UAE TRANSFERS 25 MILLION LITERS OF GASOLINE TO KURDISTAN

SULAIMANI – The United Arab Emirates transferred 25 million liters of gasoline to the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) on Thursday to help the region cope with a fuel shortage, according to a KRG official.

Sherko Jawdat, head of the Kurdistan Parliament’s Oil and Gas Committee, announced the 25 million liters would be distributed across the region’s four provinces.

“This 25 million liters of gasoline is to temporarily tackle the gasoline crisis,” Jawdat told NRT.

“The KRG should contract with companies and the private sector to build oil refineries to prevent facing such a crisis again,” he added.

The Kurdistan Region is currently facing a shortage as the government cracks down on illegal refineries, obvious by long lines at local gas stations and abundance of black market sellers on the side of the road.

One business owner said most gas stations need at least 70,000 liters to meet drivers’ demands, while his has only received on average 34,000 liters from providers.

The head of Duhok Governorate’s oil directorate, Abdul Samad Kochar, said his province would need a significant amount of fuel to meet locals’ demand.

“In order to tackle the gasoline crisis in Duhok, we need 1,700,000 liters per a day, while currently only 500,000 – 600,000 liters are being distributed,” he said.

Non-KRG gas stations and black market sellers have taken advantage of the demand and resorted to selling gasoline for above government prices, which are set at IQD 700 ($0.60) per liter.

Black market sellers have become ubiquitous on the region’s roads, filling up desperate buyers’ tanks from jerry cans, despite rumors of the gasoline’s poor quality and shady origins.

Drivers, however, are willing to take the chance to avoid hours-long lines at government-sanctioned stations in the 40-degree (104°F) summer heat.

KRG THREATENS TO INDEPENDENTLY SELL KIRKUK OIL

SULAIMANI – The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) says it will independently sell crude from Kirkuk’s oil fields if the central government does not provide monthly budget payments for the resource-rich governorate.

Government spokesman Safeen Dizayee said the KRG has provided services in the governorate since 2003, especially in health, education, energy and security.

“The KRG has decided that if Baghdad doesn’t send the monthly budget of Kirkuk, it will sell its oil directly, and it will provide the governorate with petrodollars,” he said.

Kirkuk is believed to have close to 8.7 billion barrels, or about 30 percent of Iraq’s total oil reserves.

Dizayee added that KRG officials have been in talks with Kirkuk’s governor and Provincial Council head, who say Baghdad has not sent Kirkuk its budget for over six months.

Officials in Baghdad blame country-wide budget cuts that are affecting all of Iraq’s governorates.

Head of the Natural Resources Committee in the Kurdistan Parliament, Sherko Jawdat, said the KRG independently sold over 12.6 million barrels of oil in June in an attempt to solve the region’s financial crisis.

Independent sales in May alone brought in $750 million in revenue for the region, which is hosting over 1.5 million refugees and displaced Iraqis, as well as fighting a war against Islamic State (IS) militants that is entering its second year.

KRG 'obliged' to increase independent oil sales

Hewlêr, Kurdistan Region — The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) in a monthly oil report released Thursday said due to the long-standing budget impasse with Baghdad it had no choice but to increase its independent oil sales in June.

“The KRG was obliged to increase independent sales due to significant debt backlog arising from budget cut of 2014 imposed by federal government,” read the statement released by the KRG Ministry of Natural Resources.

According to the statement in the month of June, KRG has exported 17,130,639 barrels of crude oil, making up an average of 571,021 barrel per day. The crude oil was shipped to the port of Ceyhan in Turkey through a pipeline from the Kurdistan region.

Iraq, Kurdistan Region oil deal close to collapse

An oil-sales deal between Iraq and the semiautonomous Kurdistan Regional Government is close to collapse about six months after it was signed, undermining the country’s unity as it struggles to fight Islamic State and contain an escalating financial crisis.

Months of acrimony between Baghdad and Hewlêr, the KRG’s capital, came to a head in June, when the Kurdish side reduced the amount of oil it sold through Iraq’s state-owned Oil Marketing Company, known as SOMO, and began ramping up its independent sales of oil through the Turkish port at Ceyhan, Wall Street Journal reported.

The sales undercut an agreement struck in December that gave Iraq’s central government access to revenue from Kurdish oil, which accounts for about 15% of the 3.8 million barrels the country pumps each day on average. In exchange, the Kurds were to get 17% of federal expenditure—an amount KRG officials say hasn’t materialized.

“The oil deal between Baghdad and KRG has reached a deadlock,” said Kawa Mohammed, a Kurdish member of the Oil and Energy Committee in the Iraqi parliament. The accord “was built on uncertain foundation, very weak foundations, with a lack of trust on both sides.”

