Oil exports from south Kurdistan halt in December due new pipeline (Reuters) - ERBIL-Hewlêr, South Kurdistan — South Kurdistan Government has halted December independent oil exports via Turkey following a fire at an oilfield loading station and as it allocates crude to test a new pipeline, trading and local industry sources said. Production at Genel's Taq Taq oilfield was temporarily suspended after the fire at its loading station, one source familiar with the matter said. South Kurdistan has been transporting crude by truck, through a Turkish intermediary called Powertrans, to Turkey, where it is loaded on to tankers for European refiners. Output has resumed at Taq Taq, but also some of its oil is now being allocated for Erbil's new pipeline to Turkey, leaving less for truck exports. The pipeline is in the commissioning phase and is expected to start up at the end of year, pumping an initial volume of around 150,000 barrels per day (bpd) out of Kurdistan's total of over 350,000 bpd. "Quantities of Taq Taq crude are currently being loaded by tanker truck and also being used to fill sections of the new export pipeline," an industry source said on condition of anonymity. The central government in Baghdad calls Erbil's exports illegal, saying that only state marketing body SOMO is entitled to sell oil abroad. Traders said that Powertrans first postponed the December tender to sell the Kurdish crude following the fire and then was forced to cancel it due to risks it might not be able to move enough crude by truck to the Turkish ports of Dortyol and Mersin in time. The fire occurred early last week at the loading station, several industry sources said. "What I was told is that a truck caught fire and that the fire spread from the truck into the loading gantry and caused damage, and in addition there were some injuries," said one industry source. No lives were lost, the sources said. |

Oryx plots path to oil production in south Kurdistan [9:12] 13/Nov/19 PNA - Oryx Petroleum Corp., Calgary, said it believes it is months away from a commerciality declaration and could start oil production in mid-2014 from its Demir Dagh discovery in the South Kurdistan KRG. In its report for the quarter and 9 months ended Sept. 30, the company noted that it has added discoveries at Ain Al Safra in Iraq and Elephant in Congo (Brazzaville) to its asset base, is testing the ZEG-1 exploratory well, and has spudded wildcats at Banan in Iraq and Horse in Congo. Oryx is prioritizing appraisal and development efforts on the Hewlêr license, which it operates with 65% interest. It took impairment charges related to relinquishment of the Sindi Amedi license in Iraq and the Mateen exploratory well on Sindi Amedi. Design of the Demir Dagh early production facility is complete. Main separation trains are under refurbishment and fabrication of storage tanks in progress (OGJ Online, Aug. 7, 2013). The facility is designed to have multiple trains with the ability to process light, heavy, sweet, and sour crudes. Land acquisition is complete and site preparation well along. Equipment is being mobilized for both for the planned truck-loading facility and the tie-in to the Khurmala-Fishkabur pipeline. - See more at: http://www.peyamner.com/English/PNAnews.aspx?ID=325340#sthash.EIvAWT1I.dpuf |

Kirkuk governor: BP deal will benefit South Kurdistan 19.11.2013 Hawar Abdulrazaq BasNews (Erbil): The governor of Kirkuk, Dr Najmiddin Kareen, has said that the British Petroleum (BP) oil deal with the Iraqi government is important for the city as well as the South Kurdistan. In an interview with local Kurdish newspaper Kurdistani Nwe, Dr Kareem, the Kirkuk government and senior Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) officials talked about the deal, and the KRG’s negative reaction to it. “According to the agreement between the Iraqi government and BP, the company won’t dig any new wells in the Kirkuk oil field, their only aim is to increase the capacity of the oil and existing oil fields,” said Kareem. “It is true that the BP has benefitted for Kirkuk, but this deal will also benefit the South Kurdistan,” explained the governor. The governor believes that if the BP project is successful, the Kirkuk oil field will be able to increase its output to 300 thousands barrels per day. Last week, BP’s Chief Executive Bob Dudley and Iraqi Oil Minister Abdul Kareem Luaibi visited Kirkuk in KRG to win support in favor of BP. After BP’s visit to Kirkuk, the Ministry of Natural Resources of the South Kurdistan issued a warning, stating that if the central government refuses to consult them on the project, they won’t provide security for the oil fields. A KRG official, talking on condition of anonymity, told BasNews that the project is against the Iraqi constitution, because the constitution does not allow the the central government to go alone in energy projects in the disputed regions. Kareem reveals that late last year the daily production in Kirkuk oil field was 400,000 barrels, but now this has decreased enormously and he says the current daily production is 230,000 barrels. Regarding KRG protests toward Baghdad and BP deal, Kareem said: “I don’t want to say it, but there have been oil companies who have came from the South Kurdistan to work in Kirkuk without our knowledge. We would like to work with the KRG in the same manner the KRG works with Mosul governorate on energy sector.” “We would be surprised if a company asked to dig new oil wells in Kirkuk, but the BP deal is about increasing the oil field’s capacity, and this is important for the people of Kirkuk,” concluded Kareem. |

