What i like about KRG oil policy is employing the local citizens of KRG. Out of 6000 workers in oil sector 98% are local citizens

Local knowledge![]() Scala Alqasalias has climbed the career ladder and is a good example of the important role of local employees in DNO. In both Kurdistan and Yemen the vast majority of the 522 employees are locals and their competencies are essential for DNO's operations. Scala Alqasalias was hired as a secretary. Today she is working as a project engineer and is a key player in the Kurdistan organization. Scala was determined and motivated to climb the career ladder and seized the opportunity to capitalize on her strong foothold and good performance. She also completed an MBA at the Lebanese French University in 2010. "I will utilize this opportunity to demonstrate that females can play an essential role in shaping DNO's activities in the South Kurdistan and elsewhere," Alqasalias says. |

Defiant Kurds to truck more crude to Turkey-Genel * Exports to Turkey from Taq Taq field to rise up to 20,000 bpd * Genel says happy to finance new proposed Kurdistan-Turkey pipeline * Taq Taq-Khurmala pipeline seen operational in mid-Feb By Humeyra Pamuk ABU DHABI, Jan 9 (Reuters) - Trucked exports of crude oil from Kurdistan to Turkey may reach 20,000 barrels per day (bpd) in a few weeks, the chief executive of Genel Energy said, in a growing trade that central government in Baghdad sees as illegal. The export of crude from the Taq Taq oil field by truck to Turkey shows the Kurdistan Regional Government's (KRG) growing frustration with Baghdad as it moves towards greater economic independence. "The KRG has given us approval to begin trucking relatively small volumes of crude," Genel CEO Tony Hayward told reporters on Wednesday, adding that exports of the oil would probably rise to 10,000-20,000 bpd in the next few weeks. Taq Taq produces around 100,000 bpd and 35,000 bpd is fed into the Bazian refinery. Genel Energy has a 45 percent stake in the field and apart from the direct exports to Turkey, the majority of the oil is shipped to local refineries. Hayward, former head of oil major BP, said the Anglo-Turkish company he now leads was going to be compensated for the oil shippped to Turkey by the KRG, which will receive oil products from Turkey in return for the crude. "Because Kurdistan is short of some particular products, gasoline mainly, they are sending their oil to Turkey and taking products in exchange," he said in an interview with Reuters. The KRG halted exports through the Baghdad-controlled Iraq-Turkey pipeline last month in a dispute over payments to oil companies operating in Kurdistan, and officials in Baghdad say such a unilateraly move to increase the trade of Kurdish oil could make it even more difficult to reach a deal on payments. Genel's activities proceed on track nevertheless. A new 75 km pipeline linking the Taq Taq oilfield to Khurmala - the entry point to the existing Kirkuk-Ceyhan export infrastructure - should be up and running soon, Hayward said. "It'll be mechanically completed by the end of the month and should be fully operational in mid-February." If Baghdad and the KRG reach an agreement, the new link would make exports through the federal pipeline system easier. Talks over a new proposed pipeline that will link Kurdistan's oil fields to the Turkish border, which the KRG had pledged to put in place in 2013, are also ongoing, Hayward said. "We have said to KRG that we'd be very happy to finance it and we're still in discussions on how to proceed." Such a pipeline would cost around $150 million, he said, adding that Genel, which has $1 billion in cash, would comfortably finance that. He said the construction could start in the first half of the year given KRG's target to have it operational by the end of the year. NO INTENTION TO SURRENDER For over a year, Kurdistan has upset Baghdad by signing deals with oil majors such as Exxon Mobil and Chevron , providing lucrative production-sharing contracts and better operating conditions than in Iraq's south. The KRG says its right to grant contracts to foreign oil firms is enshrined in the Iraqi constitution, drawn up following the 2003 invasion that ousted Sunni dictator Saddam Hussein. Baghdad said last month it would not pay oil firms operating in Kurdistan because the region had failed to export the volume of crude it pledged under a deal struck in September. That agreement stipulated that Kurdistan would pump crude through the Baghdad-controlled Iraq-Turkey pipeline in return for payment. Hayward said KRG was left frustrated by not getting paid by Baghdad for the oil it sold and not receiving the oil products that Kurdistan says it is entitled to and is short of. "I think they have been very clear they have no intention of surrendering what they consider to be their right to manage their own oil and gas. They've also been very clear if they can't find any accommodation with Baghdad about how to do that which so far seems to have eluded both parties, they would do their own thing," he said. Baghdad transferred an initial sum of 650 billion Iraqi dinars ($560 million) to the KRG. But a second payment is still pending for the foreign companies in Kurdistan. |

it appears that the pipeline (oil & gas) will be built starting from Suli going thru Kerkûk ,Hewlêr to Duhok. the major line and branches is currently under construction but to connect to to turkey from Duhok will be left to the end of the year, i'd say that is the last thing which is holding us together with shithole iraq, once that's done so is iraq. |