If the deal does collapse, it could rupture the fragile unity that Iraq relies on to fight Islamic State, which took over more than a quarter of the country in a startling blitz last summer. The KRG’s economy is facing a fiscal crunch that threatens its ability to support the Kurdish fighters who have taken a leading role in combating the extremist insurgency.

Under the December agreement, the Kurds were to market 550,000 barrels of oil each day through Iraq’s SOMO. The Kurds say they instead exported most of their oil independently in June, because Baghdad was giving them less than their share of the budget. They also cited a need to make good on deals with oil traders who gave the Kurds cash up front for oil to be delivered later.

Those sales “kept the region financially afloat at a crucial time for the security and stability of Kurdistan and Iraq,” the KRG said Thursday.

“Baghdad didn't pay what Kurdistan was asking for because Kurdistan didn't give Baghdad what it was supposed to,” said Jabbar Abdul Khaliq, an Arab member of parliament’s finance committee, who held out hope that the December 2014 deal might prevail.

Richard Mallinson, geopolitical analyst at Energy Aspects, who closely follows the Iraqi oil sector, said the oil deal was “crumbling.”

“It feels like it will probably limp along for a while longer, but in practical terms the deal is probably on its last legs,” he said.

The risk is particularly acute for the Kurds, whose balance sheets are squeezed by an escalating financial crisis, the influx of millions of displaced people from Iraq and Syria, and the burden of fighting Islamic State militants.

Kurdish state employees, who make up a majority of the region’s workforce, haven’t been paid since April and many are protesting. Oil companies such as Genel Energy PLC, Gulf Keystone PLC and Norway’s DNO have gone unpaid for much of the crude oil they have exported via the pipeline to Ceyhan for the KRG. Last month, Hewlêr sought international investors in a proposed bond issue to mend a nearly $5 billion budget deficit.

“The fight against IS...cannot happen if you don’t have the economic means to do it,” Ashti Hawrami, the KRG’s minister for natural resources, told a London conference in June.

From everything I hear and see; there is nothing blocking Kurdistan from selling oil on the open market. And if the Kurd army becomes a unified professional army,armed, equipped and trained by the best in the West, they can keep Kirkuk and that is just compensation for what Iraq has done to the Kurds.

KRG selling oil independently of Baghdad: Deputy

The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) has begun selling crude oil from the region and Kirkuk independently and will receive payments without going through Baghdad, a Kurdish MP said in the Iraqi Parliament on July 8, according to Rudaw.

Arez Abdullah, chairman of the Iraqi Parliament’s Oil and Gas Committee, told the TV that the KRG had started exporting oil directly to world markets in July.

“This is the beginning of Iraq’s disintegration,” Abdullah said.

KRG spokesperson Safin Dizayee told Rudaw that the decision was made to resolve the economic crisis that has stricken the Kurdistan region. He added that the decision was necessary to pay government employees’ salaries on time.

In the last oil sales report, the Kurdistan Natural Resources Ministry said that due to the long-standing budget impasse with Baghdad, the region was obliged to increase its independent crude oil sales in June.

According to Hurriyet daily June became the first month of large independent sales since December last year, when the KRG agreed a deal with Baghdad to transfer up to 550,000 barrels per day to Iraqi state oil company SOMO in exchange for Baghdad allocating Hewlêr 17 percent of budget payments, according to a Reuters report on June 29.

The deal has faced troubles ever since, with Baghdad accusing Hewlêr of allocating smaller-than-agreed amounts of oil and Hewlêr saying Baghdad is paying less than half of what is due.

Gulf Keystone gets payments for South Kurdistan’s Shaikan crude

Gulf Keystone, South Kurdistan

LONDON,— Gulf Keystone Petroleum Ltd said it had received further payments on recent contracts, helping prop up its cash position, and continued to progress towards a regular payment cycle for the oil it produces.

Shares in the company rose as much as 8 percent to 35 pence on Thursday morning on the London Stock Exchange.

Gulf Keystone has not just been hurt by the steep fall in crude oil prices but also faced the brunt of political tensions in the South Kurdistan region, where its primary operations are.

The company suspended production and trucked exports from its Shaikan oilfield in South Kurdistan in mid-February over outstanding payments from the Kurdistan Regional Government for its crude oil.

Gulf Keystone is among a handful of oil producers in South Kurdistan who started selling their oil to domestic buyers after struggling with months of unpaid export bills.

Gulf Keystone held $72.1 million in cash as of July 8, with further payments expected from its domestic contracts and talks with the Kurdistan government.

The company said that it expected to start trucking crude from the oilfield to Fyshkhabour on the Turkish border in the near future where it would be injected into the export pipeline to Ceyhan, the transportation hub for Middle Eastern, Central Asian and Russian oil and natural gas.

