons per year. Sunni-majority Turkey is also at loggerheads with the i-racki government of Shiite Prime Minister Nuri Al-Maliki over a number of issues including Ankara's refusal to extradite fugitive Vice President Tareq Al-Hashemi. Despite the difficulties, Turkish trade with i-rack has grown rapidly, from $ 2.8 billion in 2007 to $ 10.7 billion last year. i-rack is now Turkey's number two trade partner following Germany, with most of its trade being from the Kurdistan region. More than 1,000 Turkish companies are currently operating in KRG, and they are optimistic i-rack could become Turkey's top trade partner as soon as this year. More significantly peace with the Kurdish rebels in Northern Kurdistan would likely further increase the attractiveness of i-racki Kurdish energy resources for Turkey, say analysts.

The coward maliki didnt have the balls to cut the bugdet. I was hoping they would. Sure its bad in short run but after two years our production will hit 1m . No need for ungrateful i-racki money when we have 45 billion barrels. Our greedy neiugbour will compete to export kurdish oil. All this american talks is just to save their puppet maliki the shoesalesman from damascus. The americans want the puppet to buy arms so we find ourselves in yet another war. |

i-rack official fears split as Kurdish-Turkey oil trade grows [19/03/13] Top security official: direct trade "like dividing i-rack" * Kurds push on with own oil pipeline * Turkey trade links grow with South Kurdistan LONDON, March 19 (Reuters) - Rising oil trade between South Kurdistan and Turkey threatens to split i-rack in two, a senior i-racki official said, as the autonomous region ignores Baghdad's threats of tough action against what it terms illegal exports. Oil lies at the heart of a long-running feud between the central government and the autonomous Kurdistan region. Baghdad says it alone has the authority to control exports and sign contracts, while the Kurds say their right to do so is enshrined in i-rack's federal constitution. "If oil from Kurdistan goes through Turkey directly, that will be like dividing i-rack. This is our big concern," i-rack's Deputy National Security Adviser Safa al-Sheikh Hussein said on the sidelines of an i-rack conference. The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) started on the path towards economic independence early this year by exporting small volumes of crude oil by truck to Turkey. The move further angered Baghdad, which threatened action against the region and foreign oil companies working there to stop the exports, which it says are illegal. KRG crude used to be shipped to world markets through a Baghdad-controlled pipeline running from Kirkuk to the Turkish port of Ceyhan, but exports via that channel dried up in December due to a payment row with Baghdad. The northern region is now pushing ahead with plans to build its own oil export pipeline to Turkey, despite objections from the United States, which fears the project could lead to the break-up of i-rack. KRG Energy Minister Ashti Hawrami has said a gas pipeline now being laid can be converted to ship up to 300,000 barrels per day of crude by June. "Kurdistan is almost independent and they want more gains now," said Hussein, deputy of the National Security Council, created in 2004 as a forum for security decision-making. "They are a little over-confident and overly ambitious." TURKEY LINKS For its part, energy-hungry Turkey has increasingly courted i-racki Kurds as relations with the Shi'ite-led central government in Baghdad have soured and it now ranks as a major trading partner for the autonomous region. A broad energy partnership between Turkey and South Kurdistan ranging from exploration to export has been in the works since last year. Though steadily developing more energy autonomy, the region still relies on the central government for a share of the national budget from oil revenues. "There's a lot of tension with the Kurds," said Hussein. "I don't think it can be resolved this year, but maybe we can contain it." Kurdistan's exploration contracts with oil majors like Exxon Mobil and Chevron are a further source of friction that have prompted Baghdad repeatedly to warn companies they risk losing their assets in the south of the country. Exxon has been weighing whether to sell out of the giant, southern West Qurna-1 oilfield, but industry sources say i-rack's Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki offered the company substantially improved terms in January to keep it at the $50 billion project. Since then, i-racki and Kurdish officials have both suggested Exxon will side with them. Hussein said that if Exxon were to start to drill in territories disputed with Kurdistan, "there will be a legal response ... to end all (of Exxon's) work in the rest of i-rack." "We are determined to resolve our problems peacefully, but this can influence the integrity of i-rack," he said. Officials from Exxon and South Kurdistan last month visited the Qara Hansher oil exploration block that lies in disputed territories where both regions claim jurisdiction and discussed building a camp there. And industry sources said the U.S. major has drilled three water wells at the al-Qush block, also in the disputed zone, in preparation to start drilling by early June. The oil dispute has been accompanied by an increase in military tension between the two regions. Last year, i-racki national army and Kurdish Peshmerga forces both sent troops to reinforce their rival positions around towns dotted along the disputed territories, including the sensitive ethnically mixed town of Kirkuk. "Neither side wants to end this militarily," said Hussein, a former Brigadier General in i-rack's Air Force. http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/03/19/iraq-kurdistan-energy-idUSL6N0CBBPE20130319 |

