Kurdish oil secure after blasts [11:26] 13/Oct/02 PNA - Gulf Keystone, an oil company operating in KRG, said weekend attacks in Erbil had no major impact on oil operations. Officials in the semiautonomous Kurdistan blamed al-Qaida for a string of bombings in Erbil, the Kurdish capital, that left six people dead and more than 40 others injured, on Monday. The Kurdish provinces have been relatively shielded from violence. Its government, however, has been locked in a heated debate over oil revenue with the central government in Baghdad. Gulf Keystone, a company with headquarters in London, said it was saddened by the weekend attacks. "Gulf Keystone's people are thankfully all safe and operations are not affected and all our thoughts are with the people of the South Kurdistan," Chief Executive Officer Todd Kozel said in a statement. The company in June said the region's Shaikan field could hold as much as 10.5 billion barrels of oil. The KRG said production would start at 40,000 barrels of oil per day and reach 250,000 bpd by 2018. Gulf Keystone said gross production from the first phase of Shaikan totaled 183,000 barrels of oil and nearly all of it was sold on the Iraqi market. - See more at: http://www.peyamner.com/English/PNAnews.aspx?ID=321992#sthash.Jz68KNqo.dpuf |

Is the pipeline into Turkey complete and tested? I understand that the Turkish and Kurdish Oil Ministers will set the date for the STEAM conference in Hewlêr soon. I hope they are planning on celebrating on the achievement for Kurdistan exporting it's oil directly. May force Baghdad to pass the oil and gas law?!! Does anyone know if progress is being made at Al Qosh by Exxon? |

Alan - would you say American (Exxon, Chevron,..others?), Kurdish NOC, and Turkish company are going to form a consortium to develop the Shaikan and surrounding fields (SUpergiant field!) to fulfill the future needs Ashti talks about? DO you think the Chinese will play a bigger part in the future development of these fields? Oil export pipeline near completion, KRG minister tells meeting at Conservative Party conference THU, 3 OCT 2013 09:08 | KRG.org Manchester, UK (KRG.org) - A pipeline to export oil from the South Kurdistan will be operational within a few months, Ashti Hawrami, the Kurdistan Regional Government Minister of Natural Resources, told a meeting at the Conservative Party conference yesterday. 'The new oil export pipeline from the South Kurdistan is almost complete and is expected to be operational by the end of the year,' Dr Hawrami said. He added that he expects exports to reach 1m barrels per day by 2015 and 2m by 2019. ' We are helping the security and continuity of energy supply to the world,' he said. He added, 'Sharing all oil revenues according to the federal constitution, and the economic independence of Kurdistan are the recipe for the unity of i-rack.' The minister was speaking at a meeting addressing energy security, hosted by the KRG UK Representation. Other speakers were Nadhim Zahawi MP, Jane Kinninmont of the think tank Chatham House, analyst and consultant Shwan Zulal, and Bayan Sami Abdul Rahman, the KRG's High Representative to the UK. The meeting was chaired by Robert Halfon MP, vice-chairman of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on the South Kurdistan. Dr Hawrami told an audience of Conservative Party members, diplomats, journalists, business representatives and analysts that South Kurdistan's energy riches had been ignored or used against the Kurdish people under previous i-racki governments. 'With the liberation of i-rack, a new era, an opportunity for sharing power and wealth, opened up in i-rack. The i-racki constitution facilitates that but so far it hasn't been implemented,' he said. The minister also noted that the KRG sees Turkey not just as a conduit for Kurdistan's oil and gas to Western markets, but also as a consumer and partner. Dr Hawrami highlighted the role of British companies in the energy sector as well as in Kurdistan's growing economy generally. He encouraged British companies to continue to look at Kurdistan as a destination for their investment. 'We have a good relationship with Britain and there are lots of opportunities for British companies. It's a win-win situation.' Bayan Sami Abdul Rahman spoke about the KRG's strategy of prioritising tourism, agriculture and industry in order to avoid over-reliance on the energy sector. She said that the Kurds were now a factor in the shaping of the Middle East, both in terms of energy security and political settlements. Nadhim Zahawi, the first British member of parliament to be of Kurdish origin, told the meeting that groups like the Kurds could no longer be ignored by those wishing to establish peace in the Middle East. Jane Kinninmont said that the KRG would need to diversify its economy. 'I visited Kurdistan this year and spoke to young students who were keen that oil and gas is not wasted and that the economy doesn't over-rely on it. Economic diversification will be a very important aspect of Kurdistan's future,' she said. Shwan Zulal described the South Kurdistan as a viable source of energy to Europe and pointed out that the KRG hoped to have a minerals law in place in the near future, opening a new sector of the Kurdish economy. While at the conference, which was held in Manchester, Minister Hawrami and Ms Abdul Rahman met several British ministers and MPs, including Alistair Burt, the Minister for the Middle East, Energy Minister Michael Fallon, Sajid Javid, Minister at the Treasury, and Lord Marland, the British Prime Minister's Trade Envoy who recently led a trade delegation to Kurdistan. They also met the Turkish ambassador in Britain, Ünal Çeviköz, who welcomed them to the Conservative Friends of Turkey reception at the party conference. The KRG UK Representation also attended the annual conferences of the Labour and Liberal Democrat parties in September. The Representation hosted a discussion on Kurdistan at the Labour Party conference with Ian Lucas, Shadow Middle East Minister, the Labour peer Lord Glasman, Faik Nerwayi, the i-racki Ambassador to the UK, and Gary Kent, director of the APPG on Kurdistan. http://www.krg.org/a/d.aspx?s=010000&l=12&a=49278 |

