Local workforce must reach 99% in the next 5-10 years in executive and managerial levels

63% of workforce in IOC in South Kurdistan is local

21.04.2014

According to the third monthly report of the South Kurdistan Ministry of Natural Resources from December 2013, 63% of the workforce working in the International Oil Companies (IOC) is local.

The report concluded that out of the 4,532 staff members, 2,877 are local.

In Khurmala, near the disputed city of Kirkuk, the local workers are a majority with 99%. Gazprom has the least number with nine locals out of 57 staff members.

The distribution of local workforce is different in various managerial and worker positions.

Out of 9 executive positions in the oil companies only one is filled by a local. However at a managerial level, there are 54 positions and five of them are filled by locals.

On an operational level, the number of skillful workforce like drillers and technicians is 510, of which 451 are local.

In the lower worker’s ranks the staff number is 792, of which only 96 are foreigners.

If it doesn't reach 90% at least with 100% of CEO's Kurdish, they must stop their operations.
f**k off with foreigners profiting of KURDISH oil! NO to foreigners. Indians, Bangladeshi etc. cleaning streets etc, ok, they are poor people who need money.
But no to fat filthy executives who didn't give a shizz about Kurdistan prior to oil discovery trying to make millions. I'd rather have a corrupt Kurd claiming a high position than a foreigner...

I think his point was directed towards other countries particularly African and southamerican countires. Even other Aryan people. For example the chinese use this strategy. They bring along chinese workers,engineers etc to the places they drill oil and if you watch these oil-drilling spots, more chinese work there than local people. In some places there are no local workers. So what happens with the local people, well you can probably guess. I think he'd prefer the position Iran holds than some african country. So do I, Iran is a very succesful ''country''. Whether we like it or not Persians are smarter than many europeans when it comes to statistics. That's a reason I fear the most for Rojhelat. I mean how can you fight a people with W.M.D's.

Plus I think he has developed a hate for Americans and westerns, which indeed would be very natural considering their acts against us. I'd rather prefer being hated over being a puppet of the nation of masturbation (America).

If we had access to sea and we bigger in size then yes we could follow Iran model in dealing with our oil, since we aint in their position we have to sacrifice our wealth a bit to achieve our goals unfortunately.

Questor share tip: Buy Genel as oil production doubles

The Kurdistan-focused oil explorer run by ex-BP chief Tony Hayward has a busy year ahead, says Questor

Genel Energy
928½p+4
Questor says BUY

KURDISTAN-focused oil explorer Genel Energy has confirmed it is on target to double revenue and profits in 2014.
This year will prove to be a busy one for the frontier oil explorer, which is chaired by former BP boss Tony Hayward, as it is planning to double production by using a new 400-mile pipeline.
Julian Metherell, chief financial officer, told Questor the company is on target to reach 70,000 barrels of oil per day (b/d), generating revenue of $600m for the full year.
Production during the first quarter increased by 35pc, compared with the same period last year, to 50,000 b/d. Analysts say they are being cautious and that revenue is likely to exceed $600m once an export pipeline from Kurdistan to Turkey is up and running.

Until recently Genel has been hamstrung in its efforts to sell its oil by the lack of a route to market.
The group has had to send its oil out of Kurdistan on trucks, which costs more, reducing the price from the Taq Taq field to about $69 per barrel during the first quarter, compared with a benchmark Brent crude price of $109 today.
The new Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline means Genel can sell its oil on to global markets at around $100 per barrel, after pipeline fees, an increase of around $30 per barrel from today.
The Kurdish end of the pipeline is new, but it has been connected to a Turkish section that hasn’t been used for a decade.
Mr Metherell said he expects work to replace a Turkish section of the pipeline and install a new pump to be completed by the second half of the year.
Then there are the new oil drilling projects, the most exciting of which is off the coast of Angola.
At depths of 2.5km below sea level this venture is expensive and high risk but, according to UBS analysts, the shares could almost double if oil is found. Drilling is set to start in June, with results due by the end of the year.

Genel is also looking to drill off the coast of Malta within weeks and results are due by the third quarter.
The investment looks to be high risk, but the shares remain a buy.

South Kurdistan generates 'billions' from oil and gas sector

Kurdish government releases energy revenue data

KRG releases oil, gas economic data.
By Daniel J. Graeber | April 22, 2014 at 9:33 AM


ERBIL, KRG, April 22 (UPI) -- "Billions of dollars" generated from the oil and gas sector have benefited the citizens of the Kurdistan region of Iraq, the Kurdish government said.

The semiautonomous Kurdistan Regional Government published data on revenue generated from 2007-13. It said its Ministry of Natural Resources created gross revenue of around $9.7 billion.

"[The ministry] has presided over the impressive growth of the oil and gas industry in the Region, generating billions of dollars that have benefitted each and every citizen of Kurdistan, and also those of the rest of Iraq," Minister of Natural Resources Ashti Hawrami said in a statement Monday.

The KRG and central government in Baghdad are at odds over who controls what aspects of the energy sector. The central government says unilateral activity in the Kurdish energy sector violates the nation's constitution.

KRG said revenues generated from the energy sector have been within limits outlined by a 2007 agreement with Baghdad.

