WesternZagros Starts Garmian Drilling By John Lee. WesternZagros Resources has announced that it has started its latest Garmian Block drilling program in the South Kurdistan (KRG). The Mil Qasim Upper Bakhtiari-1 well was spudded on May 19, 2013. This is the first of a planned three-well program to test the potential of the shallow Upper Bakhtiari Formation. With the two deeper Hasira-1 and Baram-1 well included, this is also the first of the Company’s five well Garmian drilling program planned for 2013. Simon Hatfield (pictured), CEO of WesternZagros commented: “Spudding this well is a key step in testing the Upper Bakhtiari Formation, a new reservoir which exhibited oil shows when we drilled the Mil Qasim-1 well in 2011/2012. Subsequent review of logs and seismic data identified a relatively shallow, low-cost prospect. “We are also on track with our higher impact Garmian wells: at Hasira-1 the rig is being assembled for spudding in the next few weeks; and at Baram-1 the site construction is advancing and the rig is being transported for a mid-third quarter spud. “Also, at Kurdamir-3 we are making good drilling progress. With four active rigs, 2013 promises to be the busiest year in our history to date.“ GARMIAN BLOCK (Operated by WesternZagros) Upper Bakhtiari Drilling Program Upper Bakhtiari-1 was spudded on the crest of the Mil Qasim Structure. It is the first of three wells planned to explore the potential of the shallow (500 to 700 metres depth) Upper Bakhtiari Formation in the southern part of the Garmian Block. Testing results are anticipated in the third quarter of 2013. |

South Kurdistan (KRG) Announces Plans for Second Oil Pipeline to Turkey ERBIL, Kurdistan – South Kurdistan (KRG) intends to build a second pipeline for oil exports to Turkey, following Ankara’s agreement with US oil giant ExxonMobil for joint oil exploration in the autonomous enclave, an oil official in Erbil said. Ali Balo, oil advisor in the autonomous Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), said that the pipeline would daily export 500,000 barrels of heavy crude – requiring special buyers – from oil fields in the districts of Akre, Shekhan and Bardarash. He said that would be in addition to another oil pipeline into Turkey, with a daily capacity of 400,000 barrels, that has been nearly completed. “That project is scheduled to finish soon. It has less than 20 kilometers to reach Turkey,” said Balo, who works at the KRG’s Ministry of Natural Resources. The breakthrough announced by Balo follows a visit to the United States by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and his announcement of joint exploration deals in the South Kurdistan with ExxonMobil. “The KRG has decided to install the second pipeline into Turkey that is capable of exporting 500,000 barrels of crude oil per day,” following Erdogan’s US visit, Balo confirmed. “The giant petroleum company ExxonMobil and the Turkish government have reached an agreement on oil production in the South Kurdistan” he added. “Erdogan’s statement was not a surprise as Turkey has been working on this matter for the past two years,” Balo told Rudaw. “Turkey has ambitions to become one of the world’s economic powers, and that ambition demands a large amount of energy,” Balo added. “Erdogan himself adopted the policy to work with the South Kurdistan to export oil through his country.” The announcement of the second pipeline, and that ExxonMobil has decided to work with Turkey on oil exploration in the landlocked South Kurdistan, is a setback for Baghdad. The Shiite central government has long maintained that all oil deals in the autonomous enclave should go through Baghdad, and that any direct agreements with the KRG are illegal. But the KRG insists that the constitution allows independent oil exports, and accuses Baghdad of not paying the operating costs for oil companies working in the region. Until now, Washington has leaned toward Baghdad’s argument, discouraging the KRG from direct oil deals on grounds that more economic independence would encourage the Kurds in their ambitions to declare an independent homeland, leading to Iraq’s division. Balo argued that Erdogan’s statement regarding Turkey’s oil deals with the KRG is the message to Baghdad that the deals are legal and transparent. He said that the goal behind the agreement between Turkey and ExxonMobil was to bring the US on board. “Four months ago, a delegation from the Turkish government went to Washington to convince the White House officials to support the KRG exporting oil through Turkey,” Balo said. “ExxonMobil is a giant American oil company which has economic benefits for the US. That is why, after the Turkish delegation’s visit to the White House, Turkey and ExxonMobil signed an agreement allowing the American oil companies to have a share in the oil deals,” Balo explained. ExxonMobil first signed oil deals with the KRG in November 2012, which encouraged other large concerns, such as Chevron and Russia’s Gazprom to follow suit. Balo said that Turkey would not receive discounted oil “Turkey has to pay the same amount as the other recipient countries. It still benefits from the deals as Kurdistan is a close source of energy for the country,” he added. The South Kurdistan’s oil reserves are estimated at around 45 billion barrels, but Balo said that was expected to rise to 70 billion barrels. More than 50 oil companies have signed oil deals with the South Kurdistan. Balo expressed doubt that Erbil and Baghdad would resolve their energy dispute anytime soon. “An agreement on the issues, including oil issues, between Baghdad and Erbil was signed last month. Soon after, Baghdad officials said what was signed was not an agreement, but a decision to create committees to resolve the issues,” Balo said. He said that if Baghdad continues to ignore resolving the issues, then KRG has no choice but to continue exporting oil without seeking Baghdad’s consent. Balo said that Baghdad was failing to honor agreements to provide refined fuel to the South Kurdistan, complaining that the government was not even providing half the seven million liters of gas needed per day. The autonomous South South Kurdistan’s oil refineries currently produce only 1.3 million liters of gas per day, but that is expected to rise to nearly four million liters a day in the near future, he said. http://rudaw.net/english/kurdistan/210520131 |