I know the Kurds on this forum who are from Southern Kurdistan are happy with this or think this is a way out of i-rack, so to speak. However are we going to trade one prison for another? I feel that the close economic ties of an independant SK and Turkey is far more worse than a SK within the frameworks of i-rack. Turkey is re-claiming its old Ottoman power status in the MENA, and how is it doing that? Economically, it doesn't need brute force or military might. Just look at all the shopping malls in SK, 80% of them are Turkish owned. The truth is Southern Kurds may be able to support the Kurds in Rojava, but once the pipelines are complete by mid 2014, SK will never be able to support the PKK in NK directly. If they do, the Turkish government will just cut off oil supplies from the pipelines, yes Turkey will lose out, but face it we Kurds will be the bigger victims. Our only hope is the Mediterranean sea and the YPG liberating that region. There is also the Iran route, but the problem with Iran is that it is under sanctions and it could also use us as a political tool to extend its own power. All I'm saying is that these pipelines connecting to Turkey may have economic benefits, but are we willing to substitute those economic benefits for the real political goal and outcomes? Like Kurdish independance. But I do recognize that the KRG's options are very low and they are doing this out of neccesity, rather than choice. |

It's not just SK oil sold to intl market it's a 2 way trade, they simply can't cut oil supplies to EU and the world to punish SK... look how tense iracki turkish ties got I didn't see turkey cutting Kerkuk-Ceyhan pipeline... Something's will not be in the hands of turkey with SK and oil pipelines are one of those, I think you are underestimating Exxon's power... As for all the turkish BS in SK I hope Gorran can oppose and create awareness among SK citizens regarding this issue since I've lost hope in PDK doing so... |

Gorran can Nationalise those Turkish owned malls, in order to ensure the profit generated from those malls go directly into Kurdish hands. Nationalisation from the point of view of the KRG may seem extreme, but either that or a minimum tariff on the number of Turkish goods entering the KRG. |

Remember the stuff they sell at those malls may still be produced in Turkey. We can nationalize the trade but in the end Turkey is still profiting from it financially and through exporting its culture into Kurdish society. Why do we need Turkish goods anyway? We can import East Asian goods and if the public wants to watch soaps, there are so many alternatives to just Turkish ones. Edited by Azamat, Oct 5 13, 8:54.

And the KRG can employ foreign engineers under a nationalized oil firm to make up for any deficiency we have. Just offer them a higher salary than the IOCs, give them a large home for their families and other privileges, that ought not be much of a problem right? Edited by Azamat, Oct 5 13, 12:40.

