Report .. Erbil procrastination in the delivery of oil revenues to Baghdad

 

energy Economy News - Baghdad When the Iraqi parliament passed the budget this year half a year ago, its law included clauses and conditions required by the Iraqi government to implement them, among them to hand over the Kurdistan region proceeds of selling 250 thousand barrels of oil per day to Baghdad, in exchange for salaries of regional staff and Peshmerga forces, but Kurdish leaders are hesitant until today In its payment. This position, according to the newspaper "the new Arab" back to the previous conflict over oil revenues and the division of wealth, amid pressure exerted by political forces in Baghdad on the government to get out of silence and to show the fact of what they consider Erbil evasion of previous commitments. Baghdad was supposed to receive oil revenues issued by the Ministry of Natural Resources in the Kurdistan region since the beginning of this year through Turkey to Baghdad, after the fulfillment of the Iraqi government promises and send salaries of previous months to the staff of the region, the latest batch in May. But that did not happen amid leaks and rumors circulated by political circles have not confirmed or denied by the government so far, talking about the conditions of a new Kurdish and try to link the file of the delivery of oil issue Kirkuk, and the other talk about the region has revealed debts owed to external parties and trying to pay from oil revenues that As well as his suggestion that he would like to redraft the agreement on which the current year's budget was passed in parliament. Precautionary step According to an official in the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers, the Iraqi government will soon, as a precautionary step, to announce the suspension of payment of new funds to Erbil from the share of the province approved in the budget this year, unless the Government of Kurdistan to stop procrastination in payment of dues to sell oil. The official also pointed out that Erbil is now condemning the sale of 3 million and a half million barrels to be paid for Baghdad on the price of selling world oil and not on the average price of a barrel of oil headquarters in the Iraqi budget of $ 56. He stressed that the salaries of the employees of the region will be paid normally, but that the share of the share of the development budget will be affected, while the government has several options, including the deduction of money that was not paid by the Government of Kurdistan from the sale of oil and handed over the rest of the amount. Early last month, Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi said that his government continues to pay salaries to the staff of the region, although his government did not deliver any barrels of oil to the federal government, as stipulated in the budget items, and on the basis of the agreement between the two sides. During a press conference in Baghdad on the second of last month, Abdul Mahdi pointed out that "the handover of salaries to employees is right for our people in Kurdistan because they are our children." He said that "there are political differences, and it is not proper to make them a source of threat to social peace." Abdul Mahdi said that the federal government does not pay the remaining part of the budget of the region (other than salaries), because the budget law obliged them to deduct the corresponding amounts represented by the value of 250 thousand barrels of oil per day. In the midst of several accounts of corruption in the parliament about the reason for Erbil's delay in the payment of oil revenues, based on the agreement reached earlier, the government did not confirm any novel, and did not deny, although a number of members of Parliament spoke to local media, including that Erbil introduced the issue of Kirkuk And the need to involve Peshmerga in its security file, a condition for the delivery of oil revenues. But this information seems far from reality when compared to other more acceptable accounts, including that the region entails payments to repay loans from third parties had to get after the reduction of Baghdad budget between 2014 and 2017, and needs to pay their premiums from the proceeds of the sale of oil, To a new agreement with Baghdad. Fears of the collapse of the financial agreement In another narration that the region wants to pay this money to Baghdad is slanted and waiting for Baghdad mechanism, the decision to hold Baghdad share of the region may lead to the collapse of the financial agreement on which was voted on this year's budget, which may also cause a shake in the markets of the region Depends mainly on its supplies from Baghdad. According to a member of the Kurdistan Union, Aziz Aziz, officials in the region to continue with Baghdad and the Ministry of Finance in the federal government, and the leader of the Democratic Party Fuad Hussein, ruled out in an interview for the "New Arab", that things deteriorate to the extent of Baghdad to implement the budget items in what Concerning the Territory, while consultations were continuing to resolve some technical aspects of the delivery mechanism. He also considered that "the deputies of other blocs are trying to exaggerate or distort the facts and linking the oil file with other political files." MP for the "coalition of the conquest," Mansour al-Baiji, said that "Finance Minister Fouad Hussein and Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi violated the budget agreement, because they pay salaries without oil revenues, and Abdul-Mahdi bears full responsibility before the parliament and the Iraqi street if he agreed to any condition Other than stipulated in the budget, "revealing the existence of a campaign to collect signatures to question the Minister of Finance, and has signed so far more than 70 deputies. the available choices At the time that MP Abdel Karim Abtan, the government is required to resolve the file quickly that the first half of the year has passed and did not reach any amount of oil revenues of the province to the treasury of the state, it seems that the government has many options and many, including the exercise of federal powers and does not allow the process Exporting oil from the region, by informing the countries that purchase it of the need to obtain prior permission from Baghdad. The expert on the region, Ali Naji, explained in turn that "the Kurdistan region will not leave an opportunity to return to the situation before the September 16, 2017 (that is after the referendum on the secession of the territory from Iraq) in the disputed areas, including Kirkuk." Naji told the "new Arab" that "the Kurdish parties in the region considers the imposition of Iraqi forces control of the disputed areas on 16 September 2017 national setback, and all Kurds, despite their internal differences, united by the demand to restore the situation before that stage in Kirkuk and Nineveh within the regions Disputed ", referring to the military campaign carried out by Iraqi forces and regained control of Kirkuk and other cities in the north of the country, after the organization of the province referendum for separation from Iraq.