Exxon is well in Qara Hanjir and Al Qush which are both Kurdish district, the min KRG signed the 6 contracts with Exxon milki knew it was game over even the so called dijla militia he created and sent to Hawija backed fired on him and made him lose his ground as now we have Peshmerga in 7 Kurdish districts of Kirkuk vs the only 1 we had priory to him sending dijla thugs with its Baathist leader. these areas are no longer a dispute town the only place that remains disputed on the ground in SK is the city of kirkuk itself the 7 Kurdish districts as well as other kurdish districts like Khanaqin sinjar Duz Khurmatu Shaikan are now directly run by KRG. Kirkuk city is controlled by Kurds but not KRG entirely I'd say 50/50.

US$ 1 billion Invested in Dana Gas and Crescent Petroleum Kurdistan Operations [17:51] 13/Mar/19 PNA - Dana Gas PJSC, the Middle East's leading private-sector natural gas company, and Crescent Petroleum, the Middle East's oldest private oil and gas company, in their capacity as joint operators, have announced that the total investment on behalf of the partners in gas operations in the autonomous South Kurdistan KRG has exceeded US$1 billion. Total cumulative petroleum production from inception to date has now reached 79 million barrels of oil equivalent from continuous production from the Kor Mor field for the past four and a half years, making it the largest investment and highest level of cumulative production achieved by private companies in oil and gas sector. Daily production reached a peak rate of 88,000 barrels oil equivalent per day (boepd), averaging 80,000 boepd, which includes 340 million cubic feet of gas per day and 15,000 barrels per day of condensate liquids. Total investment by the partners until end of February 2013 stood at $1,004 million, since entering into agreements with the Kurdistan Regional Government for the Kor Mor and Chemchemal blocks in April 2007, and there are plans for further expansion in investment and production levels, under discussion with the Ministry of Natural Resources. In total, more than 375 billion cubic feet of gas and 16.5 million barrels of condensate and liquids have been produced by the companies since the start of production in October 2008, with the gas supply to local power stations enabling 1,750 MW of new electricity generation for the South Kurdistan. This has ensured almost continuous power supply for 4 million people in the South Kurdistan, in contrast to the electricity crisis in other parts of Iraq, and provided $9.1bn of savings in fuel costs for the government, with annual savings of $3.3bn going forward and major environmental benefits in cutting greenhouse gas emissions while transforming and energizing the economic and social development of the entire region at the same time. "As regional companies who pride ourselves on moving quickly to address local needs, Dana Gas and Crescent Petroleum are proud to have delivered these important results, which are also a testament to the policies of encouraging private investment and local development that have been applied in Kurdistan," said Mr. Majid Jafar, CEO of Crescent Petroleum and Member of the Board of Dana Gas . "In addition we are receiving more regular payments for our products, and are working with the KRG to resolve the outstanding receivables as soon as possible." Marking the important investment milestone, Mr. Rashid Al-Jarwan, Executive Director and Acting CEO of Dana Gas , said: "We thank the KRG for their cooperation and support in achieving this milestone, as well as our partners, contractors and all of our staff. We are working with the KRG Ministry of Natural Resources on the next phase of development and expansion, and look forward to growing our operations and investment to enable further progress and prosperity for the local community." During the project's construction phase, work opportunities were provided for over 2,000 Iraqi workers from all ethnic groups and sects, supported by expatriate workers from over 20 nationalities in the region and worldwide. Currently employing 460 full-time employees in the South Kurdistan, the companies have successfully implemented a nationalization programme, already achieving over 80% local staff ratio in their operations while implementing a major training programme. The many notable technical achievements of the project include: achieving first gas in a record time of only 15 months, the installation of a 180km gas pipeline across challenging mountainous terrain that required the clearing of minefields; installation of new gas processing plantdrilling successfully to tertiary reservoir formations at depths of 2,300 meters, importing and installing over 64,000 tonnes of equipment in over 3,500 truck-loads, with pipe material supplied from China and Thailand, and the state-of-the-art gas processing plant imported from the USA. Crescent Petroleum and Dana Gas have also implemented a corporate social responsibility programme to support the local communities, including providing school supplies, drinking water treatment, generators and fuel enabling 24 hour electricity for the local villages, mobile medical units, and youth sports facilities. These initiatives are assisting the local communities in improving their standard of living, health, well-being, security and stability and the development of human capital in the South Kurdistan. |

