8th February, 2018

Kurdistan Alliance MP Ashwaq Al-Jaf on Thursday called on donor countries to participate in the Iraq reconstruction conference by providing infrastructure projects instead of funds to ensure the return of the displaced as soon as possible.

Al-Jaf said in a statement received by the "Economy News" a copy of it, "The donor countries to take the initiative to work on the provision of infrastructure projects in the liberated areas instead of providing funds that may go some or a large part of them into the pockets of corrupt instead of benefiting the citizen, As happened in the file of the High Commission overseeing the displaced and identified by the parliamentary committee in its report.

She pointed out that "the start of donor countries to rebuild the vital projects and the erosion, especially in the liberated areas is reflected directly positively on the people of those areas, rather than delay in the completion of projects through advances or grants that are delayed periods of disbursement and conversion."

Now there's a good idea !   ...

Have the donors come in and do the projects...

oversee their funds in action...

and keep the cash out of the hands of those who may feel inclined to steal it or reroute it...

Iraq needs help and 1000's are willing to help...

but the 1000's want to see some actual tangible results for their money and efforts... 

perhaps a money-making business partnership...

not another suddenly, mysteriously wealthy politician or official buying 3 homes and Lambos for all his kids...imo.

2-8-2018  Guest Guru BobTheTaxMan  There are a lot of great changes that have gone on in the tax world…

So this whole new concept that Trump Administration has fathered and brought forth has a lot of benefits to it.  

You just need to understand what it is.  

And because it’s different, a lot of people are afraid of it.  

Don’t be afraid of it…cause it really is a great opportunity.  

Tremendous opportunity especially if you keep viewing the dinar.  

Somewhere down the road it is going to come to fruition.  

It is going to happen.  

These new rules and regulations for the IRS are phenomenal.

An accelerating revolution to increase oil refining capacity in Iraq

 

9th February, 2018
The pace of the restructuring of the Iraqi Oil Ministry, which became the only point of light in the crippled economy of the country, accelerated with the signing of an agreement for the construction of a refinery in Kirkuk 10 days after the announcement of the FAO refinery project, accelerating the rehabilitation of the Baiji refinery and plans to build three other refineries.

The Iraqi Oil Ministry announced yesterday that it signed an agreement to build an oil refinery near the northern city of Kirkuk with a capacity of about 70 thousand barrels per day. The agreement was signed with Rania International, based in the semi-independent Kurdistan region, and the company will be an investor in the refinery.

The project comes after the announcement on January 29 of plans to build a refinery in the port of Faw and three refineries in the southern region of Nasiriyah and in Anbar province west of the country and in Qayara near the city of Mosul in northern Iraq.

The Kirkuk refinery will produce high-octane gasoline and some other petroleum products, the ministry said in a statement, without elaborating on the cost or more information about Rania International.

Iraq had signed an agreement with China's Power China and Nerco to build a 300,000 bpd oil refinery and a petrochemical complex in Basra.

Iraq, OPEC's second-largest producer, wants to build at least five new refineries after its oil refining capacity has been severely reduced by the damage to the country's largest refinery, Baiji, during a takeover by an organization in mid-2014.

$ 5 billion value of Iraq's annual imports of oil derivatives, according to official data

Iraqi forces recovered Baiji in 2015 and the refinery is expected to resume partially this year. Iraq is currently relying on the Dora refinery in Baghdad and Shuaiba in southern Iraq.

The oil ministry announced at the end of last month the start of work on the rehabilitation of Baiji refinery and preparations began to restart the unit capacity of refining 70 thousand barrels per day during the period from 6 to 9 months.

He added in a statement that a second unit of capacity of 70 thousand barrels per day will be operated after that. The Baiji refinery was refining around 175,000 bpd before falling into the grip of a hasty organization.

"The establishment of Kirkuk refinery represents the first step to invest in the refining sector to reach the production capacity of oil derivatives covering the local need in the province and neighboring provinces," Oil Minister Jabbar Laibi said. He added that "the project comes within the plans and programs of the ministry to cover the local need of oil derivatives in the country and work on the export of surplus through investment refineries projects."

It is estimated that it imports $ 5 billion a year in oil derivatives to meet the domestic needs of about 600,000 barrels a day, much of which is used in power plants.

He pointed out that the ministry is exerting efforts "to upgrade the oil industry in Kirkuk province and the implementation of a number of development projects and rehabilitation of oil fields and facilities and infrastructure and the extension of oil pipeline networks."

"The company will work to build the refinery according to international standards and will abide by the dates of completion of construction and operation," said Galal Haji Ahmed, director of Rania Company, which invests in the refinery. Iraqi forces have recovered all oil fields in the oil-rich province of Kirkuk and disputed areas in the northern provinces controlled by the Kurds since 2014, because of the chaos left by an offensive attack.

Analysts say the oil ministry has become the only point of light in Iraq's crippled economy since he took over as deputy director of the ministry in August 2016 and has since begun to repair the chaos that pervaded the ministry at the time.

He began reviewing contracts with foreign oil companies unfairly entered into by Hussein al-Shahristani, who is responsible for the energy file in the government of former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki. These contracts give foreign companies significant concessions to cover their expenses without a specific ceiling, as well as up to $ 21 per barrel of oil production.

Recently, efforts to stop the burning of gas associated with oil production have accelerated, and Iraq plans to start exporting gas to Kuwait at a rate of 50 million cubic feet of gas per day, which will later increase to 200 million cubic feet per day.

At the end of last year, the Ministry of Oil set new standards in a contract signed with China's Genghua Company to develop an oil field in eastern Baghdad worth $ 3 billion, which for the first time in decades included the construction of a residential city and service facilities including a school and a medical clinic.

In an atmosphere of optimism to improve the business climate in the Iraqi oil sector, the head of Crescent Petroleum UAE Badr Jafar said yesterday that the company plans to double its production of gas in Iraq within 3 years to reach 500 million cubic feet per day.