"Thanks to the progressive energy policies pursued by the KRG since 2007, oil and gas have become a key source of our future social, economic and political strength," Hawrami said.

The ministry said most of the revenue was used to rebuild infrastructure and diversify the region's economy through agriculture and tourism.

Iran, KRG sign energy agreement: agency

Iran signed an agreement with Iraq's Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) for oil and natural gas on Sunday, according to a Kurdish official.

Abullah Akrayi, the Kurdish Regional Government official responsible for Iran affairs, told journalists that a delegation led by Rostem Qasimi, Iran's delegate for trade relations with Iraq, made the deal with the regional government's energy minister Ashti Hawrami, Anadolu News Agency said.
The agreement proposes the construction of two pipelines between the Kurdistan region of KRG and Iran, and the regional government would receive between 3 and 4 million liters of refined oil fuel and natural gas in return for sending crude oil to Iran.
Currently, 1.5 million barrels of oil from the Kurdish Regional Government is stored in Turkey's Ceyhan port, waiting for the approval of Iraq's central government to be exported.
The regional government has been embroiled in a long-running row with the central government in Iraq over shares of oil revenues, with Baghdad opposing the export of stored Kurdish oil from Ceyhan, claiming it would bypass the country’s national oil company in violation of Iraq’s constitution.

Wait, so we will send oil to Iran to be refined? We should build our own refineries, not depend on a unstable state like Iran! I understand the importance of this economically and we "have" to do it for now (and will give us a little bit more flexibility for now), but KRG should really start focusing on building more refineries.
We should do have a multinational project to export oil from Kurdistan to Asian markets.

Iran-Erbil Agree on Energy Deals and Boosting Trade


ERBIL, South Kurdistan – Tehran and Erbil agreed to boost trade and energy ties, agreeing to build a gas pipeline to fuel power stations in Kurdistan with Iranian gas, and another to transport Kurdish fuel to Iran, officials said.


The plans were discussed Monday between a delegation headed by Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani and a visiting Iranian team headed by Rostam Qasemi, a former oil minister who now heads the Iran-Iraq economic development committee.


“Energy ties between the South Kurdistan and Iran were discussed in the meeting and we agreed on two points that both are related to energy,” said Abdulla Akreyi, head of the KRG-Iran relations. “We agreed on building two pipelines from Iran to Kurdistan. The second one is for the KRG to export oil to Iran; in return Iran would supply 3-4 million liters of fuel for the power stations (in the South Kurdistan),” he added.


Qasemi also met with the KRG Minister of Natural Resources Ashti Hawrami.


According to a statement posted on the KRG’s website, Iran and the South Kurdistan are to form several joint committees to work on bilateral economic and trade relations.


“Both sides are to work on ways to increase trade and expand cooperation in the energy field,” said the statement.


“We have delegated the work to a joint committee to finalize the agreement,” Qasemi said.“


Iran is the second-largest trade partner of the South Kurdistan, after Turkey. Tehran-Erbil trade exceeded $4 billion in 2013.


“Compared to Turkey we have less trade with the South Kurdistan, and we are hoping to double the size of economic ties after this visit,” Qasemi told Rudaw.


The Iranian official estimated that Kurdistan would need a massive volume of gas to power its industry, generate electricity and for household usage.


“The South Kurdistan is in need of 25 million cubic feet (Mcf) and Iran can supply that volume,” said Qasemi. “Natural gas is used for industry, electricity-generation, and household use, and Kurdistan can benefit from it as it gets cold here during the winter and it’s cheap,” he added.


According to the initial agreements, Iran will construct a 180-kilometer pipeline inside its territory, reaching its border with the South Kurdistan.


Rudaw learned, from a source speaking on condition of anonymity, that the Iranian delegation has pledged to finish the project within six months, pending agreement by the KRG.


The source added that the Iranian delegation had also offered the KRG access to Iran’s ports on the Persian Gulf to sell Kurdish oil. The plan would require the KRG to get its oil overland to the Gulf. The KRG is said to be studying the proposal.


Qasemi also rejected claims that Kurdish oil is being smuggled into Iran. “We absolutely deny that Kurdistan oil is smuggled into Iran,” he said. Iraqi officials have in the past accused Erbil of illegal oil sales to Iran.


Qasemi said that Tehran wants Erbil and Baghdad to resolve their energy disputes through dialogue, and encouraged both sides to agree on cooperation.


Baghdad opposes plans by the KRG to export Kurdish oil independently through a pipeline to Turkey. Baghdad says only it has the authority to control oil and gas sales from any part of Iraq, a claim the Kurds reject. Both sides invoke the constitution to back their claims.


“We are using all our efforts to resolve the issues between the South Kurdistan and Iraq,” Qasemi said. “We are happy to see cooperation between all parts of Iraq, and we inform our friends to have active and constant relations with the South Kurdistan.”


Iran holds great sway over Baghdad and the government of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, who is a staunch ally of Iran and a fellow Shiite.


A Kurdish official, speaking on condition of anonymity, explained that, “If we finalize the agreement with Iran to export oil, then Iraq will be compelled to acknowledge the authority of KRG to sell its own oil.”