OH NO , no more threatening please as they have turned out to be very damaging Baghdad threatens oil companies dealing with KRG 12/01/2013 : 12:33:04 Iraq is threatening to seize oil exports made without its consent and sue companies dealing in what it sees as contraband crude just days after the country's self-rule Kurdistan region began unilaterally exporting oil. A spokesman for Iraq's Kurdistan region confirmed Friday that the largely autonomous territory has begun shipping oil to Turkey in the past few days. Safeen Dizayee declined to say how much was being hauled into Turkey by truck, but said it is "more than a few tankers a day." The move appears to have triggered Baghdad's threat. A statement quietly posted Thursday on the website of the State Oil Marketing Organization warns that Iraq may confiscate what it sees as contraband oil cargoes and sue sellers, buyers and companies that transport the crude. |

Genel Energy Starts Kurdish Oil Export, Bypasses State Links Genel Energy Plc (GENL) has started shipping crude from South Kurdistan into Turkey, two weeks after exports from the semi-autonomous area were halted. The Kurdistan Regional Government has authorized exports from Genel’s Taq Taq oil field, Andrew Benbow, a company spokesman, said today in an e-mail. Ali Hussein Balou, an adviser to the KRG natural resources minister, declined to comment on the matter. The KRG, feuding with the Iraqi central government over disputed land and energy revenue, stopped transporting crude via the central government-run pipeline network on Dec. 22. The federal government owes 350 billion dinars ($300 million) to companies working in the Kurdistan region, Deputy Finance Minister Fadhel Nabi in the federal government said on Dec. 30. The Kurdistan Regional Government won’t resume exports through the central government pipeline network until the federal authorities pay dues owed to international companies working in the Kurdish area, Balou said. International companies such has Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) and Total SA (FP) have been caught in the dispute between the Kurdish authorities and the central government, which doesn’t recognize contracts signed by the KRG without its permission. The tensions have led to previous halts in exports from the Kurdistan region and payment delays to companies operating in the area. Selling Locally Gulf Keystone Petroleum Ltd. (GKP), which has production in the semi-autonomous area, isn’t exporting crude and sells only in the domestic market, said Henry Lerwill, a company spokesman in London. DNO International ASA (DNO) also sells into the local market, spokesman Tom Bratlie said by phone, declining to comment on whether the company had plans to start moving oil by truck through Turkey in the future. Kurdish authorities plan to complete oil and gas pipelines running direct to Turkey in the next two years, Natural Resources Minister Ashti Hawrami said Sept. 24. Kurdistan plans to raise crude output to 250,000 barrels a day this year and 1 million barrels a day in 2015, KRG Prime Minister Nechirvan Idris Barzani said Dec. 3. |