Bazian Oil Refinery in Sulaimani: Investments, Expansion Plans and Energy Security Saad Hassan, Vice Chairman of Qaiwan Group of Companies, an operator of the Bazian Refinery near Sulaimani, talks about the expansion plans and the strategy. "At the Bazian Refinery we have increased production from 20,000 barrels to 40,000 barrels. This has been completed with great success. We are building a gasoline block to produce gasoline from the refinery. By the second quarter of 2013 we will produce gasoline. Currently we are producing kerosene and diesel. We do not yet produce gasoline because the block is yet to be completed and the process requires more complex technology. This is why we couldn’t complete the processing of 35,000 barrels per day of refined crude oil, but in a couple of months we should be producing our own gasoline." Says Hassan. The expansion plans are underway with the planned expansion of the refinery that cost US $280 million. Hassan adds: "We completed the project within the budget. We have a second expansion project which is cutting edge in terms of refineries. The initial cap of exports will be US $700 million. The upgrade will be over a period of four years." http://www.marcopolis.net/bazian-oil-refinery-in-sulaymaniyah-investments-expansion-plans-and-energy-security.htm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOeQs8PdCV8 |

Kurdish Mayor: Exxon Mobil to start drilling in Pirmam block 20.11.2013 Hawar Abdulrazaq BasNews (Erbil): The Mayor of Pirmam in South Kurdistan, Jangawar Azhgayie, has told BasNews that US energy giant Exxon Mobil is soon to start drilling at its Pirmam block. Azhgayie said that Exxon officials visited the Pirmam block, north of the Kurdish capital Erbil, and will soon start searching for oil. “A team from Exxon Mobil went to the Pirmam block, there they set up the location for where they will soon be drilling,” said Azhgayie. Exxon Mobil is one of the biggest oil and gas companies in the world. In 2011 it was revealed that the company had signed six contracts with the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). This move upset Baghdad, who in return threatened Exxon with being blacklisted if they did not withdraw; so far no action has been taken by the Iraqi government. “ExxonMobil drilling program in Pirmam is not a new development, it has been long anticipated. But when drilling begins in Qara-Hanjeer and Al-Qush, I predict Baghdad will become agitated because it is against the KRG drilling in disputed areas,” said Shwan Zulal, head of the London-based Carduchi Consulting. “This will prove to be only rhetoric, as there is not much Baghdad can do to KRG or Exxon. Baghdad has been threatening for over two years but has not done much so far,” concluded Zulal. http://www.basnews.net/en/News/Details/Kurdish-Mayor--Exxon-Mobil-to-start-drilling-in-Pirmam-block/6246 |

Iran looks for oil on south South Kurdistan border Bestun Kakayi BasNews (Iran): Iran has started oil exploration projects on the border with south Kurdistan. Experts warn this will affect the Kurdistan region’s oil reserve level. According to Iranian media, Iran’s energy authorities have changed their country’s oil and gas policy; these changes have lead to the planned projects near the southern Kurdish border. Last week Iranian media revealed that Iran’s national oil company signed a contract to work in a pol development project in the Iranian South Kurdistan. “Sarpilie Zahaw, Qassri Shireen and Islam Awa (Iranian Kurdistan areas near the border with KRG) have great potential in terms of oil reserve,” said Hurmuz Qalawandi, head of oil exploration in the Iranian national oil company (INOC). A local Iranian website last week revealed that in the eastern Iranian region, Iran has developed a natural gas field that has close to 260 billion meter square of natural gas reserve. “There is an international law that could be used if Kurdistan were to have a problem with what the Iranians are doing. The Iraqi government and Kuwait could both experience the same problems as Kurdistan,” said Qassem Mashqatti, a Kurdish MP in the Iraqi Parliament. The Kurdish MP says that any country that develops oil fields close to a border with another country is obligated to obtain the neighbor’s permission. “If KRG isn’t happy about Iran developing oil and gas fields close to its borders, they should direct their concerns to Iran through the Iraqi government,” Mashqatti told BasNews. South Kurdistan is rich in oil and gas and over the last couple of years they has moved to develop its hydrocarbon resources. There are currently over 50 international energy companies working in the region including US giants Exxon Mobil and Chevron. http://www.basnews.net/en/News/Details/Iran-looks-for-oil-on-Kurdistan-Region-border/6366 |