Washington is smart. Say one thing from a Washington spokesperson, and do another thing on the ground with Exxon. Essentially, Washington and Exxon are linked to each other, and no doubt that they have made an agreement of some sort. |

Turkey, ExxonMobil going ahead with gas project in South Kurdistan (KRG) Hacer Gemici Before his departure for Washington, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced, “We will undertake joint exploration with ExxonMobil in South Kurdistan (KRG).” This is how he stated Turkey’s readiness to make a presence in the autonomous South Kurdistan (KRG), not despite the US, but with it. Speaking at an airport news conference before his departure, Erdogan revealed an important cooperative venture in South Kurdistan (KRG). He said, “We have taken a step to begin oil exploration with ExxonMobil, together with the (KRG) officials. We will develop these steps further during my US visit.” This was Erdogan’s way of saying that the region’s less costly oil and natural gas resources will be available to the world via Turkey, and that the US firm Exxon was cooperating alongside Turkey in this venture. Erdogan noted that the South Kurdistan (KRG) administration has a constitutional right to undertake such an action. “It is the right of that administration to cooperate in this action with Turkey,” Erdogan said. State-owned Turkish Petroleum [TPAO] will be working with ExxonMobil. This joint venture with ExxonMobil has great significance. The following are the main features of this oil and natural gas deal: ● The prime minister is describing KRG’s selection of Turkey as a partner that will receive 17% of oil revenues as something that it is legally entitled to do, and a “most natural right.” By announcing joint exploration with ExxonMobil, Erdogan is telling the US, “Your company is there and we are working together.” ● Erdogan is also telling the Baghdad government, which is unhappy with the Turkish presence in KRG, that “the US is with us.” ● This step means opening up KRG’s vast oil and natural resources to the world. For Turkey it means cheaper access to natural gas and oil resources, only 150-200 km from its border. ● Turkey’s energy costs are too high. Instead of paying an average of $450 for 1,000 cubic meters of natural gas purchased from Russia, Iran and Azerbaijan, Turkey will now be paying $200-250 for this amount. ● With a pipeline, the region’s 3.2 trillion cubic meters of natural gas reserves will be transported to Turkey and via Turkey, to the world. After Israel’s apology to Turkey, the green light has been given for energy deals in the region. Last week, Turkey’s Energy Minister Taner Yildiz said Turkey was ready to cooperate with Israel and Greek Cypriots in the eastern Mediterranean; we will soon learn about the US role in this cooperation.

