Exxon Mobil Deal Not Related to US Sanction Waiver: Iraqi PM

 
 Basnews English 07/05/2019 - 17:18 Published in Iraq
 

ERBIL — Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi said on Tuesday that the deal his country is about to sign with Exxon Mobil is not related to the sanctions waiver that Washington has granted to allow Baghdad to continue economic cooperation with Iran.

As part of an energy megaproject, Iraq is close to signing a $53 billion, 30-year agreement with Exxon Mobil and PetroChina to develop oil infrastructure in the south, Reuters cited the Iraqi prime minister.

His comment came after Iran’s Ambassador to London claimed the US will grant waivers to Iraq for economic cooperation with Tehran only if Baghdad signs an oil deal with Exxon Mobil.

“US to extend Iraq’s waiver to continue dealing with Iran economically despite US sanctions if Iraq signs a deal before 14 June with Exxon Mobil,” Ambassador Hamid Baeidinejad retweeted a post by the son of Iraqi MP Masha’an al-Jebouri, as quoted by Iran Front Page.

Iraq is heavily dependent on Iran’s gas to supply its electrical power plants. Washington has granted the Iraqi government a special exemption to continue the energy imports from Iran, but urged Baghdad to also find an alternative soon.

ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi on Tuesday said his country is close to signing a $53 billion, 30-year energy agreement with Exxon Mobil and PetroChina.

The country expects to generate $400 billion over the three-decade-long agreement, Abdul-Mahdi said.

He also denied the existence of any link between the mega-project and the United States’ permission for Iraq to do business with neighboring Iran.

The project, which is located in the country’s south, involves upgrading the Nahr Bin Umar and Artawi oilfields and boosting output from the two oilfields from 125,000 barrels per day (bpd) to 500,000 bpd, the prime minister said.

Iranian media quoted the country’s top envoy in London on Monday, who reportedly said Washington would grant sanction waivers to Iraq to economically deal with Iran in exchange for Baghdad inking an oil deal with the US.

“Talks now between the oil ministry and Exxon Mobil and PetroChina are focused on how to split profits if oil prices rise or decline,” Abdul Mahdi told a Reuters reporter.

“The deal lasts for 30 years, and such financial details are sensitive and should be given more discussions,” he added.

Iraq is the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries’ (OPEC) second-largest producer just after Saudi Arabia and currently has an output below its maximum capacity of nearly five million bpd.

The agreement is one of a few key strategic deals for Iraq. The signing of the project is expected to considerably boost Exxon Mobil’s plans to expand in the oil-rich country.

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq is close to signing a $ 53 billion energy deal with Exxon Mobil and PetroChina, Iraq's prime minister said yesterday, denying any link between the huge project and US authorization for Iraq to deal with Iran.

 

Abdul-Mahdi said that Iraq expects to make $ 400 billion over the thirty years that will be in agreement, according to the agency «Reuters». He added that the giant project in southern Iraq includes the development of the fields of Ben Omar and Artawi oil, and increase production from the two fields to 500 thousand barrels per day from about 125 thousand barrels per day at the moment. This project is important for pumping water in the oil fields in the south in order to increase pressure and maintain the stability of production.

"Talks between the Oil Ministry, ExxonMobil and PetroChina are focusing on how to split profits if oil prices go up or down," Abdul Mahdi said. "The agreement lasts 30 years, and these financial details are sensitive and should be subject to further discussion," he said.

"Exxon Mobil and PetroChina will build a water pumping project in the oil wells in the south, along with the rehabilitation and construction of new export pipelines," Abdul Mahdi said. The project also aims to handle 100 million standard cubic feet of natural gas per day from the Artawi and Ben Omar fields.

Media reports quoted Iran's ambassador to London as saying that the United States would grant exemptions allowing Iraq to deal economically with Iran in return for Baghdad signing an oil deal with Washington.

Iraq does not import oil and has an exemption from the United States allowing it to import natural gas from Iran. "US sanctions target only countries that buy Iranian oil, and Iraq does not buy any Iranian crude," an Iraqi oil official told Reuters. As for the gas, to my knowledge will not affect (the termination of exemptions on gas imports) at the present time. Gas exemption still exists.