Of Pipelines and Patience By DAVID ROMANO South Kurdistan has made impressive gains in the past several years. Despite the presence of a government in Baghdad determined to centralize government power there, they have maintained their autonomy steadfastly. Without doing anything crazy, they patiently pursued their interests in Baghdad, the region and the rest of the world. As a result, they have not only maintained their autonomy but also seem poised to strengthen it with new, independent oil pipelines into Turkey. Many critics of the Kurds said they would never build such pipelines. Now that the first one is nearly complete (with other pipeline projects also recently announced), some analysts claim it is not really independent. Writing in al-Monitor, Denise Natali states that because the new pipeline will connect into the Kirkuk (Iraq)-Ceyhan (Turkey) pipeline, the Kurds will have to coordinate with Iraqi government authorities in order to pump any of their oil: “Even with its own metering station, the KRG will have to tie its pipeline into the existing Iraqi-Turkish pipeline if it wants to transport Kurdish crude to Turkey’s Mediterranean port in Ceyhan. There is no alternative pipeline infrastructure in Turkey in which this KRG line can be connected....The KRG would also have to coordinate the timing of its crude shipments with Iraqi officials in Kirkuk who control the Iraqi-Turkish pipeline, since the heavier grade of Kurdish crude cannot be mixed with the lighter Kirkuk grade.” This is actually incorrect, according to Iraq Oil Report’s November 18 story on the issue. The existing Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline is really two parallel pipelines of 46 and 40 inches diameter. The 46" pipeline is underused, transporting only a portion of the roughly 400,000 barrels per day it is capable of from central government controlled fields in Kirkuk. The 40" pipeline, however, is dormant and capable of transporting some 300,000 barrels a day. Turkish officials estimate that it will take only around 2 weeks for them to refurbish their side of the pipeline. The Kurdistan Regional Government, meanwhile, is presently digging up the dormant 40" pipeline on their territory, just downstream from the Iraqi metering station to the south. They will connect their new pipeline to it and presumably block the end point towards Kirkuk. That looks like an independent pipeline to me. Authorities in Baghdad have objected, of course, but the Kurds and their friends in Ankara appear to be busily ignoring them. They will find a legal and financial regime to sell Kurdish hydrocarbons to a thirsty Turkish and European market, and unless Baghdad agrees to the arrangement it won’t see a penny of the proceeds. That’s because Law #5 of the Kurdistan Regional Government, passed last Spring, allows the region to keep as much of its oil revenues as it needs to in order to make up for money owed to it by the central government. Given the issue of reparations for crimes of the previous regimes in Baghdad against the Kurds, there’s a lot of money the central government could be calculated to owe Kurdistan. Stopping all sharing of oil revenues with the rest of Iraq would no doubt violate Article 111 of the Iraqi Constitution, of course, but Baghdad refusing to transfer money it owes Kurdistan and trying to monopolize all aspects of the hydrocarbon industry isn’t very constitutional either. Which, of course, leads to the next remarkable achievement of South Kurdistan over the past several years: They turned a once implacable Turkish foe into an ally. Just ten years ago, who would have expected this? Who would have predicted that KRG President Barzani would be warmly hosted in Diyarbakir by Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan, as formerly exiled Kurdish singer Shiwan Perwer serenades them? This happened last week. With multiple insurgencies in Prime Minister Maliki’s part of the country growing to alarming levels, and the alienation of most of Maliki’s former allies, there doesn’t seem to be much Baghdad can do about it either. As long as the Kurds don’t do anything stupid like starting a fight over the disputed territories, and I have not seen a single indication that they plan to do this, time is on their side. They may even get to again play a kingmaker role in Baghdad after the 2014 elections, at which point I hope they will carefully consider their choices. In the meantime, they just need to keep building those pipelines and keep being nice with those Turks. - See more at: http://rudaw.net/english/opinion/211120131#sthash.vLLQrqIJ.dpuf |