Baghdad: ,Iraq plans tough measures against the country’s South Kurdistan and foreign oil companies working there to stop “illegal” crude exports in an escalation of its standoff with the autonomous enclave, the oil minister said in an interview on Tuesday. Oil exports and contracts are at the heart of a wider dispute over territory, oilfields and political autonomy between Baghdad’s Arab-led government and Kurdistan, where ethnic Kurds run their own regional administration. Abdul Kareem Luaibi said Baghdad intends to sue Genel Energy—the first company to export oil directly from Kurdistan—and may slash the government’s allocated budget to the region unless it halts what he rejected as smuggling. Speaking from his office in the oil ministry in Baghdad, Luaibi said it was “high time” for the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) to stop “this very dangerous behaviour”. Luaibi also revealed a preliminary agreement with oil major BP to revive the giant but ageing northern Kerkûk oil field, which—apart from being at the centre of a feud between Kurdistan and Iraq—is suffering massive output declines. Iraq’s government insists it alone has the sole authority to export crude oil and sign deals, but Kurdistan says the constitution allows it to agree to contracts and ship oil independently of Baghdad. Kurdistan has upset Baghdad by signing deals directly with oil majors such as Exxon Mobil and Chevron, providing lucrative production-sharing contracts and better operating conditions than in the south. Last week, the KRG gave permission to Genel to truck exports directly from Kurdistan’s Taq Taq oilfield to Turkey, bypassing the federal pipeline system linking Kerkûk with the Turkish Mediterranean port of Ceyhan. The trade is small, but symbolic. Baghdad responded swiftly. Iraq’s state-run oil marketer SOMO issued a statement saying it had the right to take legal action against companies exporting crude independently of the central government. “We are going to proceed with judicial proceedings against this company and all others dealing with smuggled oil,” said Luaibi. “It’s our right to stop them.” He said the ministry, via SOMO, has sent a letter to Anglo-Turkish explorer Genel detailing its position. Genel declined comment. Delayed oil payments The move to truck oil directly to Turkey came after Kurdistan exports were halted via the Baghdad-controlled Iraq-Turkey pipeline due to a dispute over central government payments to oil companies working in Kurdistan. Baghdad has made one payment in 2012 to companies, but Iraqi officials said last month they would not pay oil firms a second installment because Kurdistan had failed to reach agreed production under a deal made in September. Luaibi said that may prompt the central government to cut back on the 17% of the federal budget it allocates to Kurdistan for its share of national oil production. “The KRG is trafficking a considerable amount of oil through Turkey and Iran. This is very dangerous behaviour that violates the terms of the constitution,” said Luaibi. “We can’t carry on paying 17% of the budget to the region with this continued misconduct. The cabinet may decide to cut the 17% (unless the KRG restarts exports through the federal system),” he said. Exxon face-off Kurdistan’s deals with oil majors like Exxon have also prompted the central government to warn companies they may risk losing their assets in the south of the country. Baghdad issued Exxon an us-or-them ultimatum a year ago - the US major opted to sell its 60% stake in the West Qurna-1 oilfield in southern Iraq and China National Petroleum Corp (CNPC) has emerged as the front-runner to buy it. Luaibi said Exxon had yet to inform the ministry of oil as to whether it had found a buyer. “The subject is not settled yet,” he said. “There will be no retreat from the ministry of oil. Our position is very clear: We would be very happy for them to stay at West Qurna, provided they cancel all their contracts with the KRG.” Despite the tension, output growth at West Qurna-1, where Royal Dutch Shell is minority partner, continues, he said. “The contract is going smoothly - there is good progress,” said the oil minister, with production running at about 400,000 barrels per day (bpd). Luaibi said he saw growing instability in the so-called disputed territories, the ethnically mixed areas where both Baghdad and Kurdistan claim jurisdiction, and where some of Exxon’s fields are located. “Exxon is going to face real opposition from the residents of those regions,” he said. “I have personally informed them accordingly.” Working in Kurdistan would cause “great harm” to Exxon’s reputation, not least because the region is marketing its crude oil through “smuggling” via Turkey and Iran, he said. Kurdistan is expected to provide 250,000 bpd to Iraq’s 2013 oil export target of 2.9 million bpd. Luaibi said Iraq’s exports and production would fall accordingly without the Kurdish crude. In 2012, the KRG was to contribute 175,000 bpd to the federal budget, but handed an average of 61,000 bpd, resulting in a loss of $4.5 billion, he said. Fast growth Iraq, the world’s fastest growing oil exporter, still expects impressive gains this year, he said, with production due to start up at the southern oilfields of Majnoon, operated by Shell and Garraf, which is run by Malaysia’s Petronas. After stagnating for decades because of war and sanctions, Iraq’s oil output began to rise sharply in 2010 after Baghdad secured service contracts with companies such as BP, Eni , Exxon and Shell. Production averaged 2.9 million bpd last year, with exports of 2.4 million - growth of 600,000 bpd since the expansion. Luaibi and a ministry team have revised plateau production rates at core southern oilfields in line with a lower overall target of 9 million bpd, versus an original 12 million. The target for West Qurna-2, operated by LUKOIL, has been revised to 1.2 million bpd versus an original 1.8 million bpd, said Luaibi. The amended contract - which has been extended to 25 years from 20 - will be signed on Thursday. LUKOIL would like a Chinese company, possibly CNPC, to succeed Norwegian group Statoil as its partner in West Qurna-2 and Luaibi said the ministry had no objection. Revised production targets have also been agreed for Majnoon and Zubair, run by Eni, and the amended contracts will be signed in the coming weeks, he said. The target for Iraq’s biggest southern oilfield Rumaila, where BP is in charge, is now under negotiation. BP, which enjoys first-mover advantage at Rumaila, will also have leverage at the Kerkûk oilfield, where output slumped to 280,000 bpd from 900,000 bpd in 2001 after years of injecting water and dumping unwanted crude and products into the field. “Yesterday we sent the basic principles of the agreement to the Council of Ministers for approval,” he said. “BP’s plan is to stop the decline in a very short time and then to increase production.” Iraqi officials have said they would like BP to raise capacity at this 77-year old workhorse to around 600,000 bpd in five years. At the start, BP will make a “special allocation” of $100 million to help stop Kerkûk’s decline and carry out surveys to get a clear picture of the field. “We have made a proposal for short-term assistance which they appear to like and we’re progressing on from that,” said Michael Townshend, President of BP in Iraq. “It’s early days.” The initiative comes as Baghdad aims to strengthen its position in a dispute with Kurdistan over ownership of northern Iraqi fields. But Luaibi said politics was not a factor. Kerkûk is composed of three main geological formations, or domes: Khurmala (controlled by the KRG), Baba and Avana. BP would be working at Baba and Avana, said Luaibi. “It’s very important the ministry is not dealing on a political level,” he said. “This is about the technical well-being of the oilfield.” Baghdad: ,Iraq plans tough measures against the country’s South Kurdistan and foreign oil companies working there to stop “illegal” crude exports in an escalation of its standoff with the autonomous enclave, the oil minister said in an interview on Tuesday.

