In un recente articolo apparso sul Financial Times, viene presentato l’elenco degli appalti da assegnare per l’estrazione di greggio in Iraq. L’articolo di Carola Hoyos, Helen Warrell e Steve Bernard riporta testualmente quanto segue:
[ad]Iraq’s early attempts to attract foreign investment into its oil sector have been largely unsuccessful so far, as Tuesday’s auctions of six oil fields and two gas fields have yielded only one sale. BP of the UK and China’s CNPC agreed to Baghdad’s tough pricing terms, and will turn the South Rumaila field into the world’s second largest oil producer. However, the remaining oil and gas fields, including the highly sought-after West Qurna field, did not attract high enough bids to meet the Iraqi oil ministry’s conditions.
Hussein Shahristani – the oil minister already under fire for not having done more to regenerate the dilapidated oil industry since the 2003 toppling of the Saddam Hussein’s regime – is likely to come under increased pressure as the contract discussions continue.

The graphic will be updated as the individual auctions are formally concluded.

Iraq: Shahristani battles Kurds and MPs over production failures
THE COUNTRY’s embattled oil minister, Hussain al-Shahristani, is persisting with his hard-line stance towards the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) over its production-sharing agreements with international oil companies (IOCs). But there is growing disquiet among senior Iraqi oil industry officials over his general handling of the hydrocarbons brief.
Although central-government politicians still support the minister over his refusal to acknowledge the legality of the KRG oil contracts, Shahristani’s failure to halt a slide in Iraqi oil production this year has prompted a tide of criticism about his management of the sector. Oil production of 2.3m-2.4m b/d this year is below the level produced before the 2003 US-led invasion. Southern crude output in the first half was averaging just 1.6m-1.7m b/d, down from a mid-2008 peak of 2.0m b/d.
