Since no one else have. Kurds Reach Partial Oil-Export Deal With Iraq Government By Khalid Al-Ansary and Grant Smith Nov 13, 2014 6:54 PM Iraq’s Kurds announced a partial agreement on oil exports with the country’s federal government, in which the semi-autonomous region’s oil will be exchanged for revenues from the administration in Baghdad. The Kurdistan Regional Government placed 150,000 barrels a day of crude at the disposal of the central government, according to a statement on the KRG’s website today. In return, the Federal government will transfer $500 million to the KRG. Kurdish Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani will lead a delegation to Baghdad in the coming days for further talks, it said. The Kurds’ efforts to sell crude separately from the central government have provoked legal action by authorities in Baghdad. The Kurdish region holds 45 billion barrels of oil reserves, while the rest of Iraq has the world’s fifth-largest known deposits of 150 billion barrels. Iraq’s Kurdish enclave is set to produce 1 million barrels a day of oil by the end of 2015, the regional government said in a Nov. 7 statement. It plans to export 500,000 barrels a day via neighboring Turkey by the end of March, it said. At least nine vessels loaded cargoes of Kurdish crude amounting to about 231,000 barrels a day from the Turkish port of Ceyhan last month, according to tanker tracking data compiled by Julian Lee, an oil strategist at Bloomberg First Word in London. The KRG said yesterday it approved plans to create an oil exploration and production company separate from the central government and a sovereign wealth fund to take in all energy revenue. |

No guarantees Baghdad-Erbil oil deal will stick RBIL, Kurdistan Region - Iraqi and Kurdish leaders struck a deal over the contentious issue of independent Kurdish oil exports in Hewlêr on Thursday, but analysts are skeptical this draws either side closer to a permanent solution. The deal involved an upfront payment of $500 million by Baghdad to pay the salaries of Kurdish civil servants. In return, Kurdistan would provide the federal government 150,000 barrels of Kurdish oil a day. “This covers the month of October,” Iraqi Finance Minister told Rudaw on Thursday. “In November, there will be another payment of $1 billion and the KRG will again hand over 150,000 barrels of oil per day (bpd) to the federal government.” But until the money and oil are delivered, analysts remain cautious, remembering a similar deal that fell apart in March. “It is not a permanent solution, and it is dependent upon both sides implementing it - and this is not at all obvious that it will happen,” said Gareth Stansfield, an Iraq expert at the University of Exeter. Stansfield suggested that both sides were driven to the negotiation table by necessity. “Both sides were in appallingly weak positions,” he said. “It was this shared weakness that allowed them to find a stopgap solution – and that is just what it is.” Both the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and the Iraqi Federal Government are suffering from fiscal pressures. The KRG hasn’t received its share of the national budget since January because of the oil dispute, and both sides are grappling to fund the fight against ISIS amidst falling global oil prices, with oil the largest source of revenue for both parties. The Kurdistan Region has exported 34.5 million barrels of oil since January, but after costs it’s net revenue was only $1.7 million. Before January, the KRG received slightly over a billion dollars a month, roughly 11 percent of the national income. “KRG oil exports, while quite significant, have been nowhere near the levels needed to generate the amounts needed to fund the KRG salaries and projects, the refugee crisis, and the expansion of the Peshmerga (or even the paying of the Peshmerga at a normal level),” Stansfield told Rudaw. “They have been quickly accruing significant amounts of debt and credit lines are becoming more and more difficult to find.” “The issues Baghdad face are similarly acute,” he added. “Due to mismanagement, corruption, and chaos, Baghdad is also financially broken, with very limited reserves, and with the bottleneck of oil in Basra limiting exports.” Other factors push both sides towards a deal. Baghdad and other western powers fighting ISIS has an interest in keeping Kurds engaged in government and ensuring a strong security situation in the country’s north, where Kurdish Peshmerga are defend a 1,050 km border against militant attacks. “Remember there’s huge pressure from the Americans to try and keep the country united and to make concessions to keeping Iraq unified while they all try and tackle the problem of ISIS,” said Michael Stephens of the Royal United Service Institute, a defense think-tank. “For now the last thing anyone needs is Hewlêr and Baghdad bickering over oil, there are bigger problems to solve,” and for that reason he believes “it will hold, for now.” Iraq’s new oil minister, Adil Adbul-Mahdi has had close ties with the Kurds in the past during his term as Vice President and during his time in exile. Zebari credited his “good” relationship with Abdul-Mahdi with having facilitated the agreement. But some remain doubtful that Prime Minister Abadi is interested in finding a permanent solution. “Abdul-Mahdi clearly wanted this, but it is important to note that the people talking about this, none of them are close to Abadi,” says Kirk Sowell, who runs newsletter Inside Iraqi Politics. “I don't see any indication Abadi is prepared to compromise on the lines [former lead negotiator with the KRG over oil policy] Hussein Shahristani laid down in the spring,” namely that the KRG sell the oil through the Iraqi marketing company SOMO, sell at global prices, and accept payment at the Development Fund for Iraq account at the Federal Reserve in New York. Sowell argues that it will only make economic sense for Abadi to strike a deal if the Kurds are selling more than 300,000bpd through the federal system. Likewise the KRG will need far more than $500 million a month to cover their costs, making this agreement only a partial fix for both sides. “It is a goodwill gesture to get [Kurdish Prime Minister] Nechirvan Barzani to come to Baghdad to negotiate,” Sowell says. This does' t necessarily mean that the deal will “open the way” for a lasting solution, as Abdul-Mahdi said in a statement on Friday. Barzani is set to arrive in Baghdad in the “coming days,” according to a KRG press release, where he will negotiate with Abadi himself. Only time will tell if he can accomplish the ambitious and challenging goal of reaching a “comprehensive, fair and constitutional solution to all outstanding differences between the federal government and the KRG.” http://rudaw.net/english/analysis/14112014 |

