" Over 1 million barrels of Kurdish oil stored in Turkey


Over a million barrels of crude oil from the Kurdish zone of KRG is stranded in Turkey because of a dispute between Baghdad and its northern region Anadolu Agency reported.

About 1.35 million barrels of crude oil have flown to Turkey's Mediterranean export hub in Ceyhan, the country's energy minister, Taner Yildiz, said Sunday.

The oil, however, remains in containers and has yet to leave Turkish shores, Yildiz told reporters in his hometown, Kayseri.

Yildiz pointed to ongoing disagreements between Iraq's central government and the Kurdish north as the reason for the deadlock.

"I hope that Baghdad and Irbil will settle their disputes and meet on the same point," he said.

Yildiz added that oil from KRG and Baghdad were being stored in separate containers.

"The Kurdish Regional Government in KRG is having a hard time economically because it could not get enough shares from the income generated from petrol and the central budget," he said.

"Baghdad will surely find a solution to this, for Iraq is a union."

Yildiz added that Turkey was working on increasing the capacity of the Kirkuk-Ceyhan Oil Pipeline, which is Iraq's largest crude oil export route.

New Kurdish oil online for DNO International


OSLO, Norway, March 17 (UPI) -- Norwegian energy company DNO International said Monday it started producing oil from new wells in the Tawke field in the South Kurdistan of Iraq.
DNO said Tawke-21 and Tawke-22 were producing oil at a combined rate of 37,000 barrels per day.

Executive Chairman Bijan Mossavar-Rahmani said in a statement production from the Tawke field was close to what the company can deliver through existing pipeline infrastructure and by road.

"With the exceptional results from these latest wells ... we are on track to meet our ambitious deliverability goal of 200,000 barrels per day in 2014," he said Monday.

Genel Energy, led by former BP boss Tony Hayward, said in January an energy agreement between the semi-autonomous Kurdistan Regional Government and Turkey, coupled with the completion of new pipeline infrastructure, should lead to a rise in oil exports from oil fields in the South Kurdistan.

Kurdish oil issues are a source of contention for the central Iraqi government in Baghdad, which says unilateral KRG energy deals are illegal.

Turkey's official Anadolu News Agency reported Sunday about 1.35 million barrels of Kurdish oil are stuck at Turkish ports because of the Iraqi oil rivalry.

Turkish Energy Minister Taner Yildiz was quoted as saying the South Kurdistan, and thereby the whole of Iraq, would benefit if the row were resolved.

"Baghdad will surely find a solution to this, for Iraq is a union," he said.

Kurdistan watchdog calls on authorities to reveal Kurdish oil revenues

17.03.2014
Hoshmand Sadiq

The head of Kurdistan’s financial watchdog has called on the region’s authorities to fully disclose details on Kurdish oil revenue.

Dr. Ahmed Anwar is the head of South Kurdistan’s newly formed watchdog committee, which is responsible for supervising and monitoring information about the region’s personal wealth and properties.

Anwar told BasNews that he wants the Kurdistan Parliament to approve a draft law that would enable them to open a national oil revenue account, so revenue could be put in the account through a transparent process.

“The Kurdistan government should reveal all the details about oil revenue and its daily production and exportation to the public,” Dr. Anwar said.

One of the watchdog committee’s objectives is to disclose all of the belongings of Kurdish officials in an effort to eradicate corruption in the region.

“In the past KRG has said that it didn’t want to reveal all the details about Kurdish oil revenue, because of Baghdad, but now I think its time to reveal all the details for the Kurdish public,” Dr. Anwar added.

WWboy there is NOT a single country that can export 1 billion bpd, that is impossible, iraq is like exporting 2.5 million bdp at the moment and SK is new to this whole new oil development in case you were wondering while iraq has been at it for over 90 years.... SK oil has started since 2007 and to export 2 million bpd in 2015-2016 then it will be a great achievement where the money goes and how much that's another issue...

COPENHAGEN, Denmark – Speaking Kurdish and any expression of Kurdish culture was completely banned in Turkey until 1991. Now, Turkish President Abdullah Gul is distancing himself from his country’s past Kurdish policy.

"I'm brave enough to admit past mistakes," Gul told the Danish newspaper Politiken on Saturday.

In addition, the Turkish president predicts that, if the state gives the Kurds "democratic rights," there will be no reason for guerrillas of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) to "fight anymore".

Kirkuk Oil Fields need Contracts with Foreign Companies

Posted Image
Oil expert; Ahmed Musa Jiyad, photo

Posted: March 17, 2014 at 12:32 pm

The reason behind the lack of major surges in the oil production is because foreign oil companies have been prohibited from signing contracts with oil fields in Kirkuk, oil expert Dr. Ahmed Musa Jiyad revealed.

Kirkuk Now interviewed Dr. Jiyad on the oil production in the Kirkuk province during a workshop on oil held in Erbil. Dr. Jiyad had previously worked as an executive administrator for the Iraqi Oil Ministry until 1988. He is now a consultant to the Center for Global Energy Studies in Norway. .

Dr. Jiyad said that the fields of Kirkuk where the first barrel of oil was produced are considered the major oil output.

He added that the amount of oil production in those fields began to be adversely and significantly affected in recent years. To avoid this, the Federal Ministry of Oil (MOO) offered these fields in the first licensing round in 2009, looking forward to signing contracts with international oil companies for the development of the oil wells in Kirkuk and in order to increase production levels.

He made it clear that no agreement has been reached in this round with any global company to develop the Kirkuk oilfields, because of the very high financial charges requested by those companies which were not accepted by the MOO. This prevented quality mutations of oil production in the Kirkuk fields in comparison with those in the Southern Iraq.