Akreyi, the KRG official, believes that Iran has come to terms with the KRG’s right to export its own oil and gas, hence the visit by the Iranian delegation.


“Certainly, there will be agreements between KRG, Baghdad and Iran,” he said. “The situation is favorable, that’s why Iran is coming. If they knew the constitution would not allow it (independent oil- and gas sales), they would not have come.”

haha haha How stupid can they be, from a Kurdish perspective these are great news as it will now force Turkey and Iran into a competitive game on who gets what from the cake and Turkey can't use it as a pressure card. And what amuses me more is to see how sharistani and maliki will react when they find out what their masters have done. But the most important thing is that KRG looks at their proposal about exporting oil via through bandar abbas, that would be crucial

Maliki is not going to utter a word. Maliki is with Iran, and, Iran is the one that is applying pressure on him to make trouble for Kurdistan because we trade with Turkey and not Iran. This message was even conveyed via Murad, the Shia Kurd inside the PUK who seems to be running a Iranian puppet wing in the PUK.

Playing Turkey and Iran vs. each other should be an easy job, they're already bidding, so why not?

Kurdish Oil to Turkey Resumes; Sales to Begin Soon

By RUDAW 19 hours ago

ERBIL, South Kurdistan – South Kurdistan has resumed oil exports of 100,000 barrels per day (bpd) through a pipeline to Turkey, where the crude will go for sale in the next several days, Turkish energy minister Taner Yildiz indicated.

"The flow of oil from KRG resumed with a capacity of 100,000 barrels a day,” Yildiz told journalists on Friday in the northwestern city of Bursa. "Turkey only facilitates the procedure and paves the way," he added. “The sales may begin within three days or a week."

Yildiz reaffirmed that the oil belonged to all Iraqis, and they are responsible for the sale. "The oil stockpiles belong to Iraq and, of course, they will sell it themselves," he noted.

A senior advisor at Kurdistan’s Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR), who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said: “We ask buyers to participate in tenders to sell Kurdistan oil.”

The statements by the Turkish minister and the Kurdish advisor meant that the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) is going ahead with selling its oil to buyers at the Turkish port of Ceyhan, despite unresolved differences with Baghdad over the issue.

The oil row escalated at the start of this year, when the Kurds began pumping oil through their pipeline to Ceyhan, and Baghdad declared the exports were “illegal.”

The central government has said that the revenues from the Kurdish oil sales must be controlled by Iraq’s own State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO). When the Kurds insisted on controlling sales and revenues, Baghdad cut off the KRG from the national budget.

Last week, KRG Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani said in exclusive interview with Rudaw that Kurdish oil would be sold in early May. He said that, until now Kurdish oil was stored at Ceyhan but not sold, and that the selling would begin in early May.

The MNR adviser said that the statements by Barzani and Yildiz were quite obvious: “Kurdistan will sell oil at the beginning of this month.”

According to Yildiz, stored Kurdish oil at tanks in Ceyhan now totals 1.8 million barrels, close to the total storage capacity of 2.5 million barrels.

The Kurdish advisor said that Erbil has taken the step of resuming exports and beginning sales after Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki took the strong step of cutting off budget payments to Kurdistan.

As a sign of “goodwill,” and after intensive US mediation, the KRG had agreed to export 100,000 bpd via the Iraq-Turkey pipeline (ITP), starting April 1. But that did not happen because of technical problems with the ITP and constant sabotage of the pipeline by Sunni insurgent groups.

So far, there has been no comment from Baghdad about the KRG’s latest declared intention of beginning oil sales imminently. In the past, Baghdad has been quick to comment on Kurdish moves over oil exports and sales.

Baghdad has threatened to sue any company lifting Kurdish oil at Ceyhan.

The resumption of Kurdish oil exports comes just two days after Iraq held its legislative elections. Preliminary results show the formation of the next government will be a daunting and lengthy process, as religious and ethnic forces that have been at serious odds with Maliki try to come together in a government.

According to the formula the KRG has proposed, the revenues from oil sales are to be divided between Erbil and Baghdad. The Kurds would get 17 percent of the revenues, equal to their constitutional share of the budget. The rest would go to the federal government, after five percent is given to Kuwait for reparations and compensation that Iraq is obliged to make under UN resolutions.

Is PUK already acting as an opposition in KRG?? i think they will gain more popularity as an opposition rather than ruling party for the next 4 years

PUK official accuses Turkey of selling Kurdish oil cheaply

05.05.2014

Member of Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) leadership council Adel Murad has criticized Kurdish leading party’s oil policies.

In a statement, Murad accused the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) and Turkey of selling Kurdish oil cheaply on the world market.

“Because Kurdish people know little about oil sales, KDP and Turkey want to sell the region’s oil cheaply,” explained Murad.

Murad also explained that recent agreements between the KDP and Gorran (Change Movement) neglect the PUK.

“The recent agreement between KDP and Gorran for the new government have neglected the PUK,” claims Murad.

The statement also read: “no one can ignore the PUK and the new Kurdish Government will not succeed without the PUK”.

He also called on all Kurdish political parties to work on a unified government that every party could be part of.