Kirkuk oil only be exported through Kurdistan Region The head of the Kirkuk Provincial Council, Rebwar Talabani, has said that the only way to export Kirkuk oil is via pipelines through the Kurdistan Region. Once a decision is made to utilize this route, they can sell 400,000 barrels per day. Talabani revealed that they are trying to restart official sales of Kirkuk oil, “The previous pipeline through which Kirkuk oil was sold is under Islamic State control. The only way to export and sell Kirkuk oil is through the Kurdistan Region.” He continued, “Kirkuk has the ability to sell 400,000 oil barrels per day.” Baghdad has agreed to allow Kirkuk’s oil to be piped through Kurdistan as there is no alternative route, and the federal government needs to increase overall oil revenues. http://www.kurdpress.ir/En/Mobile/Detail.aspx?Id=8876 |

Kurdistan Region begins exporting Kirkuk officially By Muhammad Hadi Hewlêr (Hewlêr (Erbil)), Kurdistan Region – The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) has officially begun exporting oil from Kirkuk’s vast oil wells, and a member of the Kurdish parliament says the action is in line with the Iraqi charter and has been carried out with the prior knowledge of the Iraqi government. “The KRG is entitled to 17 per cent of oil revenues in the so-called disputed areas outside the Kurdistan Region and since Kirkuk’s oil fields are connected to Kurdistan’s pipelines, it is appropriate for the KRG to export the oil,” Dilshad Shaaban, head of the Natural Resources Committee in the Kurdish parliament told Rudaw. The KRG exports 150,000 barrels per day (bpd) to the Turkish Ceyhan port through Iraq’s state-owned oil company, SOMO, which will then transfer the revenues directly to the Iraqi central bank in Baghdad. Initially, Kurdistan will receive an installment of $1 billion, but it could eventually lead to a restoration of KRG’s monthly budget which has been withheld by Baghdad since February. “There could be an agreement between Turkey, Iraq and the KRG to export the oil from KRG, including Mosul, Kirkuk and the Kurdistan Region through Kurdistan’s pipeline to Ceyhan in west Turkey. The KRG will then give the Iraqi government 150,000 bpd from Kirkuk oil wells and in return Bagdad will resume Kurdistan’s budget,” predicts Shaaban, who says Iraq is” in desperate need” of increasing its oil production, which has been affected by events in Mosul and Kirkuk. Rudaw has learned that the Turkish Toprasi company -- which was earlier blacklisted by Baghdad -- will purchase the exported oil through SOMO. The deal follows a visit by Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu to Baghdad and Hewlêr (Hewlêr (Erbil)). “I do not think the KRG will give more oil to the Iraqi government than that,” says Dr. Karwan Ismael, who has specialized in Iraqi-Kurdish oil agreements since 2004. “KRG Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani has made it clear that he does not wish to go back to the old centralized system regarding the oil export,” Ismael said. According to official estimates, the oil fields of Zumar and Ain Zala in Mosul province will in the near future be connected to Kurdistan’s pipeline, as 80 per cent of the project is completed, according to official KRG sources. “At the moment both the KRG Ministry of Natural Resources and the Iraqi Northern Oil Company jointly administer the export of oil from Kirkuk,” says Shaaban. Bewar Xinsi, a national security advisor on oil issues to KRG, says Zumar and Ain Zala have roughly 7 billion barrels in oil reserves. “If Kirkuk’s 12-15 billion barrels of reserve and that of Zumar and Ain Zala are added to the KRG total assets, then Kurdistan will have approximately 65 billion barrels of reserves, which will give Kurdistan a strong position in the region,” Xinsi told Rudaw. Officials in Kirkuk’s provincial council say they have no objection to the deal and welcome a KRG-administrated export of their oil. “We have not been able to export any of our oil since February,” says Fuad Hussein, a member of the Kirkuk provincial council. “We have no other option than relying on Kurdistan’s oil pipeline.” http://rudaw.net/english/kurdistan/271120142 |