Statement On Oil & Gas Policy by the Kurdistan Regional Government THU, 17 JAN 2013 16:54 | KRG.org The Kurdistan Regional Government is proud of the achievements of its oil and gas industry since the fall of the former regime in 2003. It expects the federal government of Iraq to be proud of them, too. Since oil exports from the Region started in 2009, billions of dollars have flowed into Iraq’s treasury from fields in Kurdistan that have been explored, discovered and developed under the KRG’s modern, progressive and investor-friendly petroleum regime. All this has been achieved by attracting world-class companies to the Region with minimal financial risk to the Iraqi state. One would think that federal officials in Baghdad would embrace the progress made in the South Kurdistan and value the contribution to the nation’s wealth. One would think that federal officials would recognize the use of the Regions’ natural gas to provide electricity to its people and those of hard-pressed neighbouring provinces. One would think that federal authorities would applaud the KRGs plans to create a northern energy corridor for Iraq, whereby up to 3 million barrels a day could soon be flowing through the north of Iraq to Turkey and international markets beyond, and the revenues are shared by all Iraqis. It is disappointing, therefore, to learn that the federal oil minister in Baghdad has taken it upon himself to air to an international news agency a number of hostile political opinions about the KRG and its prudent and constitutionally sound management of the natural resources that lie within the territory it administers. In a series of ill-judged remarks to Reuters, the federal minister of oil: * threatens to cut the KRG’s share of the federal budget; * threatens companies active in Kurdistan for pursuing their legal right under the PSCs to market the oil and gas that they have discovered; * threatens other companies for exercising their legal right to explore for oil and gas; * appears to incite violence in the disputed territories; * accuses the KRG of oil “smuggling” and “trafficking”. In addition, he reveals details of an illegal and unconstitutional plan to allegedly allow BP to enhance the recovery of some of the depleted fields in Kirkuk (a disputed territory under Article 140) without consulting and obtaining approval of the other parties to the dispute. COOPERATION NOT CONFRONTATION Iraq’s citizens are simply tired of this sort of language of threat and intimidation, which in the cynical pursuit of narrow political agendas serves only to create division and strife. The minister does not even speak for the whole federal government. Such remarks reflect a lack of respect for the Constitution of Iraq and also for the people of Kurdistan. They represent a degree of panic and desperation. It would appear the overriding philosophy is that if your own policies have failed, lash out and blame others. Good governance and the delivery of essential services are what should matter to the state’s senior officials, not the accumulation of power for powers’ sake. Citizens of Iraq know all too well the dangers of allowing the country’s abundant oil and gas resources, and its revenues, to fall under the control of a handful of misguided people in Baghdad. The country will only thrive on a diet of cooperation and coordination, not on confrontation. That is what the basic law of the land, the Constitution, demands. LEGAL ISSUES In terms of oil and gas management, the KRG firmly believes in, and abides by, the letter and spirit of Iraq’s permanent, federal Constitution, which was ratified by the majority of Iraqi people in a nationwide referendum in 2005. The federal Constitution gives primacy to regional law except in areas listed under the exclusive powers of the federal authorities. Oil and gas are not listed under the exclusive powers of the federal government. All oil contracts in the Region fall within the KRG oil and gas law, debated and passed by the Kurdistan parliament in 2007 and fully in line with the relevant provisions of the permanent Constitution. The Constitution not only outlines the current and future roles for federal and regional powers in the management of Iraq’s oil and gas, it endorses past authorities as well. There were oil and gas contracts with the KRG entered into before the coming into force of the Constitution and providing for future exploration, appraisal, and potentially, production. Under Article 141, all such contracts entered into by Kurdistan since 1992 are considered valid in accordance with their terms. Under the Constitution, all non-producing fields (at the time of its writing) fall under the sole power of the regions and governorates and therefore contracts were signed between the KRG and the IOCs. Neither the federal government nor the federal oil minister is a party to these contracts, so the Minister has no jurisdiction to take any legal action against PSC holders. The Production Sharing Contracts in the South Kurdistan have been a great success for Iraq. They have meant that an estimated 45 billion barrels of oil and 3-6 tcm of gas can be added to Iraq’s total reserve figures. KIRKUK LICENSES The alleged agreement with BP on a plan to reverse the decline of oilfields of Kirkuk is another unconstitutional and illegal move announced by the minister. According to Article 112 of the Constitution: The federal government, with the producing governorates and regional governments shall undertake the management of oil and gas extracted from present fields, provided that it distributes