The actual goal was to have 1 million barrels a day on begin of 2015, before Daash war begun. But it doesn't matter, 650 thousand is a thing( at least if it all gets sold) a very good thing and i think we can be economic independent right now. That is maybe why barzani has done a bit longer about making these new laws of calling it kurdistan and not kurdistan region. And paving the way for referendums.

How much would the gdp per capita be in bashur if the population is 6.5 million and they export 1.5 million barrels of oil a day which one barrel is 75 dollars? I tried it my self but i come on a pretty low number.

Population will be around 6 million.
Export will be around 2 million barrels by 2017.

2 million (barrels per day) x 75 (USD per barrel) x 365 (days) = +/- $55 billion.

agriculture: 8.0%; industry: 44.0%; services: 48.0% (2011 est.)

In 2011, oil made up 44% of the economy.
So the GDP is not entirely made up of oil.

I predict that by 2017, natural resources (oil + gas + minerals, etc.) will make up around 55% of Bashur's economy.
Agriculture will also rise tremendously. Before 2003, there was almost no agriculture in Kurdistan despite the fact that Kurdistan has the most fertile soil in the entire of the Middle-East. Almost everything had to be imported. I believe we reached self-sufficiency a while ago and will begin EXPORTING food soon.

So agriculture will probably grow to around 15% by 2017, while services will make up for the remaining 30% (services will increase, but they will make up a smaller portion of the economy because of the huge increase in the other 2 sectors).

The $55 billion is from oil ONLY, not the entire industrial sector (sugar, gas, minerals, gold, bricks, concrete, etc.)
So by 2017, the GDP from the ENTIRE industrial sector will probably be around $80 billion.

$80 billion will make up 55% of Bashur's nominal GDP.


So the total nominal GDP will be around $145 billion.

$145 billion / 6 million = GDP of +/- $25,000 PPP.


This would put Bashur at #32 in the world (per person capita). In comparison, Spain's PPP is $30k, while Saudi-Arabia's is $24k.

Re Chevron - any comments on this article:

Chevron Looks To Farm Down KRG, Morocco Interests

Even leaving aside the potential impact of sustained lower output from the Saudi/Kuwait Partitioned Neutral Zone (PNZ – see above) the MENA region is set to diminish in importance for Chevron.

The US major, in its latest annual report, reveals that it is pursuing opportunities to farm down its stakes in its three exploration blocks each in South Kurdistan and Morocco.

In the KRG, Chevron operates and holds 80% interests...

KRG Oil Exports Reaches 650,000 Barrels Per Day

ANKARA

The Turkish Energy Minister Taner Yildiz has revealed that oil exports from the Kurdistan Region and Kirkuk, using the pipeline to the Turkish port of Ceyhan, have reached 650,000 barrels per day (bpd).

Recently available loading data showed exports at 450,000 bpd earlier this year, still some way short of the 550,000 bpd average that was agreed to be sold through the State Oil Marketing Organisation (SOMO) in the December Hewlêr – Baghdad talks.

In order to get closer to the average, exports are likely to rise significantly, with Yildiz outlining the increase over the last year, and projections for the rest of 2015.

“In March last year some 2,300 bpd of crude oil had been coming to Turkey from KRG. Now it has reached 650,000 bpd. This level is a significant portion of Iraq’s total daily exports of 2.7 million barrels. Our target is to exceed one million barrels.”

The pipeline went offline for some months in 2014 as it was attacked by Daash militants.

Ali Hama Saleh, member of the Parliament (Gorran) said that we are exporting 800,000 bpd. Officially we are only exporting 550,000 bpd now maybe 650,000 bpd.

In the upcoming days our Parliament will implement a law to clarify these things regarding our oil and become as transparent as possible when talking to the Parliament.

DNO to Increase Investments in Kurdistan Region

Company increase oil sales on local market by 10%

OSLO

Norwegian energy company DNO said on Thursday it plans to invest more in the Kurdistan Region in KRG as the business cycle improves.


“We are ramping up production, export and local sales following the recently completed Tawke [Zakho] capacity expansion,” Executive Chairman Bijan Mossavar-Rahmani said in a statement. “We will dust off investment plans as our revenue stream continues to grow.”


DNO in a quarterly statement early this month said weak sales to the Kurdish market and the low price of oil forced it to cut capital spending on the back of reduced revenues.

For first quarter 2015, production from the DNO-operated Tawke field in Dohuk Province was 104,925 barrels per day (bpd), of which about 8% was sold in the local Kurdish market.

For the current quarter to date, the company said production averaged 146,309 bpd, of which roughly 18% was sold in the local market.

The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries said in its latest monthly market report total Iraqi oil demand declined by about 100,000 bpd in March, the tenth straight month of decline.

DNO in early May completed a two-year investment program to double the number of wells in the Tawke prospect and improve pipeline capacity. It set a daily production record at Tawke of just over 150,000 bpd and installed capacity to hit the 200,000 bpd mark.

OPEC said total Iraqi oil production for April was 3.67 million bpd, up 1.2 percent from the previous month.

Kurdistan Oil Exports Reach 451,000 bpd in May

The Kurdistan Region and Kirkuk increased daily oil exports to a record average of more than 450,000 barrels per day (bpd).

Overall oil exports from Iraq also exceeded previous figures, to an average of 3.145 million bpd in May, up from 3.08 million the previous month, the oil ministry said on Monday.

A record 2.694 million bpd were exported from the southern Basra terminals, while exports from the Kurdistan Region via the pipeline to the Turkish port of Ceyhan reached 451,000 bpd.

Revenue rose to more than $5 billion, with the average selling price for a barrel of crude at $55.

In recent years Iraq has struggled to increase oil exports due to Islamic State attacks and technical issues.