KRG to Export Natural Gas Soon Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) will export natural gas to in a near future and the head of Industry and Energy in the Kurdistan Parliament says this is a big step for economy of South Kurdistan (KRG). It is expected that the natural gas export follows Kurdish oil export to Cyhan Port in Turkey and the natural gas exportation process will be done through Kurdistan independent oil pipelines with Turkey. “This step is still in the beginning, but the process has not gone into the implementation stage yet, however establishing natural gas program is in our short term plan,” said the head of Industry and Natural Resources Committee Sherko Jawdat to BasNews. “This project has been discussed with KRG’s Natural Resources Minister and it has been translated into a decision, but serious steps remained to be taken,” said Jawdat. Jawdat mentioned that due to having oil establishments in the Kurdistan Region, Kurdish natural gas can be exported but the oil fields and pipelines must be successfully prepared as a pre-condition for that. He continued, “Kurdish Region has 8.3 trillion cubic meter of natural gas reserve.” Commenting on natural gas exportation of Kurdistan Region, Jawdat stated that the gas will be exported via Turkey to Europe to be sold in international markets. http://basnews.com/en/economy/2014/12/04/krg-to-export-natural-gas-soon/ |

South Kurdistan-Turkey gas pipeline to be completed in 2017 December 5, 2014 ERBIL-Hewlêr, Kurdistan region 'KRG',— The director of the energy commission of south Kurdistan Regional Government KRG, Sherko Jawdat, said Friday that the delivery of natural gas will begin when the Erbil-Ceyhan pipeline is completed in 2017. "Initially, 50 million cubic meters of gas will be exported," Jawdat told The Anadolu Agency. "Later on, the amount will be increased to 120 million cubic meters." The autonomous Kurdistan Region is estimated to have 3 trillion cubic meters of natural gas reserves and that makes European countries interested as it represents an alternative to Russian gas, he added. He also said European countries want natural gas to reach Europe through Turkey. "The export of Kurdish gas to the world market is a major economic development that will enable our region to achieve economic prosperity," Jawdat said. "Natural gas export is as significant as oil export." Copyright ©, respective author or news agency, aa.com.tr http://www.ekurd.net/mismas/articles/misc2014/12/state8749.htm |

