Iraq and big Kurdish oil deal Even at world prices around $65 a barrel, the Kurds’ huge fields might be a worthwhile risk for oil companies. You almost have to hand it to ISIS. The brutal terror group has stormed across Syria and Iraq, gobbling up territory and sparking turmoil across the region. And on Tuesday, it unwittingly pulled off what the U.S. government and major oil companies have failed to accomplish for years: It united two bitterly divided oil-producing governments, Iraq and Kurdistan, over how to distribute their immense natural wealth. Iraqi Finance Minister Hoshyar Zebari announced on Tuesday that Iraq and the country’s autonomous Kurdistan region—Iraq’s three northernmost provinces—had agreed on a system to export the Kurds’ rocketing oil production and to share the profits, with the Kurds receiving 17% of Iraq’s overall budget, something Kurdistan has battled for years to secure; until now Baghdad has doled out only 12% of its money to the Kurds, much of which comes from its giant oil fields in in the South. At least on paper, the deal finally ends a dispute that has raged ever since Saddam Hussein’s dictatorship collapsed in 2003, threatening to tear the country apart and spark an all-out civil war. Under the agreement the Kurds will begin shipping from January 250,000 barrels a day to Turkey, and pipe a further 300,000 barrels a day through the Baghdad-controlled pipeline which runs to Turkey’s Mediterranean port of Ceyhan, from Kirkuk, the hugely oil-rich province, which the Kurds have long claimed belongs to them, and which they seized from Baghdad last June when ISIS fighters rampaged across the Syrian border into northwestern Iraq, just a few miles from Kurdistan. By grabbing Kirkuk amid ISIS’s chaotic invasion, the Kurds massively increased their estimated oil reserves from about 4 billion barrels to about 13 billion barrels (the Kirkuk area is thought to contain about 9 billion barrels). That put the dream of an independent Kurdish country tantalizingly within reach. “We are definitely moving in the direction of [Kurdistan’s] statehood,” Ayham Kamel, Middle East director of the Eurasia Group told Fortune at the time. Indeed, Kurdistan has seemed to move ever further apart from Baghdad, with Hewlêr establishing itself as a gleaming capital of business, from its swank $550-million airport (Americans welcome, no visas required) to the forest of cranes over new office towers and five-star hotels, including Sheraton, Marriott and Hilton, all of which have Hewlêr projects. When Fortune visited last year, Kurds said they would go to war against Baghdad to defend their oil fields, if Iraq dared stop them from exporting barrels. “Nothing binds us to Iraq, except the status quo.” Hoshang Ishmail, community development manager for the United Arab Emirates oil company Crescent Petroleum told Fortune at the time. That was then, however. Tuesday’s deal offers the best chance in years of cooperation between the Baghdad and Kurdistan governments. Rather than bypassing Iraq’s State Organization for Marketing of Oil (SOMO) in its oil exports, as is has until now, Kurdistan will from January sell at least 550,000 barrels a day through that agency. In many ways Baghdad has ISIS to thank. With Iraqi and Kurdish forces ground down in the war against ISIS, the endless squabbling between the Baghdad and Kurdistan’s capital Hewlêr paled in comparison to the military threat—and now, Iraq has agreed to pay $1 billion to the Kurdish military, known as the peshmerga, to help it fight ISIS, which controls Iraq’s second-biggest city Mosul, a short drive from Kurdistan. “Now the priority really is to confront ISIS,” Zebari, who is a Kurd, told the New York Times on Tuesday. For oil companies, Tuesday’s announcement also brings some relief. Many had grown tired of waiting for the political paralysis to end and invested heavily in Kurdistan in the last few years, betting on the area’s huge promise; Houston-based Marathon Oil MRO 2.02% said on Monday it had struck oil 40 miles outside Hewlêr, in a field it jointly operates with the French energy giant Total. Exxon Mobil XOM 1.66% signed six exploration deals with the Kurds in 2011, infuriating Iraqi officials, who regarded the deals as violating its constitution. Chevron CVX 2.29% , meanwhile, bought out two Reliance Industries concessions. Until now, the majors have laid low, before pressing full steam ahead with drilling, since it was unclear how Kurdistan would pay them without incurring legal problems with Baghdad. “Some of the big companies have not been carrying out operations,” Richard Mallinson, a geopolitical analyst at Energy Aspects in London, told Fortune on Wednesday. “They have been waiting to see whether the political barriers can be lifted.” All that could change now. For oil companies, Kurdistan still offers potentially huge returns, with oil that costs companies an estimated $5 a barrel to develop and produce, compared with a break-even cost for U.S. shale oil production of between $50 and $80 a barrel, according to Mallinson. Still, a lot could go wrong—including the fact that Kurdish officials are pushing to expand their autonomy, to Iraq’s fury. Last month they led a delegation to Washington to push Congress to give them direct military aid, rather than having Kurdistan receive it through Baghdad, as the U.S. has done until now. “In the past this nod to Iraqi sovereignty has allowed Baghdad to delay or even block U.S. security cooperation with the Kurds,” Michael Knights, Iraq expert at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, wrote in an opinion last month. With ISIS closing in on Baghdad, those political subtleties now seem unwise. There is also a chance that Tuesday’s deal could fall apart, as the Kurds—ramping up oil production rapidly—begin exporting additional barrels outside of Baghdad’s control, by shipping oil through its own pipelines and its trucks across the Turkish border, as it has done for the past year. “We do not view the current framework as a permanent or necessarily stable one,” Kamel warned in a note to Eurasia’s clients on Wednesday. Yet even at world prices around $65 a barrel, the Kurds’ huge fields might be a worthwhile risk for oil companies. “These are very good reserves,” Mallinson says. “They are relatively cheap to develop and cheap to produce. The issue has always been the political challenges in getting the oil to market in volumes that can be exported internationally.” http://fortune.com/2014/12/03/iraqs-big-kurdish-oil-deal/ |

