Die politisch schwierige Situation besteht weiterhin. Verkürzt: Irak/Bagdad vs Kurdistan/Erbil wegen Zuständigkeiten/Befugnissen (=Geld). Positiv zu werten sind Majors, die in letzter Zeit vermehrt in Blöcke in Kurdistan eintreten. Sie tun dies ungeachtet der Irakischen Haltung, eben diese Unternehmen mit Sanktionen hinsichtlich der "irakischen" Liegenschaften zu belegen. ---------------- Iraq blacklists Chevron for Kurdish oil deals By Ahmed Rasheed BAGHDAD | Tue Jul 24, 2012 5:47pm EDT BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq hit out at Chevron Corp (CVX.N) over its just-signed oil contract with Kurdistan, barring it from any oil agreements with the central government in a move meant to deter other companies from dealing directly with the semi-autonomous northern region. Baghdad has long held that contracts signed by the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) are illegal, and last year Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM.N) aroused its anger by striking a deal with the region while also running a project at a supergiant oilfield in the south. Baghdad retaliated by banning Exxon from an exploration tender in May. Chevron followed its larger rival into Kurdistan last week, and Baghdad's action on Tuesday will be closely watched by other oil majors, such as France's Total (TOTF.PA), which is widely expected to be the next to make a Kurdish oil play.

Gazprom Neft will take 40 percent of the Garmian block, putting it on a parity footing with Canadian operator WesternZagros, and 80 percent of the Shakal block. The regional government of the semi-autonomous region will keep 20 percent in both. Gazprom Neft estimated the blocks contained potential resources of about 3.6 billion barrels of oil equivalent. It already has a project in Iraq, near the Iranian border, where it expects to produce about 15,000 barrels per day from 2013. "Based on our positive experience in cooperation with the Republic of Iraq, where we are already participating in the development of Badra field, the company had decided to expand its presence in this country," Gazprom Neft First Deputy Chief Executive Vadim Yakovlev said in a statement. "Carrying out these projects will allow Gazprom Neft to increase its input in Iraq's plans to boost oil production, to gain additional experience in this country and to expand its presence abroad," he added. http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/08/01/russia-gazpromneft… Iraq: Total acquires interest in two exploration Blocks in Kurdistan Region of Iraq Paris, July 31, 2012: Total announced the signature of a Farm-in Agreement in two exploration blocks in Kurdistan Region of Iraq.

What does it mean for Iraq's energy sector? Kurdistan's oil sector got a major boost in the space of a few weeks when Russia's Gazprom and France's Total followed in the footsteps of American giants Chevron and Exxon Mobil. Baghdad insists that it should have the final say in all hydrocarbon deals and any contract signed with the semi-autonomous Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) will considered illegal under Iraqi law. The directive seems to have fallen on deaf ears.