its revenues in a fair manner… and this shall be regulated by a law., The term “present fields” refers to fields already under production at the date of the Constitution (October 2005). Kirkuk is one such field. The management of the Kirkuk field therefore must be undertaken by the federal authorities, the governorate, and because it is part of the process outlined under Article 140, the KRG. Because none of this has happened, the federal oil minister cannot act unilaterally, and no wise company would make itself a party to such a dispute. The federal oil minister makes threatening noises about violence in the disputed territories. “SMUGGLING” The minister also makes several insulting references to “smuggling” and “trafficking”. We trust that this is not a slur against the people of Kurdistan. The KRG respectfully suggests that the federal oil minister consults the dictionary. One of the primary definitions of “smuggle” is: “to convey (goods) clandestinely into (or out of) a country.” However, the trade in oil and gas across Iraq’s borders occurs as a result of official regional government policy. There is nothing clandestine or underhand about it. Under the September 13 agreement, co-signed by Minister Luaibi, the KRG is entitled to 17 percent of Iraq’s refined products plus a further 17 percent of the crude oil in Iraq that is sent to burn in the power stations. The people of Kurdistan and surrounding provinces are benefitting from the supply of products and power generated as a result of the KRG’s results-driven energy policy. Baghdad does not supply the Region with its entitlement to refined products, therefore the KRG trades quantities of crude and condensate and fuel oil in a barter arrangement for diesel, kerosene and benzene. This trade counts as part of the Region’s 17 percent entitlement and is fully documented and accounted for. It provides real help to Iraq’s citizens. In any case, according to the federal Law of Anti-Smuggling of Oil and Oil products (No. 41 of 2008), “it is prohibited to carry oil and oil products by any land, marine or river means of transportation unless getting an official permission from the Ministry of Oil or the relevant entity in the region.” The “relevant entity” in this case is the Ministry of Natural Resources in Kurdistan, which issues export licenses and controls and documents the process in a manner consistent with the principles of the Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative (EITI). The KRG will continue to legally and professionally export oil and products, in line with its rights under the Constitution. BUDGET AND REVENUE ISSUES After decades of oppression, dictatorship, and war, revenue sharing, power sharing and decentralization are the obvious keys to Iraq’s future unity. Thus, our regional government believes in the Constitution as it is, not as its opponents would wish it to be. Article 111 of Iraq’s constitution clearly states that oil and gas belong to “all the people of Iraq in all the regions and governorates.” It does not state that the oil and gas belongs either to the federal Ministry of Oil or the illegal and unaccountable monopoly of the state oil marketing organization (SOMO), which was created by Saddam Hussein. Nevertheless, the ownership of the oil and gas in Iraq is without prejudice to its management and to the distribution of its revenues. And nowhere does the Constitution state that either the management or export of oil and gas from Iraq are the exclusive preserve of the federal authorities. The KRG’s opponents know this, which is why their statements are often cynically designed to deceive and mislead the general public. The threat to cut the KRG’s share of the federal budget therefore is not only senseless but empty. The federal oil minister is stepping well beyond his remit in speaking about the federal budget, creating yet another smokescreen for the incompetency of his ministry and of the federal administration. Had it not been for the federal government’s obstructionist policies, the South Kurdistan could now be exporting 500,000 barrels per day or some $18 billion per year. That is more than enough to cover the KRG’s annual budget of around $10 billion and provide extra billions for the people of Iraq. This is in addition to the wasteful, costly and environmentally damaging oil ministry policy of gas flaring which has cost Iraqis an estimated $10 billion in lost revenue every year since 2003. The mismanagement of oil and gas resources by the federal authority and its lack of respect for the Constitution and the many agreements it has signed, has cost Iraq not just billions of dollars of potential revenue but also myriad opportunities for national reconciliation. Iraq really cannot afford to sustain these losses for much longer. The KRG remains committed to Iraq’s Constitution, and is organizing its oil and gas industry in a professional and modern way. It will thus continue to move unwaveringly forward and not allow itself be sidetracked by cheap and counterproductive attempts at political sabotage. The KRG’s stability, its economic dynamism and investor-friendly policies, plus its patience and flexibility on the political front, have been crucial factors in shepherding Iraq through the turbulent waters since the removal of the dictatorship in 2003. Kurdish leaders have tried to prevent Iraq from descending into sectarian conflicts, and have consistently avoided taking sides in any internal strife. Had it not been for their role, one can only guess what unknown fate would have beset the country. |