kinematic - I am British actually. I first invested in Kurdistan in April 2009 and have watched it prosper enormously when compared to the south. They really have taken control of their oil and gas assets and are going to become a major player. Good luck to them - they have suffered enough over the years. Thanks for the link. |

Autonomous South Kurdistan: We Can Be Reliable Energy Source for Europe “But we need to think about finding a way to get that oil and gas to the world market,” Photo: AP Hewlêr , South Kurdistan – South Kurdistan can become a reliable source of energy for Europe, the autonomous enclave’s Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani said in a meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. “The Kurdish government and i-rack can play together an important part in providing energy for Turkey, Germany and other European countries,” said Barzani, who met with Merkel at the Global Conference for Energy Security in Berlin. “Exploration for oil in Kurdistan is continuing,” Barzani said in a speech at the conference. “But we need to think about finding a way to get that oil and gas to the world market,” he added. The Kurds, who gained autonomy after the 2003 US-led invasion that toppled i-rack’s dictator Saddam Hussein, are locked in a serious row with the Arab-led central government in Baghdad over oil exploration and exports. The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) has signed several oil exploration deals with foreign companies, which Baghdad refuses to recognize, saying only the central government is empowered to enter such agreements. On the same grounds, Baghdad also opposes oil export agreements signed by the enclave, which is keen to supply energy-hungry Turkey, and get to international markets through its northwestern neighbor. In his speech, Barzani said that Kurdish oil and gas is also in need of a better way of reaching global markets. “The amount of untapped oil and gas discovered since 2007 can become a future source of energy for Europe,” Barzani said. “By finishing the construction of an oil pipeline in 2019, the region can export more than three million barrels of oil daily, which means an increase in oil revenue,” the premier noted, adding that an improvement in economy would contribute to national stability. He also told German officials that his government is working to solve its disputes with Baghdad “through dialogue and adherence to constitution.” Another one of the KRG’s disputes with Baghdad is over disputed energy-rich regions, such as Kirkuk, which is claimed by both sides. |

Kinematic....GKP, yup. Started investing pre SH-1 spud and have followed the progress ever since. It is just the start of one of the world's greatest oil fields; the Greater Shaikan. 100bn barrels in GKP's 4 blocks? I am sure Atrush runs into AkriBijell block. The development of the Greater Shiaken block is one of the world's greatest engineering challenges and only fit for the supermajors or some consortium of them. I wonder if PArella Weinberg have anything to do with putting this development strategy together. Too big for little old GKP though LOL Good things at Atrush too I believe! |