South Kurdistan oil may start flowing through Turkish pipeline within weeks ISTANBUL,— South Kurdistan's oil exports may start flowing through its own pipeline via Turkey within weeks, and without necessarily agreeing payment protocol with the Baghdad central government, Kurdistan's natural resources minister Ashti Hawrami said. "We could even see flows before Christmas," he told a conference in Istanbul on Thursday, bringing forward previous forecasts that the first flows would be early next year. The 300,000 barrel per day (bpd) pipeline is being built by semi-autonomous Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) which has proposed taking 17 percent of Iraq's total oil revenues, based on an article in the country's constitution. Hawrami said Erbil would press ahead with exporting oil whether or not Baghdad agree the payment plan. "We are not ignoring Baghdad but if nobody wants to speak with us, that's fine. We have been patient for ten years." Once the pipeline comes online KRG will phase out exporting its exports by road to the Mediterranean port of Ceyhan. "A big part of our production will go into this oil pipeline," Mehmet Sepil, president of Anglo-Turkish oilfield operator Genel Energy said on Friday, reiterating that oil would start flowing through the KRG pipeline within weeks. He said Genel has the capacity to produce about 230,000 bpd at two of its fields - Taq Taq and Tawke - in Kurdistan. The company is at exploration stage in other fields in the region. "By the end of 2014, our capacity in the two fields could go up to 350,000 bpd through new wells," he said. Turkey's intense courtship of KRG has infuriated Baghdad and raised eyebrows in Washington which fears such KRG's independence could lead to a break-up of Iraq. But there is little either can do to prevent the plans. "Kurdistan is on the verge of becoming a major world exporter of oil, first, and then gas," Tony Hayward, Genel's chief executive officer and a former CEO of BP, told a panel. Turkey has proposed that the revenues of KRG's oil exports be collected in an escrow account at a Turkish state bank until Baghdad and Erbil resolve their differences over the revenue.

Oil mixes with drinking water in Kirkuk Water leak from one of the drinking water pipelines in Kirkuk Residents of the Panja Ali neighborhood of Kirkuk are claiming that the drinking water being transported to them smells of oil while the Kirkuk Water Department promises an investigation in the situation. A number of residents of the Panja Ali neighborhood told Kirkuk Now “It’s been for a couple of months now that the drinking water of the neighborhood smells like oil and we suspect that there has been an oil leak and it has mixed with the drinking water pipelines.” They claim to have reported the situation to the Kirkuk Water Department several but still nothing has been done so far. The deputy of the KWD Jihan Ibrahim told Kirkuk Now “There was the same issue several times in the past; we will trace the issue and find a solution if there is anything wrong.” “We have been informed about the situation by residents of the neighborhood in the past who were complaining of an oily smell in the drinking water of the neighborhood, and we then sent our teams to check for any leak or crack in the oil pipelines as the water project of the neighborhood depends on underground water reserve,” Jihan added.

Barzani: Kurdish oil to be exported to Turkey shortly Hoshmand Sadiq BasNews (Erbil): Oil from the South Kurdistan will be exported to Turkey via the newly built oil pipelines before New Year, Kurdish Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani revealed. Barzani told reporters that the South Kurdistan has encountered no difficulties in exporting oil to Turkey, as communication between the Kurdish enclave and Turkey is on-going. “Technical teams from both sides see each other on a daily basis in order to finish the project. The oil export will begin shortly,” said Barzani. Barzani rejected reports claiming that Kurdish oil will be sold cheaply to Turkey. He also said that foreign oil companies are paid by the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and not the Iraqi central government. There have been disputes between KRG and Baghdad over Kurdish oil export to Turkey, the Iraqi government called on Ankara to abandon the project. According to Reuters, the KRG Natural Resources Minister Ashti Hawrami has revealed that Kurdish oil export to Turkey is to begin within the next few weeks. 'The export will start as soon as technical issues are resolved. Assuming no new obstacles will crop up, it can happen before the new year,' Hawrami told an international energy conference in Istanbul. And regarding any constitutional issues facing the process, Hawrami says: 'We don’t need permission to export oil. Our constitution gives us the right. It’s all about transparency, and we will sell it transparently.' Mehmet Sipal, Owner of Genel Energy, also reiterated that Kurdish oil will be exported with in a few weeks. “Our company has the ability to export 230,000 b/d of oil from Taq Taq and Tawke refineries. I expect the daily production in those refineries to increase by the end of 2014,” Sipal added. http://www.basnews.net/en/News/Details/Barzani--Kurdish-oil-to-be-exported-to-Turkey-shortly-/6464 |

