Iraq PM tolerates Erbil’s oil sales for sake of stability: analyst

ABU DHABI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES – Oil has long bedeviled relations between Erbil and Baghdad, yet the government of Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi appears to have taken a far more lenient stance on the Kurdistan Region’s control of its wells than his predecessors, Robin Mills, CEO of Qamar Energy and author of The Myth of the Oil Crisis, told Rudaw.

Erbil and Baghdad struck a deal as part of the 2019 budget bill to reinstate the Kurdistan Region’s share of the federal budget in exchange for 250,000 barrels per day (bpd) of oil to be sold through the state oil marketing body SOMO. 

The Iraqi government of former prime minister Nouri al-Maliki had cut the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) share of the budget from 17 percent to zero in 2014 in response to the Region’s independent sale of oil.

Although the Region is now receiving its share of the budget, albeit at a reduced rate of around 12 percent, Baghdad is yet to receive a single barrel of oil from Erbil. The KRG has meanwhile continued with its independent oil sales, angering many Iraqi lawmakers. 

Mills, an expert in world oil markets, believes Abdul-Mahdi has allowed the arrangement to continue unchallenged for the sake of unity and stability as the country emerges from years of conflict and internal rivalry.

“I think for now there has been a temporary arrangement which has worked quite well,” Mills told Rudaw on the sidelines of the 24th World Energy Congress in Abu Dhabi last week. 

“The federal government is delivering the budget to the Kurdish region, the Kurdistan Region is able to export its oil and earn some revenues from that, and at the same time it’s exporting a certain amount of federally controlled oil as well through its own pipelines that couldn’t get to Turkey and couldn’t get to the market otherwise. So that’s cooperative.”

The issue could still rupture ties between Erbil and Baghdad, however, Mills warned, if the Iraqi side feels it is getting too little in return.  

“I think obviously one big issue in this is still the issue of the control of oil... but we have known for a long time the federal government has maintained that it should have control over all oil and sales, including those from the Kurdistan Region,” Mills said.

“And then I think there are a certain number of people in federal Iraq who feel that they are delivering a lot of budget to the Kurdistan Region, which effectively comes from oil sales in Basra, without having full control over the oil sales from the Kurdistan Region. So they feel perhaps they are giving more than their fair share.”

The spirit of goodwill that Erbil has enjoyed since Abdul-Mehdi came to power in late 2018 should not be taken for granted, Mills warned, as the return of a more hardline leader like former prime minister Haider al-Abadi could see the KRG squeezed once more. 

“I think so far Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi has been prepared to continue that for the sake of holding the country together and making sure the Kurdistan Region remains stable,” Mills said. “But of course he may not be prime minister forever and we need to see if a new government might take a different view on that.”

Iraq has on several occasions hinted at plans to build a new pipeline with neighboring Turkey as an alternative route bypassing the Persian Gulf, where US-Iran tensions threaten to disrupt exports. 

Rudaw asked Mills whether the existing pipeline linking the Kurdistan Region with Turkey’s seaport at Ceyhan could offer Baghdad this desired alternative to export oil from Kirkuk.

“This is a very important route, of course, because Iraq at the moment has no way to export oil except through the Gulf,” said Mills. “And we have seen attacks on tankers in the Gulf and drone attacks on pipelines in Saudi Arabia.”

Baghdad will be looking to balance the security of its exports against its desire to move oil without having to depend on the Kurdistan Region, Mills said.

International oil companies are pleased with improvements in the regularity of the Kurdistan Region’s payments for the development of its oilfields, Mills said, and have praised the Region’s production sharing contracts.

These contracts have been “very successful in attracting investment” as “generally they give a fair return to the company and they still keep most of the profits for the Kurdistan Region”.

Current oil production in the Kurdistan Region stands at around 400,000 bpd and “has been rising”, he said.

“If we look at the Tawke area in Duhok which is developed now by DNO, that has increased production quite a bit... with the development of a new field in Fishkhabur so that is been really helping production. And Khurmala which is operated by KAR Group is increasing production as well and Atrush which is produced by TAQA, the government company of Abu Dhabi... that is also increasing production. Those are the main ones that have been gaining,” he said.

“For next year, production will increase from 400,000 to 450,000 or so and the challenge is I think to increase it in the next few years,” he added.

Kurdistan Ready to Address All Disputes with Iraq Based on Constitution: PM

 
 BasNews   19/09/2019 - 22:23  Published inKurdistan
 

ERBIL - The Kurdistan Region is ready to resolve all its disputes with Iraq in accordance with the Constitution, as addressing the remaining issues would serve all sides, Prime Minister Masrour Barzani said on Thursday.

Barzani made the remarks during a meeting with Iraqi Parliament Speaker Mohammed al-Halbusi on the sidelines of the first graduation ceremony of the American University of Kurdistan (AUK), in Duhok province, where the two leaders exchanged views on the ties between Erbil and Baghdad.

The Kurdish premier further argued that Iraq should treat the Kurdistan Region as a constitutional region, stressing on closer cooperations to ensure the security of the country and fight the remnants of the Islamic State (IS) which still impose a great threat in the liberated areas.

Halbusi, in return, hailed the progress in the relations between the Kurdistan Region and Iraq, hoping that the two sides would reach a final agreement on solving the remaining issues.