Oil prices fall below $40; shockwaves for producers![]() Hewlêr, Kurdistan Region - Oil prices fell below $40 Wednesday, as Kuwait reportedly sold a barrel of crude at $38.9, according to the state-run Kuwait News Agency. If verified, this is the lowest price for Brent crude in nearly six years. Falling prices have sent shockwaves among oil producers, also heavily affecting Iraq and its autonomous northern Kurdistan Region. Iraq’s state budget dropped from 174 trillion Iraqi dinars (about $145 billion) in 2014 to 120 trillion Iraqi dinars (about $100 billion) this year. In an with Rudaw published early this month, Iraq’s Finance Minister Hosyar Zebari said that the country has a difficult year ahead due to serious financial shortfalls. But he added that, according to a new draft budget agreed by Baghdad and Hewlêr for this year, the Kurds would receive their monthly budget from the central government. Crude prices have steadily dropped from about $120 per barrel in June last year. The price of crude has fallen around 40 percent since the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) rolled over its production target at a meeting in November, trying to defend market share rather than prices. Iraq and Kuwait are both OPEC members. Source: http://rudaw.net/english/business/14012015 |

An interesting contrast in oil based economies is Saudi Arabia compared to Alberta Canada. Saudi Arabia has billions in the bank and Alberta is broke and about to go through another recession and will probably be the worst in its history. Saudi Arabia on the other hand is using its money to power through this crisis and destroy the competition as well as staking out its position as a major player in the oil business of the future. The irony here is that the Calgary economy is much more diversified than S. Arabia. https://ca.news.yahoo.com/woe-canada-prentice-says-alberta-oil-crunch-hurt-213944930.html?bcmt_s=m#ugccmt-container https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/prince-alwaleed-oil-never-going-160800317.html?bcmt_s=m#ugccmt-container The lesson here is hard to avoid but its hard to imagine the KRG having any reserves of money with the problems it has had with the so called central government of Baghdad and with the war on I don't think things will get any better. This should be a lesson for the long view of the future though and a major reason to diversify the economy of the KRG. Lets hope the KRG and the people of Kurdistan start planning for a future with less dependence on oil. Edited by Jim M, Jan 16 15, 12:56.