Complete stop in oil production in Bai Hassan field in Kirkuk Sunday, 24 November 2013 09:22 Shafaq News / Officials in the oil sector announced on Sunday , a total stop of oil production in Bai Hassan oil field in Kirkuk , following a leak in a pipeline to transport the product, noting that exports to Turkey were not affected . Bai Hassan oil field is one of the largest oil fields in Kirkuk , located to the west of Kirkuk field in parallel form in direction and includes 120 wells , as production capacity reaches up to 195 000 barrels per day . “The leak occurred in the decaying sector of the pipeline that transports oil from Bai Hassan, which produces about 150 thousand barrels per day to the main treatment facility," adding that " We are changing the damaged sector in the pipeline and we expect to resume production of Bai Hassan within 48 hours ,” Officials at the North Oil Company said in a press statement briefed by “Shafaq News “. “Stop of production did not affect oil exports via Kirkuk - Ceyhan pipelines,” they added. Iraq ship most of its oil exports from its ports in the South while pump nearly a quarter of its exports , or slightly less than 400 thousand barrels per day through Kirkuk pipeline to Ceyhan in Turkey . Exporting crude to Turkey through Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline has repeatedly stopped this year because of attacks by insurgents. |

Erbil-Ankara Expected to Finalize Oil Export Deal ERBIL, South Kurdistan – The South Kurdistan is expected to finalize a deal this week to export oil and gas to Turkey as Kurdish Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani arrives in Ankara. A well-placed source told Rudaw that Barzani and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan will seal the final deal allowing exports of Kurdistan’s oil through a recently completed pipeline to Turkey and from there to the world market. Upon his return from Ankara, Barzani is expected to visit Baghdad and discuss the details of the agreement with Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki. Industry reports say that the pipeline, taking Kurdish oil to the Turkish point of Ceyhan, will initially carry 150,000 barrels a day, starting next month. Baghdad opposes any direct oil deals by the autonomous South Kurdistan, but Barzani has reassured that the agreement between Erbil and Ankara is beneficial to all Iraqi people. Last week, Turkish Energy Minister Taner Yildiz said that the Iraqi people will benefit from the oil deals that are signed with the South Kurdistan. “The Iraqi government will also get a copy of all receipts of all money kept in Turkish banks,” he said. At a press conference last week, Barzani said that Iraq must pass the oil and gas law that has been sitting in parliament for years. International observers believe that the export of oil and gas will give the South Kurdistan greater political and economic autonomy. The region is currently dependent on 17 percent of Iraq’s federal budget to run the local government. Since 2007, Erbil and the central government have been at loggerheads over the autonomous region’s natural resources. Iraqi leaders say that Baghdad has the sole authority over the country’s oil and gas, while the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) argues that the constitution grants it the right to extract and export Kurdistan’s own oil. Kurdistan’s Minister of Natural Resources Ashti Hawrami has stressed in the past that Kurdish oil exports should not worry Baghdad because the revenues are shared with the central government. Rudaw has learned that Hawrami was in Ankara last week to arrange the final details for this week’s agreement between Barzani and Erdogan. Yildiz also said earlier this month that his government was planning to mediate between Erbil and Baghdad over outstanding energy issues. "We are trying to establish a method which we believe will counter the concerns of the central Iraqi government,” he said. “So far, the Kurdistan Regional Government and central government have not been able to establish the system they wished," Reuters quoted Yildiz as saying. “The distribution of the revenues would be carried out by Iraq; we would only hold these deposits at a Turkish state bank," the Turkish energy minister added. Kurdish leaders have complained that the central government has failed to pay the fees of foreign oil companies operating in the South Kurdistan, estimated at $5 billion. Earlier this month, Erbil and Ankara finalized a comprehensive energy package that includes the building of a second pipeline connecting the South Kurdistan’s oil and gas to the world market via Turkey. - See more at: http://rudaw.net/english/kurdistan/25112013#sthash.roOucEVT.dpuf |