This Man Is In Charge Of Opening Up One Of The World's Last Oil Frontiers![]() Few oilmen attract as much interest when they visit the UK as Ashti Hawrami. As minister of natural resources for the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) he is in charge of opening up one of the world’s last great onshore frontiers for major exploration. Kurdistan - the semi-autonomous enclave of KRG - excites international oil companies such as Chevron and Tony Hayward’s Genel Energy, because of its vast untapped resources and the attractive contractual terms the authorities are willing to offer to bring in vital foreign investment. “We actually have a contractual model similar to most of the world, it’s just different from the one used in Iraq,” Mr Hawrami told The Sunday Telegraph. “Iraq has a type of oil contract that you only find in Iran and Venezuela, whereas our model is similar to that for the North Sea, for example, based on a shared risk and reward structure. For the newer projects involving exploration and for fields not yet in production, I have no doubt in my mind that the model we have is far better suited to attracting investment.” Mr Hawrami met the UK energy minister Matthew Hancock briefly last week and sees Britain as a key partner for Kurdistan’s burgeoning oil industry. However, his close links with the UK, where he worked as an oil engineer in the North Sea in the 1970s, have also come with some controversy. In 2013 he was cited in evidence used in an insider trading case brought against the high profile City banker Ian Hannam in relation to shares Mr Hawrami bought in Heritage Oil - a client of Mr Hannam at the time. However, Mr Hawrami denied wrongdoing and the then Financial Services Authority found he had broken no rules. In a decade, Kurdistan has gone from being a very high-risk bet to a potential powerhouse with reserves estimated at 45bn barrels and an industry close to producing 1m barrels per day (bpd) of crude in a few years......Read More: Source: http://www.businessinsider.com/this-man-is-in-charge-of-opening-up-one-of-the-worlds-last-oil-frontiers-2014-12 |

Britain is committed to KRG development: energy minister We remain committed to the development of a long-term partnership with the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and the strengthening of commercial, cultural and educational links, British Energy Minister Matthew Hancock said. Addressing the 4th Kurdistan-Iraq Oil and Gas conference, he said: “we remain fully committed to the stability and security of the Kurdish region of Iraq, including its battle against IS. This commitment is shared by my Ministerial colleagues across government. The people of Kurdistan have an important role to play in building the united, peaceful and prosperous Iraq that we all want to see. We applaud the creation of an inclusive government in Baghdad, including senior Kurdish Ministers, Hancock further said. Welcoming the recent agreement reached between the Government of Iraq and the Kurdistan Regional Government on budget allocations and energy exports, he added: this took courage and flexibility by the Government of Iraq and the Kurdistan Regional Government leaders in working through these issues to reach an agreement. This deal will not only pave the way for an increasingly conducive political environment, but will also bring enhanced economic benefits across all of Iraq’s communities. I hope that this agreement will lay the foundation for increased cooperation between the Government of Iraq and the Kurdistan Regional Government in other areas, the British minister went on to say. He also stressed on Kurdistan Region’s impact and influence on oil’s oil export and said the region is not only thought to be one of the largest untapped areas of oil in the world, but also has significant gas potential. Development and export opportunities in the Kurdistan region will play a very important role in the future energy sector of a united Iraq. http://www.kurdpress.ir/En/NSite/FullStory/News/?Id=9133#Title=%0A |

Hawrami: Baghdad will withdraw its file suits against buyers and we will be a main partner in Iraq’s budget ![]() The Minister of Natural Resources in Kurdistan Regional Government announced on Monday, that his ministry will raise the amount of oil product to 500 000 barrels per day during the first quarter of next year, 2015, pointing out that Kurdistan will be a main partner in the Iraqi Budget by the end of next year. Hawrami said in a speech at the Fourth Conference of the oil and gas in Kurdistan Region, held in London, followed up by "Shafaq News", that “ he thinks that their counterparts in the federal government in Baghdad would withdraw their file suits against oil buyer from Kurdistan in the next short-term “. Hawrami added that the export of the region’s oil independently from Baghdad is not solved yet, but he also said that he was optimistic for the first time on the progress of negotiations with the federal government. Hewlêr and Baghdad have agreed last month to let Kurdistan region export 250 000 barrels of oil and 300 thousand oil barrels from Kirkuk province starting from early next year through the expense of the Iraqi National Oil Marketing Company "SOMO" in return for Baghdad to send the region's share of the budget which is 17 % and financing Peshmarga forces as a part of the Iraqi defense system Source: http://english.shafaaq.com/index.php/business/12570-hawrami-baghdad-will-withdraw-its-file-suits-against-buyers-and-we-will-be-a-main-partner-in-iraq-s-budget |