The company expects to secure higher prices once its oil makes it into the pipeline as the crude would then be sold as part of internationally traded blend.

Production rates are now expected at 36,000-40,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd) for the rest of the year, below the 40,000 bopd the company had forecast.

Gulf Keystone said its daily average production is expected to fall to 30,000 to 34,000 bopd for the year, hurt by a five-week suspension of operations at Shaikan in the first quarter, down from 36,000 expected earlier.

Gulf Keystone Reports Record Production in Kurdistan Region

Hewlêr – Gulf Keystone is reporting record production following the resumption of activities in the Kurdistan Region. The company had halted deliveries in February in response to a dispute with the KRG.

On June 21st production hit a peak of 44,600 barrels per day (bpd), contributing to an average of 38,000 bpd over the last two months.

Crude will be trucked to the Fishkhabour border to join the pipeline to Ceyhan. With production rates current flowing at more than 43,000 bpd, the two production facilities at the field have produced in excess of 13 million barrels in total.

Chief executive Jon Ferrier said, “The Shaikan field is performing well, with current production at stable rates and an average daily off take of 38,000 bpd achieved in June.

“Taking into account the suspension of production operations earlier in the year due to external market factors, today’s performance allows us to exit the year at an average rate of between 30,000 and 34,000 bpd, subject to future market factors.”

The company will post results for the first half of 2015 on 27th August.

Interesting, various oil tankers from & to Trieste port (Italy) & Augusta (Sicilia, Italy) are more and more coming for Kurdish oil. The BOTAS port in Ceyhan specifically adheres to KRG oil (+ Kirkuk oil). Thus, it's not like pre Iraq-KRG oil deal in Dec 14, where only Israelis were purchasing KRG oil.

Whats interesting to know is that the Trieste- and Augusta ports are huge refineries that belongs to two of the biggest international oil companies in the world. These two are Eni (Italian, in Trieste) and Exxon (USA, in Augusta).

We're seeing a steady flow of orders from ExxonMobil, to its giant refinery in Augusta, Sicilia, Italy. This is of great significance, means our sales have considerably changed for the better. The order was conducted today.

This fact also proves that the oil policy of Nechirvan Barzani (together with his cabinet, the MoE & Q. Talabani) worked, and has become successively successful. I know Gorranians, and PUK (except the Talabani family, Salih & Rasoul) challenged the MNR & the cabinet's oil policy. Well, we're seeing the actual fruit today.

It was imperative, or necessary I should say, that we had to go through the bad 2014-mid2015 Baghdad deals and so forth, for the sake of giving a chance to the new Iraqi government. US wanted to play this card. Now that its over with, S. Kurdistan's economy will steadily grow. And remember, we also, successively, managed to garner Kirkuk oil too ;-)

And best of all is that USA approves KRG oil exports in that the oil itself is no longer considered to be exclusively under control of the Iraq Oil Ministry. No more blocked oil tankers. And no more complaints from Baghdad will be entreated. Perhaps quite soon;there will be 1 million BPD production and more pipelines.m yay

Yes. In the past;before the USA and EU members agreed with KRG and favored Kurdistan`s bid for exporting oil and offering IOCs contracts for developing oil and gas resources. A problem KRG is having is with natural gas production for operating two gas turbine electricity generation plants. Dana Gas did not meet supply expectations and KRG switched over to fuel for powering auxiliary generators with a 2+ billion per year cost. thumbsdown Not good; let`s hope Dana Gas honors its alleged commitments to use their compensation from a case they won over KRG. http://m.gulfnews.com/business/sectors/energy/dana-gas-wins-case-against-kurdish-government-over-energy-rights-1.1545767

I think we are going to see a change in attitude and the West will have to accept the reality that Iraq will never unite again. And it is true that KRG has dealt fairly and legally with investors and companies in Kurdistan.

kurdishpatriot; Because US & KRG gave it a new try, ultimately without any success. There's no way forward for both parties, unless they go their own way. We're seeing the fruit in that ExxonMobil, the powerhouse of US OC is purchasing kurdish crude (probably at a good premium as well). ExxonMobil is not a joke, these companies runs governments, foreign policys and so forth.

Well that's what KRG wants and most Iraqi Shias want KRG to sell its own oil. For eg all of
Iraqi Shias complain that Basrah oil is building KRG up, so now they cut our 17% we pay that ourself along with border income wi be close to $1 billion a month that's $12 billion a year which is what we use to get from Iraq... And Kirkuk is controlled by Peshmerga and Iraqi Govt knows Kirkum is lost to KRG, and KRG is just slowly KRGfying Kirkuk after been arabises for over 90 years it's not an easy process....