As Islamic State grows, China upgrades ties with Kurdistan![]() Kurdistan PM Nechirvan Barzani (R) with Chinese Deputy Foreign Minister, Zhang Ming at the opening ceremony, December 30,2014 . Photo: KRG China opened consulate in South Kurdistan On 23 October, the editorial board of the New York Times exposed how the battle of Kobani and Turkey’s obstructionism “highlights the enduring weaknesses in America’s strategy.” The centerpiece of U.S. anti-ISIS strategy is based on conducting airstrikes on ISIS-controlled areas in coordination with indigenous ground troops; however, local ground forces are either unorganized, politically divided, and where there are effective fighting forces such as Kobani Kurds they are being outgunned. Turkey’s continual obstruction of aid to Kobani prompted Washington to resort to arming the Kurds via airdrops. However, ISIS has overrun a large portion of the airdrop zone, making future resupply difficult. Moreover, Erdogan made a meek gesture of allowing 200 Peshmerga forces to reinforce Kobani fighters, which in face of nearly 9,000 ISIS jihadists streaming against the 2,000 Kurdish fighters will hardly turn the tide in the battle. The Peshmerga forces have not yet arrived in Kobani, to boot. Effectively, Turkey is straitjacketing the U.S.-led coalition. In light of the coalition’s inability to arrest the ravenous growth of ISIS, a rising power is stirring in the East—China. On 23 October, Chinese Defense Minister Chang Wanquan met with Iranian Navy Commander Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari to upgrade military ties in the Persian Gulf, on the heels of the September China-Iran naval war games in the Strait of Hormuz. On the same day, when an unauthorized mapping drone flew near Beijing airport, China sprinted into action by deploying 1,226 military personnel, 123 military vehicles, 26 radar technicians, two fighter jets and two helicopters. China’s swift and overwhelming military response to protect its national security may be a harbinger of its overseas military posture. Tang Zhichao, a research fellow with the Institute of West Asian and African Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said the September China-Iran naval drills are a result of China’s expanding role in Middle East security. Tang views the West’s capability and will to maintain regional security is weakening, so Gulf regions are looking to other world powers such as China to step in. He noted “As China’s economy grows, its security interests in the Middle East and strategic maritime passages such as Persian Gulf are of growing importance to China. Therefore, military cooperation with Gulf states, including Iran, is increasingly critical.” Given majority of Gulf states have U.S. military presence with U.S. 5th Fleet based in Bahrain, and airbases in Qatar and UAE, Iran is a natural and potential future base for the Chinese navy. China is also upgrading ties with Kurdistan. In September, China established a new general consulate in Hewlêr, in midst of negotiation for the potential sale of 4 million barrels of oil. A 17 September Reuters article noted that should Hewlêr establish a buyer as large as China, it could provide reassurance to other countries and companies that would like to buy oil from the Kurds but fear crossing Baghdad. This would also provide much needed finance for Kurdish military to fight ISIS. While China also has oil interests in southern Iraq, it values stability, and likely sees the U.S.-led coalition will be unable to stop ISIS’ southern advance towards Chinese oil interests. Kurdistan is thus a rock of stability in the sea of upheavals in Syria and Iraq, and Beijing is upgrading ties with Hewlêr to safeguard its oil interests, following a similar pattern of gaining a beach hold in South Sudan prior to Juba breaking away from Sudan in 2011. In fact China is deploying an infantry battalion of 700 troops to join its 350 peacekeepers in the UN mission (UNMISS) in South Sudan to safeguard its oil interests, bringing Chinese troop presence to over 1,000. China has high stakes in Sudan and South Sudan, having invested US$20 billion in Sudan prior to the 2011 partition and an additional US$8 billion following South Sudan’s secession. Beijing learned a bitter lesson from its $20 billion Libya losses and is now resorting to military tools to safeguard its energy security. China is also South Sudan’s top weapons provider having recently sold US$38 million worth of ammunition, grenade launchers, machine guns and missiles to help protect its investments. Likewise in Kurdistan, China is expanding its investments. China’s energy giant Sinopec entered the Kurdish market in 2009 when it took over Addax Petroleum which had assets in Kurdistan’s Taq Taq field as well as Africa. Sold for $7.2 billion, this was the largest-ever international takeover by a Chinese oil and gas firm. Seventeen other Chinese companies, including oil and gas service company DQE, operate in Kurdistan. As ISIS continues to expand, it is likely a matter of time before China also deploys troops to Kurdistan to safeguard its interests http://ekurd.net/as-islamic-state-grows-china-upgrades-ties-with-iran-and-kurdistan-2015-01-17 |