KRG puts public interest at the mercy of profit-driven oil companies Written on November 26, 2013 by Editor in KRG, Kurdistan, Oil By Harem Karem: Kurd oil field In a report published in July, I attempted to shed light on some serious environmental issues caused by the oil companies operating in the South Kurdistan (KR), while pointing to the failure of the Natural Resources Ministry (NRM) to protect KR’s environment and its population. In this piece, I discuss another problem that has arisen as a direct result of the NRM’s incompetence and irresponsibility. With the world’s thirst for oil and oil’s soaring price, KR sits on more than 47 billion barrels of oil reserves, which make up nearly 4.5 % of current global oil reserves. Since 2007, over 52 concessions have been granted to 34 international companies in 19 countries – including to three of the world’s largest companies (Exxon Mobil, Chevron and Gazprom) which are questing for oil in the KR using cutting-edge technology. Being the main source of revenue to KR and providing energy security to its end-users, oil plays a pivotal rule in the KR’s politics at national and international levels. Hence it should be the NRM’s primary job to consider all the angles and calculate the implications before granting these concessions. The NRM, whose job it is to safeguard the public interest has failed, yet again, to properly apply a set of necessary measures to ensure the reservoirs are managed to an adequate standard. Instead it is risking incalculable harm to KR’s interests and paving the way for conflict in the near future between KR governments and foreign oil companies. As it stands, most if not all of the lucrative concessions granted by the KRG are in the form of ‘Product Sharing Agreements’. These agreements do not give oil companies the right to contaminate the environment as they please – they are expected to act responsibly – and the reservoirs remain the property of the owner (the host country). However, the companies operating in KR are freely and irresponsibly releasing pernicious Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) into the air. Early signs of this pollution include a rising rate of disease among people living near the oil fields and the destruction of their livelihoods. Local residents’ anger is building like a pressure cooker and could explode any time against the oil companies and government: The issue of the reservoirs is less obvious but an even more serious matter. Reservoir expert Z. M. Zimnako briefly described to me the technical aspects: “During the discovery of oil in an area, the first well is usually utilised as starting point to evaluate the amount of oil that reservoir contains – according to the technology available to us at that time. This usually betokens extractable oil which is often referred to as ‘oil reserves’ (the amount that is profitable to extract at the current market price). Additionally, through this preliminary evaluation, orchestrating and preparation of the reservoir and the boundaries of the field take place. Therefore, the amount of oil that a reservoir contains isn’t necessarily equivalent to the amount of oil ‘reserved’ or extractable and profitable at the current market price. “Although, at the time of the initial discovery and evaluation, oil that is not extractable is not accounted for as reserves, this can change in the future as technology advances or the price changes, and so it is added to the previously established reserved quantity. A reservoir might contain one million barrels of oil, but the amount that is extractable at the present moment, profitable within the market price and using available technologies might be 250,000 barrels. The more technology advances and prices change, the more of the remaining 750K barrels that becomes available to extract and hence becomes reserves. “Without getting too technical, the amount of oil that sits in a reservoir is liable to change based on the ‘material balance’. Furthermore, reserves are liable to change based on: advancing technology, market price, the amount of oil in the reservoir and its material balance, as well as methods of production.” Zimnako concluded: “From their time of revelation, reservoirs have a certain lifetime but, as a result of mismanagement and infelicitous or unscientific production, this lifetime could either shrink and/or there could be drastically change in the hydrocarbon status from liquid to gas or even premature death of the reservoir. Hence it is imperative to perpetually monitor and evaluate reservoirs’ behaviour by measuring the production with the reservoir lifetime – by increasing or decreasing parameters as and when deemed necessary.” A responsible government in this situation would take precautionary measures, first of all by establishing a National Oil Company (NOC) to effectively manage the technical side of the industry and ensure that public interests are protected. Instead, the Kurdistan Regional Regime (KRG) and its NRM were too quick to auction off the nation’s resources without first establishing a NOC. Six years on, they have still not set up an effective NOC that can manage the technical side of the industry on their behalf. Worse still, aside from several members of the oligarchs’ inner circle, no one knows anything about what happens to billions of dollars in oil revenues while the rightful owners of these resources – the public – suffers from an horrendous housing crisis, disastrous healthcare system, unemployment figures that are constantly rising and a shambolic traffic system that has killed more Kurds than the oligarchs’ years of civil war. What we are seeing is a fast-growing insalubrious monster feeding on a savage capitalist-system-on-steroids: an unbalanced society with more millionaires and billionaires emerging every year, while increasing numbers of citizens fall below the poverty line and struggle to eat and stay warm. Furthermore, since reservoir volumes and conditions are known to fluctuate it should be the NOC’s job to be the government’s eyes and ears on the ground, particularly to ensuring the following: Appropriate production: The NOC must determine the boundaries of each well – ascertaining production is in line with the well’s expectation and capacity, no more or less. In most cases, the visiting companies are only concerned about profit and it is NOC’s obligation to maintain the reservoirs in good condition. Ensuring the best extracting methods: utilising mechanisms that do not affect other reservoirs in the surrounding area, especially where the visiting company has signed a concession just for that particular reservoir. These reservoirs affect one another and it’s the job of the NOC to maintain all of them. Ensuring the best machines and methods are utilised – aimed at minimising environmental harm. Managing and keeping the records of the oil reserves as well as the material balance (as referred to earlier). As discussed above, the party responsible to oversee all this and protect the environment is the owner of the reservoirs: this is usually the NOC under direct instruction of the government, rather than the foreign oil companies whose main objective is profit. Hence it is the job of the NOC to determine the level of production and to review all of the following: can more than the stated level be produced; have any of the reserved quantities become ‘dead reserves’ (due to price falls or natural causes); what are the applicable measures to increase the reserved quantity; what is the best way to deliver the product to consumers at minimum cost; what is the best way to maintain and increase the reservoir’s lifetime? Only when an effective NOC is fully operational can the above measures be implemented and the public interest protected. For a start this will mean that the natural resources minister and other KRG officials will have accurate data at their disposal. Currently the KRG and NRM neither manage the reservoirs nor possess the right data: the KR population is left at the mercy of the oil companies. For these reasons, to avoid future conflicts and worsening problems, the KRG should avoid signing further concessions until an effective NOC is fully operational. Sources: Kurdistantribune |