Kurdistan defends oil policy, reject BP Kirkuk deal with Iraq ERBIL-Hewlêr, South Kurdistan — Kurdistan has defended its oil policy with foreign companies and its crude trade barter with Turkey as constitutional, and rejected a initial deal between Baghdad and BP to develop an oilfield in the disputed city of Kirkuk. The statement came after Iraq's oil minister told Reuters Baghdad's central government would sue companies exporting crude from Kurdistan, warned of cuts to autonomous region's federal budget and announced an accord with BP for Kirkuk oilfield. Iraq's Arab-led central government and Kurdistan Regional Government or KRG run by ethnic Kurds are locked in a widening dispute over control of oil revenues, oilfields and territory that is fraying the country's uneasy federal union. "Iraq's citizens are simply tired of this sort of language of threat and intimidation, which in the cynical pursuit of narrow political agendas serves only to create division and strife," the KRG said in a statement on its website. "In terms of oil and gas management, the KRG firmly believes in, and abides by, the letter and spirit of Iraq's permanent, federal constitution." Speaking to Reuters on Wednesday, Oil Minister Abdul Kareem Luaibi said Baghdad intends to sue Genel Energy - the first company to export oil directly from Kurdistan - and may slash the government's allocated 17 percent budget to the region unless it halts what he rejected as smuggling. Luaibi announced a preliminary agreement with BP to revive the giant northern Kirkuk oil field, which - apart from being at the centre of the fight between Kurdistan and Iraq - is suffering massive output declines. "He reveals details of an illegal and unconstitutional plan to allegedly allow BP to enhance the recovery of some of the depleted fields in Kirkuk... without consulting and obtaining approval of the other parties to the dispute," the KRG statement said. The feud between Baghdad and the Kurdistan enclave, which has run its own regional administration and armed forces since 1991, has escalated since the KRG began signing oil deals with oil majors Exxon Mobil and Chevron to develop fields. Iraq's government claims it alone has the constitutional authority to export crude oil and sign deals, but Kurdistan says the constitution allows it to agree to contracts and ship oil independently of Baghdad.

