South Kurdistan says will sue Baghdad if it blocks oil sales 4.7.2014 ERBIL-Hewlêr, South Kurdistan 'KRG',— Iraq's autonomous South Kurdistan has hit back at Baghdad over independent oil exports, a letter from the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) showed, threatening to counter sue the central government for trying to block its sales. The strongly worded letter shows growing confidence from the Kurdish capital Erbil in the long-running oil sales dispute, as Baghdad struggles to regain control of swathes of territory lost to a Sunni Islamic militant insurgency. The letter, addressed to Iraqi Oil Minister Abdul Karim Luaibi from KRG Natural Resource Minister Ashti Hawrami, said the Kurds would pursue legal action by the middle of this month if Baghdad does not stop its "interference". "(The) KRG will bring civil, and where necessary, criminal proceedings against your Ministry and any person, foreign advisor, or any entity conspiring with your Ministry in any form," Hawrami wrote, in the letter dated June 29 and carried on a KRG website. He did not specify a court for the action. The autonomous South Kurdistan has been trying to establish greater financial independence from Baghdad by selling its own oil production directly onwww.Ekurd.net international markets. It has largely been spared the violence affecting much of Iraq. Baghdad has cut the KRG's budget since January over the dispute, arguing the sales are illegal, and has repeatedly threatened to sue any firm that buys oil from the autonomous region. But since the KRG took control of the northern oil hub of Kirkuk amid the retreat of the Iraqi military from the Islamic State-led insurgency, the autonomous region has been emboldened. On Thursday, the president of Iraq's Kurdish north asked the region's parliament to prepare the way for a referendum on its long-saught goal of independence. In the letter, Hawrami said Baghdad has treated the 2005 Iraqi constitution with "contempt", arguing it was designed to allow the autonomous South Kurdistan to export its own oil. "These actions of your Ministry are clearly politically motivated, hostile, illegitimate, and without constitutional basis, and contrary to the fundamental interests of the people of Iraq," the letter said. BAGHDAD SUPREME COURT The KRG has also been buoyed by a ruling by Iraq's Federal Supreme Court, which denied Iraq's Oil Ministry request for a preliminary injunction against the KRG's exports. Hawrami said this is evidence they are permitted to export their own oil under the country's 2005 constitution, though Baghdad has dismissed their interpretation of the Supreme Court ruling. "This Court decision requires you to ensure that your Ministry immediately desists from any further actions to directly or indirectly interfere with the KRG's export of crude oil," Hawrami said in the letter. Iraq's oil ministry called the KRG's stance on the ruling "false and misleading" saying in a statement the court made "no ruling on the substance of the case". Tensions between the Kurdish regional capital Erbil and Baghdad have increased since the start-up of a new KRG-controlled pipeline to the Turkish port of Ceyhan in May. The autonomous region has been exporting around 125,000 barrels per day to Ceyhan on the line, with plans to shortly double that number, but so far it has struggled to sell some of the tankers as potential buyers come under pressure from Baghdad. Of the four tankers that have loaded the KRG's pipeline oil since May, only one has successfully delivered into an Israeli port after executing a ship-to-ship transfer in the Mediterranean. The buyer has not yet been revealed. The KRG has denied selling oil to Israel. Copyright ©, respective author or news agency, Reuters |

Erbil Announces Fuel Rationing, Plans for Two Refineries By Alexander Whitcomb and Raed Asad Ahmed ERBIL, South Kurdistan - Hit hard by gasoline shortages caused by fighting at Iraq’s largest oil refinery at Baiji, the South Kurdistan has announced it will build two new refineries of its own in a move towards energy independence. The only hitch is it’s not happening anytime soon. Ashti Hawrami, the minister of natural resources, was called to the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Parliament on Monday to account for the fuel crisis. “We have plans to launch two refineries in Dohuk and Garmiyan, but it takes two to three years to do so,” he told lawmakers. Scheduled improvements to existing refineries will also increase capacity over the next two years. In the meantime, the KRG must ration fuel supplies and encourage private companies to import gasoline to substitute for Baiji. Eighty percent of domestically-produced gasoline will be distributed to citizens through a coupon system. The other 20 percent is allocated for government departments and Peshmerga military forces. Traders will be allowed to import gas from abroad, but the government has pledged to cap prices and regulate fuel quality. Jihadi-led Sunni insurgents that have captured mostly northern territories, and