Kurdistan Oil Minister: Dana Gas Breached Confidentiality, Owes KRG Significant Sums By RUDAW 3 hours ago ERBIL, South Kurdistan—Kurdistan’s Minister of Natural Resources, Ashti Hawrami, has dismissed as “inaccurate and misleading” claims by Dana Gas that the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) owes the company millions of dollars in overdue payments. “The statements made in the press briefing are materially inaccurate and incomplete,” says Mr. Hawrami in a letter sent to Dana Gas managing director, Majid Hamid Jafar. A Reuters report on September 26 said that the KRG owed Dana Gas $380-390 million in payments in return for fuel supplied to the autonomous region. “The KRG does not owe Dana Gas the sum referenced or any other sum, and the statement that the sums are “overdue” from the KRG is inaccurate and misleading to investors,” reads Mr. Hawrami’s letter, an exclusive copy of which was obtained by Rudaw. Dana Gas has been operating in the South Kurdistan since 2007. According to the Reuters report, because of delay in payments in Kurdistan and Egypt, “Dana Gas become the first United Arab Emirates company to miss a bond redemption when it matured late last year,” The Kurdish Natural Resources Minister however, says the company’s action is “a breach of confidentiality duties owed by Dana Gas to the KRG,” “The ongoing breaches of the commitments owed by Dana Gas and its affiliates to the KRG have resulted in significant (and increasing) damage to the KRG,” says Mr. Hawrami’s letter. We require, he says, that Dana Gas desist from such breaches in the future. On Thursday, Goran Azad, an MP from the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) and former member of the parliamentary Oil and Gas Committee told Rudaw TV, “We have got documents that says it’s Dana Gas that has not fulfilled its commitments to the KRG and that it’s Dana Gas that owes compensations to the Kurdish government.” Reuters reported that “The Abu Dhabi-listed company completed repairs to its liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) facility at the Khor Mor field in Kurdistan in mid July, but it has not restarted production because no buyers have contracted supplies from it yet.” But the Kurdish minister says, “It is Dana Gas and its affiliates that owe the KRG significant sums, not the other way around,” Mr. Hawrami’s letter goes on to say that to compensate losses caused by Dana Gas’s actions, “the KRG will retain the proceeds of condensate sales to protect its entitlement to adequate compensation.” Rich with billions of barrels of untapped oil and natural gas, the South Kurdistan has become an attractive spot for many international oil giants, chief among them Chevron, Exxon Mobil and Total. - See more at: http://rudaw.net/english/kurdistan/05102013#sthash.n6noStOm.dpuf |

Kurdistan to complete oil export pipeline soon Saturday, 05 October 2013 13:31 Shafaq News / Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) announced that the pipeline to export oil through Turkey will be completed soon and expected to produce two million barrels per day by 2019 from the region’s fields. The establishment of this line has angered the central government in Baghdad, which also does not recognize the contracts signed by Kurdistan with international energy companies to develop its oil fields. The region stopped pumping oil into the pipeline that connects Kirkuk to Turkish port of Ceyhan since last year to protest against Baghdad for not paying dues of foreign companies in Kurdistan. The Minister of Natural Resources in KRG, Ashti Hawrami said in a statement released by KRG site, briefed by “Shafaq News “that “oil export pipeline project from South Kurdistan will be completed soon. Hawrami expected at a meeting on addressing energy security hosted by the Representation of Kurdistan Regional Government in Britain, running the pipeline by the end of this year. Days ago, Baghdad said that it has demanded Kurdistan to connect the new pipeline between Kirkuk and Ceyhan in Turkey to allow Baghdad measure the level of crude flow. But Kurdistan responded by saying that it will resort to export oil away from the federal government if Baghdad did not pay dues of the oil companies operating in Kurdistan. |

New pipeline will be operational by the end of the year: Ashti Hawrami South Kurdistan’s Minister of Natural Resources Ashti Hawrami said the new pipeline from the region to Turkey is nearing completion and will start operating by the end of year. “The new oil export pipeline from the South Kurdistan is almost completed and is expected to be operational by the end of the year,” Hawrami told a meeting at the Conservative Party conference last week in London. He added that he expects oil exports from the region to the Turkish port of Ceyhan to reach 1m barrels per day by 2015 and 2m by 2019. Last week the Iraqi government warned the South Kurdistan it might refuse to pay the 17 percent of annual earnings from oil sales allocated to the semi-autonomous Kurdish provinces if the region bypasses central authorities and starts operating a link through Turkey by year-end. The estimate of the self-rule region's oil reserves is 45 billion barrels. http://www.kurdpress.com/En/NSite/FullStory/News/?Id=5591#Title=%0A |

Same article as above except last sentence. But thats an important one Blomberg said thursday that KRG will connect pipeline to Baghdads meteringstation but i think that was false information.. Hawrami isnt that stupid, right? http://www.worldbulletin.net/?aType=haber&ArticleID=119855 Additionally he claimed that giving KRG the right to produce energy freely and independently would be the only way to preserve the unity of i-rack. |

In turn those foreign enigneers in SK can educate the Kurdish youth or students of apprentiships. So that why in the short term we gain extra human capital by investment in foreign experts, and in the long-term we will have our own at a much lesser cost. Win win situation.

Yes, but the KRG has made contracts with the IOCs for as much as 20 years of operations. This is far, far too long, and there will be hardly any oil left for doomestic use by that time at all. They could have just signed deals for 5-10 years. |

I think we could use their engineers to train our engineers or potentional engineers and then once they are trained, simply nationalise the oil industry in SK. I know the foreign companies would be annoyed, but it wouldn't manner because we would have the knowledge and expertise to export our own oil directly. The only problem remains, is independant pipelines, that is where the YPG still need to reach the Med sea. |