Disputed territory agreement reached between Peshmerga and Iraqi forces: PM

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – Iraq’s Minister of Defense has reached an agreement with the Ministry of Peshmerga regarding the security of the disputed areas, Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul Mahdi told Rudaw during his weekly press conference on Tuesday.
 

“The Iraqi Government and the Ministry of Peshmerga have reached an agreement regarding the security of the disputed areas. They have decided to protect the Iraq-Syria border and the Iraq-Iran border covering a total of 500 kilometers,” Abdul-Mahdi announced.

“The agreement between the Iraqi government and the Ministry of Peshmerga is to provide security and bring stability back to the areas that are witnessing a security gap in the disputed areas,” he added.
 

The agreement focuses exclusively on matters of security and will not extend to the dilemma of output from Kirkuk’s oilfields, situated on disputed territory.

 

“The issues between the Kurdistan Region and Baghdad regarding the disputed areas are very complicated and are not easily resolvable, since the issues have been around for decades - especially oil and Kirkuk."

 

However, we are in close contact with Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) officials in order to reach a suitable solution,” Adil Abdul-Mahdi Iraqi Prime Minister said during the press conference on Tuesday evening.

In the aftermath of the Kurdish independence referendum of September 2017, the Iraqi Army and Iran-backed Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF, otherwise known as Hashd al-Shaabi) launched an offensive against Peshmerga forces in the oil-rich province of Kirkuk and other areas considered disputed between Erbil and Baghdad.

The disputed areas, suffering from a resulting security vacuum that has allowed ISIS to thrive, have borne witness to multiple car bombs, and the torching of thousands of dunams of land in Nineveh, Saladin and  Kirkuk provinces. ISIS has claimed responsibility for much of the arson through its own press outlets.  Ambushes, kidnapping, extortion, and arson have also taken place in these areas.

”There is a gap of 40 kilometers in the disputed areas that ISIS remnants have been taking advantage of, issuing threats to the civilians of the areas,” Chief of Staff for the Ministry of Peshmerga Jabar Yawar told Rudaw English.

 

Yawar added that the federal police will be in charge of  security within cities and towns; as such, the agreement between Iraqi forces and the Peshmerga will only take effect outside of urban areas.

 

“Since February 4, 2019 the Iraqi Ministry of Defense and Ministry of Peshmerga have been in meetings regarding a deal that can bring security back to all the disputed areas including Kirkuk, Diyala, Makhmour and Tuz Khurmatu,” he added.