Group's Kurdistan interests make it attractive to cash-rich bidder: Genel boss Tony Hayward 26.11.2013 LONDON,— In the City it’s called talking your book. Tony Hayward, the former boss of BP who now runs Genel Energy, has gone on record as saying the group’s interests in Kurdistan make it look particularly attractive to a cash-rich bidder. On Friday UBS backed that up by saying Genel could be a natural takeover candidate. Buyers chased the shares 37p higher to a close of 1035.49p on the broker’s sexy comments and after last week’s Atlantic Council Energy & Economic Summit, at which attendants heard that the Kurdish regional government is forging ahead with deals that would let it start piping oil to world markets as early as next year. UBS said that with resources of an estimated 1.8bn barrels of oil, Genel is well positioned when exports begin. Kurdistan is a rare region where multi-billion-barrel oil fields remain accessible but big international companies are under-represented. Rival broker Liberum Capital is a fan and says the key outstanding risk surrounds the payment mechanism. In other words, how will the Kurdistan government and its contractors be paid for exported oil? Genel exported 29,000 barrels per day by truck in the third quarter of 2013, for which it is being paid in full. The Kurdish energy minister said on Friday: ‘Out of the proceeds of sales the contractors will get their share of compensation. We are not planning to touch our share of the net revenue, which is net of contractors and transportation costs.’ The nuclear deal struck at the weekend between Iran and six world powers helped gas-guzzling stocks forge ahead on expectations of lower fuel costs.