He continued that the fields of southern Iraq, such as Rumaila, Zubair, West Qurna 1, and Mesan have experienced an increase in oil production because of the signing of long-term contracts with international companies to develop competent oil fields and increase production levels.

Oil was first discovered in Kirkuk in 1927 in the area of ​​Papa Gorgor near the city of Kirkuk, but it was extracted in an organized way in 1934.

Dr. Jiyad mentioned that BP, the third largest private oil company in the world, is preparing a technical study of the Kirkuk oilfields according to a memorandum of understanding signed with MOO. The study will last for eighteen months. It will prepare a report on how to develop the necessary plans to develop oil wells.

The expert went on saying that in the beginning, the study faced some political problems between the Kirkuk Provincial Council and the MOO, but those issues were resolved. “I think that the two sides are now in the right direction despite objections from the Kurdistan Regional Government,” Dr. Jiyad stated.

He added that this study is purely technical and may not result in contracts being signed. It is necessary to accomplish it since the oil wells in Kirkuk have problems due to the fact that the geological structure of the fields is classified as complicated.

“These geological structures have been badly dealt with especially in the eighties and nineties. But as a legal economist and not a technician I cannot offer more information on the subject,” Dr. Jiyad continued.

Iraq relied on the Kirkuk fields to export most of its oil in the eighties via Turkey through the Kirkuk – Ceyhan pipeline especially in the times when it could not export oil from the fields in Basra because of the Iran-Iraq war from 1980-1988.

This was a burden on the Kirkuk fields which also experienced neglect in the nineties because of the economic embargo imposed on Iraq by the UN after invading Kuwait.

In response to the question of whether or not the discovery of oil in South Kurdistan affects the status of Kirkuk on the Iraqi oil map, the oil expert replied that the oil production from the region according to all the contracts signed by the KRG is not equivalent to the oil produced from Kirkuk, nor does it affect the status of Kirkuk.

The expert concluded with a reference to the issue of the gas burning associated with the process of oil extracting in the Iraqi fields, including those of Kirkuk. He deemed it a waste of resources and pollution to the environment. He attributed it to the lack of proper mechanism to make benefit of the gas.

He pointed out that 83% of the total gas had burnt away in the whole fields of Iraq in 2013. And the estimated amount of the oil stockpile in the fields of Kirkuk is more than 12 billion barrels while the rate of the export of raw oil produced from Kirkuk is about 400,000 barrels per day.

As long as there are 40 million kurds, we will never let iraq take over new oil fields in Kerkûk, and as long as kurds remain majority in Kerkûk this will never happen, they will dry up the Baba field and they can pack up their NOC and GTFO... iraq has been stealing Kurdish oil of Kerkûk for over 90 years and most of their genocide against kurds were done by Kerkûk oil fields, no more.

Kurdish independent oil pipeline starts from "Kerkûk" all KRG needs to do in the future is connect Avana (red rectangular) field in Makhmour as Baba field is on the brink of drying up...

Russian Girenak Joseph, who visited Kirkuk in Kurdistan as a part of his tour throu the 1870 - 1873 AD, who published the results of his trip & his studies later in 1879, in the 4th volume in the Bulletin of the Caucasus department of the Royal Geographical Russian Society estimated Kirkuk's population as many as 12-50,000 people, & he emphasized that except 40 Christian families, the rest of the population were Kurds. As for The Turkmen & Arabs, they have not been already existed at the time.

KRG

The negotiations with Baghdad on oil export and budgetary matters are ongoing. These negotiations have not yet resulted in any acceptable agreements.

As a goodwill gesture the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) has offered to make a contribution to Iraq oil pipeline exports to give the negotiations the maximum chance of success.

The KRG contribution to oil export will be one hundred thousand (100,000) barrels per day effective from 1st April 2014, and will continue while the negotiations are proceeding in a positive direction.

The KRG has not set any preconditions for this initiative. In the coming weeks, the KRG will seek a full settlement with Baghdad on the way in which the KRG’s oil exports and oil sales revenues are managed and controlled.

The KRG shall at all times preserve its rights as defined in the permanent Constitution of Iraq.

The United States welcomes the decision by the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) to begin oil exports of 100,000 barrels-per-day on April 1 through the Iraqi-Turkey pipeline pursuant to existing export arrangements with the Government of Iraq (GOI). We further welcome the commitment from the KRG to ensure that these exports continue in parallel to ongoing talks towards a framework agreement on the management of the hydrocarbon sector.

The United States urges the joint GOI-KRG committee, comprising experts from the GOI’s Ministry of Oil and the KRG’s Ministry of Natural Resources, to meet and assess future month-to-month export targets based on technical capacities and in a manner consistent with the Iraqi Constitution.

Regarding the ongoing discussions towards a general framework agreement, the United States notes the progress that has been made in recent months including general principles that would allow for all Iraqis to benefit fairly and equitably from anticipated increases in oil production and export. We will continue to serve as a neutral broker and facilitator to the extent desired by the leadership of both the GOI and the KRG, consistent with our long-term partnership with Iraq as outlined by the Strategic Framework Agreement.

Hahaha, hopefully Russia now will supports Kurdish independence and oil-pipeline will be redirected or oil sold directly to Russia instead of Western-Europe/USA to f**k those retards up their ass. Payback for dividing our country after WW1 and USA's hypocritical stance regarding Mid-East. And hopefully Europe will run out of oil and make a stupid, desperate decision by attacking Russia. Result: Russia vs the West in total-war. Oil price will go up, all 4 parts of Kurdistan liberated, Kurdistan richest country in the world. When entire Europe & Russia are in ashes, we will establish banks everywhere and continue to rule Europe for the upcoming 10 decades. :P
biji kurd u kurdistan !!
