Government slowed Exxon Mobil days to clarify its position on Contracts for the Kurdistan region

The government gave the American company Exxon Mobil days to clarify its position on the company held by oil deals with Kurdistan Region and the government considers illegal.

Said Faisal Al-Abdullah, spokesman for Deputy Prime Minister for Energy, Hussein al-Shahristani said, "Exxon Mobil has asked the government last month granted the time to respond on its contracts with the region's oil," noting that "the time will be finished within the next few days."

The Kurdistan Regional Government announced in November the signing of contracts for six exploration blocks with Exxon Company, the first major oil deal with the region directly, stating that the production sharing contract with Exxon took place in the eighteenth October 2011.

The central government in Baghdad had announced earlier that "the agreement may harm your hold Exxon to develop the first phase of the giant West Qurna field in southern Iraq." http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ar&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.radiodijla.com%2Fcgi-bin%2Fnews%2Fdisplay.pl