Turkey–South Kurdistan energy deal to go ahead with or without Baghdad's consent ISTANBUL,— The Atlantic Council summit that gathers representatives of the energy community active in this part of the world took place last week in Istanbul, just as it did last year around this time. And just as the case was last year, it will be followed by the Kurdistan oil and gas conference which will take place on Dec.2 in Erbil. Last year, the Atlantic Council summit’s agenda was dominated by the anticipation that an agreement was about to be announced between the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and the Turkish government on the purchase and transfer of Iraqi-Kurdish oil to Turkey. Some of the Americans present were clearly concerned about such a prospect taking place in the absence of Baghdad’s consent. The U.S.’s former envoy to Ankara, James Jeffrey, strongly criticized the increased cooperation between Turkey and the KRG, warning that there could be negative consequences to a deal in the absence of approval from Baghdad. It was interesting to hear a former US official express worry over steps taken by Turkey that could potentially divide Iraq. A few days later, Turkey’s Energy Minister Taner Yıldız’s plane, which was taking the minister and his delegation to the conference in Erbil, had to adjust its flight path by making a detour due to an obstruction from the Iraqi central government. Yıldız is again expected to attend this year’s conference in Erbil. If he has decided to go, this means he is confident there won’t be a similar reaction coming from Baghdad. In fact the change in the mood made itself felt during this year’s Atlantic Council meeting which was attended by U.S. Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz, who used a much softer rhetoric about a possible deal between Turkey and the KRG. So what has changed? The answer changes according to the respondents. “Our position has not changed,” a U.S. official told me. The U.S. has never been against a deal between the KRG and Turkey, however, it was against such a deal that did was sealed without gaining Baghdad’s approval, according to that official. It is very difficult for the outgoing Iraqi parliament to strike a consensus over an oil and gas law, which would solve the dispute between the KRG and central governments. In the absence of such a law, Turkey, the KRG and the Iraqi central government are expected to come to an agreement on the issue of revenue sharing, with dialogue seeming to have intensified recently. The US official expressed optimism over the possibility of bridging differences in a short time. Some other observers, however, believe that stakeholders are under pressure with developments on the ground to be persuaded that Turkey and KRG will go ahead in any case and that includes Washington and Baghdad. “The construction of the pipeline that will carry KRG oil to Turkey is complete,” a highly informed source told me, recalling KRG head Massoud Barzani joining Turkey’s Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan in his historic visit to Diyarbakir a few weeks ago. “If one of the messages Erdogan wanted to give to Barzani by inviting him to Diyarbakir was that Turkey was not doing a deal with the (outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party) PKK at his expense, the other one was to show to Turkey’s Kurds that Barzani was on his side,” he said, adding “Would Barzani come to Diyarbakır if he was not sure that the energy deal will go ahead?” Yet one should not forget Ankara’s efforts to mend ties with Baghdad, which resulted in the visit of Iraqi foreign minister Hoşyar Zebari to Ankara last month, followed by Yıldız’s meeting with his Iraqi counterpart, Hussein al-Shahristani, at a summit in South Korea. “Ankara wanted to show that it did its best and tried to strike an understanding with Baghdad. But the oil will start flowing with or without it,” an energy expert told me, as Yıldız is expected to officially announce the agreement between Turkey and the KRG next week in Erbil. One still hopes that Turkey remains genuine in its efforts to improve relations with Baghdad in general. As Egypt joined the list of countries with which Turkey is cross with, and this time for sure, it should continue efforts to get Iraq off of that list. Ekurd.net |

No need, just wait till you declare independence then seek it as a separate state, they cant say oh but kurdistan was part of iraq when it happened, Jews were killed in Germany they were even in a geographical region of theirs and today Germany still pays compensation to the genocide done towards them by the Nazis Kurdistan: we will resort to law to obtain 17 % of the budget Created on 26/11/2013. 10:19 Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) criticized the federal government for reducing the proportion allocated to them from the federal budget for next year, noting that it will pursue legal ways to get 17% of the budget as a legal and constitutional right. “At the time, 17% must be allocated from the Iraqi budget to South Kurdistan, while the budget of 2014 has allocated less than 11% for the region, the criticism came by the spokesman of KRG, Sven Dazia told “Shafaq News “. Dazia explained that ”Iraq’s budget in 2014 is estimated at 175 trillion dinars, as 18 trillion dinars has been allocated to South Kurdistan, noting that it accounts for less than 11%“. He added that this reduction comes because of the annual increase in expenses for the sovereign of Iraqi government, pointing that KRG will follow all legal ways to get 17% as a legal and constitutional right.