Turkey in talks with US Chevron for South Kurdistan: Sources [18:14] 13/May/22 PNA - Merve Erdil - Hurriyet ,After Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s announcement that a Turkish company would be partnering with the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and Exxon Mobil to carry out oil exploration in KRG before his US visit last week, Turkey is now reportedly in talks with U.S. energy company Chevron about activities in South South Kurdistan. Turkish officials and the executives of Chevron have been talking about oil and natural gas pipelines that are planned to be built from the KRG through Turkey, according to sources. However, Exxon is also looking for a partnership with Turkey in the KRG, and Chevron’s approach to Turkey is reportedly different to Exxon’s. Chevron executives and officials from Turkey’s Energy Ministry are also negotiating on the construction and the financing of the new pipelines, the sources said. During Erdogan’s U.S. visit, he was expected to seek Obama’s support for further energy deals that Turkish companies are hoping to strike in KRG. “An agreement was in place for a Turkish company to become a partner with Exxon and the KRG, and details will be clearer after the U.S. visit,” Erdogan had said. Exxon, a global oil company based in Texas, was the first to sign up for exploration deals with the KRG. Others including Chevron, Totali and Russia’s Gazprom Neft have followed. In November, Baghdad blocked Turkish national energy firm TPAO from bidding for an oil exploration contract, a decision that Erdogan had said was not “smart business.” http://www.peyamner.com/English/PNAnews.aspx?ID=311430 |

South Kurdistan (KRG) crude sales to rise as exports reach second Turkish port LONDON,— South Kurdistan's crude oil sales to world markets, deemed illegal by Baghdad, are set to rise by nearly 50 percent next month as trucks start deliveries to a second export terminal in Turkey, industry sources in the region said on Wednesday. Crude exports from the Taq Taq oilfield in the autonomous South Kurdistan to Turkey's Mersin port started at a trickle in early January and have risen to just over 40,000 barrels per day (bpd). They are expected to hit around 60,000 bpd by the end of June as trucks unload at the neighbouring Dortyol terminal in southern Turkey. Oil lies at the heart of a feud between the central government and Kurdistan. Baghdad says it alone has the right to control exports and sign deals, while the Kurds say their right to do so is enshrined in Iraq's federal constitution. In retaliation, Iraq's State Oil Marketing Organisation (SOMO) sent letters warning customers not to touch any oil that had not been marketed by SOMO and the ministry intends to sue producers, namely Anglo-Turkish firm Genel Energy. Turkish intermediary Powertrans has found a steady stream of customers in Northwest Europe for its crude and condensate sales. Major oil firms with interests in southern Iraq have opted not to participate in tenders. Germany's Select Energy lifted the first two Taq Taq cargoes in April. The grade is a light sour crude, a highly sought after quality. One was delivered to Klesch's Heide refinery in northern Germany and the other discharged in Rotterdam. Select is loading a third larger 80,000 tonne cargo. Austria's OMV, already black-listed by Baghdad due to upstream stakes in Kurdistan, also bought one cargo in May, sources said. Iraq's central government says Kurdistan is expected to provide 250,000 bpd towards Iraq's 2013 oil export target of 2.9 million bpd. Adding condensate exports, the total amount of Kurdish oil exports would rise next month to nearly 80,000 bpd, or about 40 percent of the region's total oil production. Kurdish oil had been exported through a Baghdad-controlled pipeline to Turkey before drying up last December due to a payment dispute between Erbil and Baghdad. Moving oil to world markets by pipeline is far cheaper and logistically easier than via truck. Exports by truck are a temporary solution until the autonomous northern region completes its own pipeline to Turkey. Exports via the new 300,000 bpd pipeline are unlikely to start before the year's end, a source familiar with the matter said, particularly as it is still not clear how it will join-up with existing Turkish infrastructure.

Genel Energy and Gulf Keystone make new Kurdistan oil discovery [17:31] 13/May/30 PNA - Genel Energy (LON:GENL) and Gulf Keystone (LON:GKP) have confirmed a new commercial oil discovery in the South Kurdistan (KRG). The Genel operated Ber Bahr exploration well was drilled to a depth 3,933 metres and it encountered good oil shows over a 300 metre interval. Initial testing failed to produce oil flows. However, a sidetrack has now been tested and has produced flows at a rate of 2,100 barrels of oil per day. "The Ber Bahr well adds a further commercial oil discovery to Genel's already significant KRI resource base,” said Dr John Hurst, Genel’s head of exploration. “We plan to begin a phased development of the field in the second half of this year." Meanwhile, speaking from Gulf Keystone’s point of view, GKP chief operating officer John Gerstenlauer said: "This is another significant discovery and the fifth across the four blocks the company has an interest in. “It comes during an exciting year for the company as we move towards becoming a significant producer in the region." The two London listed oil firms each own a 40% stake in the Ber Bahr block, while the Kurdistan Regional Government owns the other 20%. http://www.peyamner.com/English/PNAnews.aspx?ID=312044 |