PM Barzani: There are Misunderstandings with Baghdad The Kurdistan Region Prime Minister says that a misunderstanding with the Iraqi federal government means Baghdad believes more oil should be sold through the State Organization for Marketing of Oil (SOMO) than what was agreed in the Hewlêr – Baghdad meetings last month. The first KRG meeting of the year was led by KRG Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani on Wednesday. Initial discussions focused on the oil agreement between Hewlêr and Baghdad. Barzani said, “There is misunderstanding with Baghdad. The Iraqi federal government believes that the KRG will export more oil through SOMO than the volume in the agreement. “We have said that even if we were capable of producing more, we wouldn’t export more than we agreed.” Barzani said that the KRG will act according to the agreement and export the oil on time. The KRG follows the agreement and hopes that Baghdad will resolve the issue. The PM revealed the extent of financial difficulties in the region. The government, he said, is taking the necessary steps to deal with the economic crisis. He approved the proposed reduction in public spending that Finance and Economy Minister Rebaz Mohammed Hamlan will put before the Kurdistan Parliament. The KRG Council of Ministers congratulated the Peshmerga forces for recent successes and expressed their condolences for the families of martyred Peshmerga fighters. The council also applauded the liberation of Kobani and thanked Turkey for allowing Peshmerga forces to cross the country to enter the city and assist the YPG/YPJ fighters. The Minister of Martyrs and Anfal Affairs Mahmood Salih Hama-Karim presented a report written by a committee charged with recognizing the Yazidi and Christian genocide. The council and Barzani praised the work being done to ensure that the case is internationally recognized. http://basnews.com/en/news/2015/01/29/pm-barzani-there-are-misunderstandings-with-baghdad/ |

Bashur: 65 to 100 billion barrels of proven reserves Rojava: According to this article: http://nationalinterest.org/commentary/syrias-kurds-the-struggle-oil-8090 - 70% of Syria's oil reserves is in Kurdistan. Syria has about 10 billion barrels of oil, which means Rojava has a proven reserve of 7 billion barrels (about 10% of Bashur). But Rojava's population is much smaller. There is no reliable data on how much oil there is in Rojhalat, but there are almost no oilfields. But I don't think they've really explored for oil there (luckily). Rojhalat is rich in gold, diamonds, silver, gas, etc. though. There is almost no oil in Bakur. Turkey's ENTIRE oil reserve is like 220 million barrels. By 2018, that will be like 3 months worth of oil of Bashur. So f**king filthy Turks are not stealing our oil :). In terms of wealth: CURRENTLY: 1. Bashur (100+ billion barrels of oil, gold, diamonds, gas, agriculture, economic development, etc.) 2. Rojava (agriculture & oil) 3. Rojhalat (gas, metals, agriculture) 4. Bakur (but Bakur has rich history, beautiful nature & the sources of the Tigris and Euphrate -water- rivers and the largest population of all 4 parts of Kurdistan. So in an independent Kurdistan, they would probably be 2nd). In case of a united, independent and developed Kurdistan: 1. Bashur 2. Bakur or Rojhalat (depends on if Rojhalat has oil or not. If not, 3rd. If yes, 2nd) 3. Bakur or Rojhalat 4. Rojava (rich in oil & agriculture, but a small population, so the GDP would be lower, but the GDP per capita higher) Oil reserves: Bashur 100 billion Rojava 10 billion Rojhalat ? unknown Bakur neglectable Total: 110+ billion An independent Kurdistan would be number 4 or 5 in the world (in terms of proven oil reserves) Above Iran, iraq, kuwait, UAE, USA, Russia, China, etc. ![]() |

^ there is a considerable amount of oil reserve in rojhalat as well only in Ilam there is 15b oil reserve I think. It also depends on which map really represents Rojhalat there is a huge variety of them some stretching all the way to the Persian gulf! The Rojhalatis have a lot of potential and diversity in terms of natural wealth compared to any other part. they need a charismatic leader to unite them and start fighting for the Kurds. Maybe unite with the Bakhtiaris. That would be so amazing!! |

Kurdistan oil exports ceased![]() Gulf Keystone Petroleum Limited has ceased exporting crude oil from the South Kurdistan region, due to payment owed by the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). The company’s share price reportedly fell as much as 18 percent Friday morning, following the announcement to discontinue sales to overseas markets. They will focus on local crude sales for the time being, until the KRG begins making regular payments for exported oil. An agreement between Gulf Keystone and the KRG was reached in December, after which the KRG made an initial payment of $15 million. Gulf Keystone’s Chief Executive John Gerstenlauer released a statement saying, "We remain confident that a stable payment cycle will be established in the near term, and we expect to receive payment for all past and ongoing oil sales from Shaikan (oilfield)." The company is currently working to establish an oil pipeline network for the Shaikan oilfield, which is located northwest of Hewlêr, and aims to increase production output to 40,000 barrels per day of oil. Iraq’s recently passed 2015 budget, which guarantees the autonomous Kurdistan region a 17 percent share of the federal budget, is expected to assist the KRG in making regular payments. Falling global oil prices, which were a major reason for the delay in passing Iraq’s budget, have also impacted Gulf Keystone’s shares. http://www.nrttv.com/en/detailsnews/2015/02/06/kurdistan-oil-exports-ceased |
