Baghdad looks to take control of KRG oil

The Iraqi State Organization for Marketing Oil (SOMO) announced Nov. 2 that it is arranging with Turkey to allow SOMO to sell Iraqi crude from the disputed territories through the pipeline from Kirkuk to the Ceyhan Turkish port. The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) used to export about 500,000 barrels per day independently through Ceyhan before the Baghdad operation to retake the disputed areas in mid-October.

It was not long after the Iraqi army took over the oil fields in Kirkuk in a military operation to “impose security,” as described by Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, that the federal government resumed oil pumping operations. The operations started about a week after the clashes between governmental forces and Kurdish peshmerga forces. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Oil rushed to increase oil production, and on Oct. 23, the ministry requested the help of the British petroleum company BP in increasing production in Kirkuk oil fields to more than 700,000 barrels per day. The ministry also announced the formation of a ministerial committee to advance the oil industry in the province of Kirkuk.

Kirkuk has more than 35 billion barrels in oil reserves and a production capacity ranging from 750,000 to 1 million barrels per day. The federal government seems determined to control the oil sources, especially in Kirkuk and the disputed areas. In light of this, on Oct. 19, the Iraqi minister of oil warned all countries and international petroleum companies against signing contracts with any Iraqi party without first consulting the federal government.

Spokesman for the Ministry of Oil, Assem Jihad, told Al-Monitor, “The federal government should control the oil wells, even those in the Kurdistan Region, which is seeking independence. The Iraqi Constitution states that all oil sources must be under the control of the federal government.”

Jihad emphasized, “The government’s control of oil wealth does not mean a certain national party will monopolize the sector. All oil resources will be fairly distributed among the people.”

He said, “Oil fields, mainly Bay Hassan and Havana in Kirkuk, are managed by the North Oil Company affiliated with the federal authorities and working under the supervision of the Ministry of Oil. No other company is allowed to operate there without the approval of the federal government.”

Iraqi Kurdistan still exports oil to the Turkish Ceyhan port in the framework of old agreements. Kurdish oil exports range from 220,000 to 240,000 barrels a day. Therefore, the KRG might seek joint control of Kirkuk’s oil in the future. However, Jihad warned that “any oil exportation without the knowledge of the Ministry of Oil would be considered smuggling punishable by law.”

Jihad added that sharing control of Kirkuk’s oil “should be decided by the federal government rather than the Ministry of Oil, which is only an executive party.” He noted, “The Ministry of Oil is waiting for the government’s decisions and policies in this regard.”

Al-Monitor asked Jihad whether the restoration of an oil pipeline far from the Kurdistan Region’s territories through Mosul to Turkey would constitute a step on the road to ending the KRG’s role in any oil exportations. He answered, “The idea of such a pipeline is not new. It is the main pipeline to transfer oil, and it stopped working after the Islamic State attacked Mosul and the areas in north and west Iraq in 2014. Now, after the liberation of Mosul and other regions, the government is bent on restoring the pipeline as a main exportation means from Kirkuk to Ceyhan, passing through Salahuddin and Ninevah.”

He added, “This pipeline feeds the Baiji oil refinery.”

Although the federal government’s control of Kirkuk will halt many oil-smuggling operations and exportations that do not have the federal government’s approval, this step puts into question the future of oil contracts that the KRG signed with international companies. Those include Iraqi Kurdistan’s contract with the Russian Rosneft Oil Company, signed a few days before the Kirkuk incidents to drill oil in five different locations in Iraqi Kurdistan. As per this agreement, the KRG got $2 billion to curb its budgetary deficit.

Majida al-Tamimi, who is a member of the Iraqi parliament’s fiscal committee, told Al-Monitor, “Any contract that does not go through the parliament or that is signed without the knowledge of the federal government is illegitimate.”

She said, “The Kurdistan Region receives a yearly share of 17% from the federal budget. The federal government will not bear the burden of any loans or debts that Iraqi Kurdistan owes. If the federal government approves the contracts, the parliament would then examine them and conduct feasibility studies before taking a decision.”

Tamimi said, “In the 2018 budget, the Kurdistan Region’s name was replaced for the first time in budget charts with the name 'northern provinces,' indicating that the parliament and government are politically willing to take away as many privileges as possible from the Kurdistan Region, including oil exportation.”

Although many expected Kirkuk to be a bloody battlefield, the federal government’s takeover was smooth. Therefore, oil production will be more competent and prolific. The government is bent on developing facilities and has promised to distribute oil revenues fairly among citizens, including the Kurds in Iraqi Kurdistan. The government asserted that it would pay the Kurdistan Region’s employees’ salaries if it takes control of all the oil fields.

Oil wealth is past the danger stage of causing a war. Eyes are now set on the way the federal government will distribute oil wealth and whether it will indeed be fair to all Iraqis.

World's most luxurious hospital room. $75,000+ for 6 nights. No worries. Talabani and Maliki probably used it too. In the end,

Talabani's stay in Germany cost the government $2m. But I hear Barzani's got $$$. Then a timely 'extended' recovery in his

plush Virginia USA digs. Feel so sorry for these folks, right??

Well this is right out of the Maliki playbook. And why do they always get sent to hospitals in other countries?  Doesn’t Iraq have any decent doctors and hospitals..?

 

True. But if you had stolen billions from your poor citizens, would you let a lowly nurse administer an enema or injection? He!! NO. These folks are rich because they aren't fools. Their motto is CYA.

Much Appreciated Thugs, watch this guy, and see if he mysteriously just disappears from the hospital. With the kind of money he stoled he could for years live on a private island and just pay for people to look the other way and hide. 

Very convenient way to get out of the country. Pay a couple docs to say you need to be transferred ASAP. And then slip into the night.

Though not limited to this, the most common cause of a stroke, a ischemic stroke, is fatty deposit on the arteries. These deposits eventually cut off the blood flow (usually to the brain) causing the brain to short circuit. Speculation would say that he stroked out because he was consuming fatty rich foods. Fat is flavor. To much flavor and you stroke out. Was it a mild or severe stroke?

 

Did he actually have a stroke? Or was it more of a panic attack brought on by the stresses he was under knowing full well that Abadi got a hold of Barzani's books. Proof to his corruption, the money he stole from the people of Kurdistan, profits of the illegal oil sales to Iran on the black market, and a paper trails to the multi national banks he parked his ill gotten gains in. Paper trails to the properties he bought world wide with some of the profits. If so, or even if close to such a scenario has occurred, I suggest that he conveniently stroke out and onward to France in hopes Abadi will let him live with his stolen billions. If true to his word however, I will remind you a that Abadi previously stated that the CBI and the Commission on Integrity is well into the process of recovering stolen monies by properly petitioning  the banks with proof that the deposits are in fact the proceeds of illegal activities. Just saying.