are in control of a third of Iraq, also have been fighting to capture the Baiji refinery in Salahaddin province. Fighting at the complex has been ongoing for the past several weeks, with conflicting reports about whether it is in government control or has been taken over by the militants, led by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). Hawrami explained that the current crisis was intensified by the generous gasoline subsidies provided by the government. Because commercial prices are significantly higher in Turkey, traders were buying Kurdish gasoline and taking it to market across the border. He complained oil was being smuggled out of the region, only to be resold to the government at higher cost as “imported oil.” According to his estimation, a third of Kurdistan’s fuel was being sold on the black market. Fighting by ISIS militants cut off the Baiji supply at the same time that demand for oil products spiked. Military mobilization, territorial expansion and a massive influx of refugees all led to a rise in fuel consumption in the region. Dramatically diminished supply and increased demand were amplified by panic and black market speculation, resulting in enormous queues at Kurdish pumps over the last weeks. Hawrami also indicated that artificially low prices caused undesirable market distortions, even before the crisis hit. “There are more than 50,000 vehicles in the South Kurdistan that belong to oil companies, consulates and foreign missions that operate in Kurdistan and benefit from gas subsidies,” he said. According to him, driving had become too cheap even for the intended recipients of the subsidies, the Kurdish lower and middle classes. While they deserved a subsidy, most poor people “do not have private cars -- they use public transportation or cabs instead.” He pointed to the fact that many families have two cars, the hallmark of a developed country, despite the fact that the South Kurdistan still has a relatively low income per capita. If the crisis effectively reduces state subsidies -- people invariably become more reliant on privately traded gasoline -- there are a few upsides, Hawrami reasoned. “Iran’s environment and economy improved greatly after they removed their gas subsidy regime,” Hawrami told the room of skeptical MPs. When Iran increased gas costs (once set at $0.10 a liter), “traffic decreased by 20 percent in Tehran. People began using more public transportation than cars.” http://rudaw.net/english/kurdistan/08072014 |

Dana Gas to provide gas for South Kurdistan 08.07.2014 Shwan Barzinji The Head of Erbil Gas Production Bakhtiyar Abdullah Peshdari revealed that instead of Kirkuk North Gas, Dana Gas would provide liquid gas for the South Kurdistan. In an exclusive interview with BasNews, Peshdari stated that everyday 300 tons of liquid gas arrives to Erbil Gas Production and all the distributors of gas have enough gas to sell to citizens at the same price as usual. Peshdari criticized market supervisors for having allowed the sale of trade gas [private sector] and said: “There shouldn’t be trade gas in the region. The gas doesn’t come from abroad. What we have here is the second hand gas that sells by almost double price. We are not suggesting for no private sector gas, but to have them with the same public price.” He mentioned that during the short gas crisis, with the help of police, they have arrested three individuals for selling overpriced gas while others were hiding gas and waiting for the prices to increase in order to sell it on the market. “We don’t need to import gas from abroad. South Kurdistan’s local liquid gas is quite enough. Soon, we will be able to export South Kurdistan’s gas. What is necessary for now is to not allow anyone to have trade with it, and this is the responsibility of Erbil Mayor and Natural Resources Ministry,” said Peshdari. He noted that gas has been smuggled to the mid and southern provinces of Iraq and said: “Everyday 300,000 tons of liquid gas is produced as well as 30,000 to 35,000 gas cylinder are produced while previously it was 17,000 but due to the crisis the amount has doubled because some has been smuggled to other parts of Iraq.” Peshdari warns people not to keep extra gas in their homes “because it is very dangerous to keep extra gas especially in this hot weather that some of the cylinders have loaded more gas than its standard.” According to Peshdari, they have increased distributing stations and in Erbil they have 125 gas stations. From the beginning of instability in Mosul, Kurdish Peshmerga forces were sent to Kirkuk North Gas to protect it, but yet the amount has been decreased almost by half. Previously, 275 tons of liquid gas was imported from Kirkuk to Erbil everyday but now they only send 100 tons of liquid gas. However now Erbil Gas Production gets 250 tons of liquid gas from Dana Gas in Qadir Karam field and Peshdari stated that no matter how much we want, Dana Gas will provide it and according to him there is no gas crisis in the South Kurdistan. copyright © 2014 basnews |