Oil and gas laws: a crux of Erbil-Baghdad tension

By Omar Moradi 23 minutes ago

The lack of oil and gas federal legislation has been the root cause of problems between Erbil and Baghdad since the Iraqi constitution was approved in 2005. Now there is a government in Baghdad that has shown its desire to resolve these problems through dialogue, and the success of the new Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) cabinet depends on whether the oil and gas issue is resolved with Baghdad.

According to the constitution, it is the joint responsibility of both the federal and regional government to develop oil and gas resources through a particular oil and gas legislation. But as of yet, no such legislation has been passed, causing disagreements between the two governments.
 

Iraq's parliament unsuccessfully tried to pass a law on oil and gas in 2007. Following that, Kurdish parliament passed its own oil and gas law that same year, allowing the KRG to handle and develop the region’s natural resources.

The Kurdistan Region parliament’s oil and gas law gave it complete power over the region’s natural resources, much like an independent and sovereign country. The conditions of the oil market along with the law helped foreign companies invest substantially in the oil and gas sectors in the Kurdistan Region.
 

Investments in Kurdistan Region’s oil and gas sectors reached its peak when oil prices were high pre-2014, surpassing $20 billion. But after oil prices fell in mid-2014, the Kurdistan Region and the rest of the world's oil investors faced a deficit. 

This shock was especially big in the Kurdistan Region. The federal government in Baghdad cut Kurdistan Region’s share of the federal budget in 2014, after which a big financial crisis rocked the Kurdistan Region. The impact of the crisis is still seen in the Region's economy. The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) still owes money it borrowed during this time.

The KRG and federal government should resolve oil and budget problems in order for stability and certainty to return to the economy of the Kurdistan Region - otherwise a big opportunity will be missed.

The Iraqi constitution can help in this matter. According to Article 112 of the Iraqi constitution, the running of oilfields in Iraq is the responsibility of both federal and regional governments, or the provinces the oil lies in.

According to the oil and gas law of the Kurdistan Region, the KRG and its Ministry of Natural Resources are free to sign contracts with foreign companies that serve the interests of the Kurdistan Region. That is why the KRG signed nearly 50 contracts with oil companies after 2007 which are producing substantial amounts of oil and natural gas.
 

The KRG planned to produce a million barrels of oil per day, but couldn’t do so because of the Islamic State (ISIS) onslaught and falling oil prices after 2014. But because of its robust oil and gas legislation, it still has the ability to produce vast quantities of oil and gas in the coming years.

The Kurdistan Region’s oil and gas law shouldn’t be abandoned in negotiations between the KRG and federal government on the issue of oil sales and production. The oil and gas law of the Kurdistan Region allows for the setting up of a box for oil revenues. The law also considers the formation of some national companies for the exploration, production, and marketing of oil in the Kurdistan Region. The establishment of these national companies can reinvigorate the oil sector in the Kurdistan Region.

With regards to the sale of oil, the Kurdistan Region can give all or some of the oil it produces to the federal government via national companies and ask for its fair share in return. This will not reduce the Kurdistan Region’s control over its oil sector, as the KRG has its own oil and gas law, is running these sectors in its own way, and has established its own mechanism and infrastructure for the last 10 years.