yeah, after the meeting Exxon executive announced "we will continue our work in the fields we currently have through out the country". baghdad lost from stopping Exxon deals with Kurdistan, and in the end it was baghdad that kneed to Exxon demands not vice versa. Exxon is a super giant and knows what it is doing and its deals with Kurdistan is 100% according to the law, if baghdad was in the right they would have taken Exxon to an international court but baghdad knows it will lose that fight. now they want Exxon to continue work in WQ, but i dont know if the Exxon dudes would want to since they have said before "we are not welcomed by the southern iraqis we can feel it when we worked there". Exxon has the power of the US army without the fire power, so if you mess with Exxon you are messing with the best and you better be prepared to take on a super giant, headless persian origin iraqi minister shahristani thought he would outsmart these fellas :lolz: |

Kurdistan compensates the owners of lands that contain oil Shafaq News / Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) decided on Wednesday, to compensate all farmers who have been affected by the discovery of oil in their lands and have been exploited by oil companies to produce oil. Sven Dazia, the official spokesman of KRG said in a statement reported for "Shafaq News", that "the Prime Minister of KRG, Nichervan Barzani issued a decision to compensate all the farmers in which oil was discovered in their lands and have been ere taken by foreign oil companies." "The compensations will include farmers, including those who do not have original documents but the lands have been theirs and inherited from their fathers and grandfathers." Dazia "According to this decision, the oil companies should pay compensation to the farmers who are the owners of the lands," adding that "several specialized committees have been formed from the concerned ministries to find a mechanism and determine the amount of compensation that will be paid to farmers." According to this decision these farmers will be compensated in the same time contracts will be signed with them to use their land for the production of oil and their agricultural contracts will continue also with the Ministry of Agriculture and Water Resources. It is worth mentioning that many international and local oil companies in South Kurdistan in the areas of exploration, production and export of oil from oil fields in South Kurdistan, despite objections from the federal government in Baghdad and its continued threats to place them in the black lists and not to deal with it in other parts of Iraq.

Exxon moves in right way, Kurdish deals pending - Iraq official BAGHDAD | Wed Jan 23, 2013 6:34am EST BAGHDAD, Jan 23 (Reuters) - Exxon Mobil is moving "along the right path" after meeting with Iraq's Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, but must deal with its disputed Kurdistan deals before any final agreement on it staying in southern oilfields, an Iraqi oil official said. Exxon had been seeking to pull out of the country's huge West Qurna 1 oilfield after fighting with Baghdad's central government over deals it signed with autonomous Kurdistan in the north, contracts Iraq's oil ministry rejects as illegal. Exxon's top executive on Monday met with Maliki and industry sources said the Iraqi government has made an offer to Exxon now in an apparent bid to keep the U.S. company working in the southern field. "After the meeting with Maliki, we can now say that Exxon is moving along the right course the central government has set for foreign oil companies working in the country," the Iraqi oil source said without giving any details. "At the same time we understand Exxon has to fix its issues with the Kurdistan Regional Government before we can reach a final agreement on continuing working in the south." I hope they dont take Bagdads offer... |

Kirkuk Governor rejects new oil exploration by BP in Kirkuk. as the so called constitution says new exploration in disputed areas must be done by consultation with the province the oil exploring is taking place. it will never happen since there is no iraqi forces in those places, except for Hawija, Asaish and Peshmerga will never protect BP workers and etc thus they will be easy target for terrorists .

if you think about it, KRG is taking all of Kirkuk's oil (aka 17% of baghdad budget). say 1 billion USD per month, 1 year equals 12 billion USD and that is what KRG has been getting the whole time. this 17% will only stop once Kirkuk officially is annexed to KRG. so KRG is taking all of Kirkuk's oil not Basra as the iraqi gangs claim on ssc. basically we have Kirkuk minus Hawija district under control with our army, our majority population, 1921/1957 censuses, its entire oil income etc.. just not an official part of KRG yet. Oil income of Kirkuk in December estimated at 1.56 billion US dollars On Monday January 21, the Iraqi Ministry of Oil revealed the incomes and profits of the oil production in December of 2012, which is estimated at one billion and 56 million US dollars. One of the oil fields of Kirkuk The spokesman of the Iraqi Ministry of Oil, Asim Jihad announced, “The oil export of Kirkuk in December reached ten million and one hundred thousand barrels which is priced at one billion and 56 million US dollars.” “The total oil export of Iraq in December of 2012 reached nearly 73 million barrels yielding seven billion and 551 million US dollars,” Jihad further added. According to his statement, the mean price for one barrel in December was 103 dollars and 72 cents. The oil and products have been exported by 30 companies through different ports in Arabian Gulf and Turkey. Kirkuk Now |