Talal said in an interview with Mawazin News that "the region is currently exporting more than 600 thousand barrels per day, which amounts to 13 billion dollars, and this amount is not easy and can not be left," pointing out that "the southern provinces and its advance Basra, which exports 90% of the total production of Iraq, does not even get 5% of the total value of its projects and entitlement. 
He pointed out that "the province of Wasit is negotiating with the government on one billion and 100 million dollars," and wondered by saying: "How the region to issue oil and take the amounts and the rest of the provinces produce and export and not take the amounts?"
He explained that "Iraq exports about 4 million, for example, and from the total ratio (550 to 600 thousand barrels) outside the quota because the Kurdistan region issued and take amounts," noting that "Iraq can not complete the proportion of 4 million barrels because of Kurdistan and therefore issued The equivalent of 3 million and 400 thousand barrels, of Basra oil or Amara and Wasit. " 
He stressed Mullah Talal, "Iraq will lose the rest of the proportion of the amounts because it does not receive from the region, in addition to another problem, which are producing companies, which must in this case to reduce production and thus will be affected amounts," noting that "in this case will be adversely affected by Iraq contracts licensing round States that the producing companies get their money regardless of the price of a barrel and the extraction of oil.
And that "their request to oblige the region to hand over the oil source in exchange for the disbursement of the budget of Kurdistan, does not mean our demand to cut the salaries of staff of the region, because these employees should not be victims of differences between the Kurdistan region and Baghdad. 

Iraq
is the fifth largest producer and exporter of oil in the world, and the second largest producer in the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) after Saudi Arabia. 
In a study released on April 25, 2019, the International Energy Agency (IEA) announced that Iraq was moving in the right direction to produce nearly six million barrels of crude oil a day by 2030, making it the world's third largest oil producer. 
The report said Iraq's production in the next decade could increase by 1.3 million barrels per day to 5.9 million barrels per day, while exports could reach 4.4 million barrels per day.
"Iraq is one of the main pillars of the oil market in the coming years and will remain so," IATA president Fatih Berool told a news conference in Baghdad. 
Birol said that optimism is due to increase Iraq 's oil production by 50% since 2012, despite thedecline in prices for years and the devastation caused by the invasion of the organization of theIslamic state and its control over nearly a third of Albulad.anthy 29

Al-Kalabi added, "We support a people not a party and Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi equate the Kurds and gave them their rights, and political deals exist in the formation of the government and the state administration in general," revealing that "the region issued more than half a million barrels in 2016, 77% of the oil exported to Israel "He said.
Al-Kalabi concluded by saying that "exporting the region of oil is calculated on the share of Iraq in the {OPEC], and Iraq is losing one million and 100 thousand dollars a day because of the oil of the region, and what is happening is the opposite, the region exported oil despite the government."

BAGHDAD, Iraq -

The deputy for the wisdom bloc Ali al-Badiri, Tuesday, surprised by the "duplication" of the government deal with the oil file between the center and the south on the one hand and the Kurdistan region on the other hand, considering that that "makes us feel that Abdul Mahdi as prime minister of the Kurdistan region and not Iraq." "The Iraqi constitution clearly stressed the equality of all the Iraqi people, but the issue of exporting oil from the region did not find this thing, but there is a compliment between the rulers in the government of the territory and influential in the federal government." "The budget is clear and clearly indicated the delivery of the province 250 thousand barrels per day in exchange for access to the budget, but the fact that until the moment, the government of the region did not commit to pay the benefits of dues. "It is surprising that all the vocabulary of oil exports from the center and the south are being carefully scrutinized and the government is making allowances for widows, orphans and needy within the allocations of social welfare, but it simply turns a blind eye to the smuggling of oil and waste of money in the Kurdistan region." He went on to say that "duplication of the government's handling is surprising and we did not find an explanation until we feel that Adel Abdul Mahdi is the prime minister of the region and not Iraq as a whole because he is keen on the interests of the region and at the same time we find it neglects the rights of citizens in the south." "It is sad that those who do not enforce the law and punish those who advocate their legitimate rights in the center and south are rewarded. We believe that the prime minister bears full responsibility for the chaos that is now taking place. Territory ". It is noteworthy that the Speaker of the House of Representatives Mohamed Halboussi, on Monday, hosted the Minister of Oil Thamer Ghadhban and Finance Minister Fouad Hussein, as well as the representative of the Prime Minister and the Office of Financial Control on Thursday, on the implementation of the special budget law on the commitment to export quantities of oil from the region.