Concerning negative rumors on Erbil-Baghdad relations, Halbusi asserted that Iraq has stayed positive about the talks with the Kurdistan Region.

Before sending oil, Kurds want Baghdad to clear their debts

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – Baghdad should pay Erbil’s debts to international oil companies before the Kurdish administration agrees to send 250,000 barrels per day (bpd) of oil to Iraq in exchange for its share of the federal budget, Kurdish MPs have said.

The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) owes oil companies operating in the Kurdistan Region $24 billion in unpaid petrodollars to develop its oil facilities.

Iraq’s former prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki, cut the KRG’s share of the federal budget from 17 percent to zero in 2014 after the semiautonomous region began selling its oil independently.

This loss of revenues plunged the KRG into a debt crisis as its bills went unpaid.

Faced with a financial ruin, falling oil prices, a costly war with the Islamic State group (ISIS), and the burden of two million displaced Iraqis, the KRG was forced to introduce austerity measures, including the hated salary-saving scheme.

The wildly unpopular measure slashed the salaries of KRG employees and delayed payments for months at a time. Fed up with the austerity measures, public sector employees went on strike in early 2018.

Iraqi PM Adil Abdul-Mehdi, who took office in late-2018, reinstated the KRG’s share of the federal budget, albeit at the reduced rate of around 12 percent. In exchange, the KRG was asked to send 250,000 bpd of oil to Iraq’s state oil marking body SOMO. 

To date, Erbil has not kept its end of the bargain, however. Talks are now underway to break the impasse. 

Jamal Kochar, a Kurdish lawmaker in the Iraqi parliament, told Rudaw on Sunday that an agreement between Erbil and Baghdad on the oil-for-budget arrangement is not expected any time soon, as Baghdad has so far refused to pay the KRG’s debts owed to the oil companies.

“I’m not very optimistic about the talks between Erbil and Baghdad,” Kochar said. “Erbil believes that Baghdad should repay the KRG debts to the oil companies accumulated over the years.”

Baghdad thinks it is the KRG’s responsibility to repay its own debts, Kochar said.

The MP suggested one compromise could be for Baghdad to repay the debts gradually, and then deduct the amount from the KRG’s share of the federal budget.

The Iraqi government has $87 billion in reserves and can easily afford to repay the debts, he claimed.

Erbil-Baghdad relations have vastly improved since Abdul-Mahdi took office last year.

However, Iraqi lawmakers are pressuring Abdul-Mahdi’s government  to implement the agreement, accusing him of being too soft on the KRG,  which is yet to send a single barrel of oil to Baghdad in exchange of  its 2019 budget share.

Falih al-Khazaali, an Iraqi lawmaker, has urged Abdul-Mahdi’s government to freeze the KRG’s share of the budget until oil deliveries are secured.

“We are pressuring the Iraqi PM to force the KRG to send the 250,000 barrels to Baghdad and implement the 2019 budget agreement efficiently or else cut the KRG share,” Khazaali told Rudaw on Sunday. 

“We will keep on putting pressure on the Iraqi government to force the KRG to implement the budget agreement – otherwise we will start working on withdrawing confidence from Abdul-Mahdi’s cabinet.”

Khazaali does not believe the 2020 budget bill will pass easily.

Kurdish lawmakers in the Iraqi parliament have advised the KRG to start sending Baghdad the 250,000 bpd to avoid losing out in the 2020 budget.

“In order to minimize the pressures on Adil Abdul-Mahdi in Baghdad, the KRG should hand over the 250,000 barrels of oil every day to Baghdad in order to gain economic and political stability in Kurdistan Region,” Sherwan Mirza, a Kurdish lawmaker in the Iraqi parliament, told Rudaw. 

“However, the KRG should receive at least a 12.67 percent share from the federal budget when the export of 250,000 barrels of oil begins through SOMO.”

According to Mirza, Baghdad is currently sending the KRG just 454 billion IQD – enough to cover public sector salaries. Under the 2019 budget agreement, Baghdad is supposed to send the KRG an additional 68 billion IQD to pay the salaries of its Peshmerga armed forces.

According to the Kurdistan Region’s Energy and Natural Resource Parliamentary Committee, Erbil and Baghdad also disagree over precisely how much oil the KRG is exporting to the Turkish port of Ceyhan via its pipeline.

The KRG claims it is exporting 435,000 bpd, while Baghdad believes the figure is closer to 500,000 bpd.

“The oil and gas committee in the Iraqi parliament has established a committee consisting of seven MPs in order to investigate about KRG’s oil exportation,” Balin Ismael, head of the KRG’s parliamentary committee, told Rudaw on Sunday.

“The committee is expected to visit the Kurdistan Region soon to investigate the number of oil barrels the KRG exports every day,” he added.

Ismael also says the KRG should send Baghdad the 250,000 bpd it asked for as soon as possible to secure its share of the 2020 budget.

“The KRG, by securing its share of the 2020 budget, will bring more political and economic stability to the Region,” Ismael said.

A KRG delegation will also soon visit Baghdad to thrash out the issue, after Abdul-Mahdi returns from a high-level visit to China.

Relations between Baghdad and Erbil turned sour after Erbil went ahead with its referendum for independence from Iraq in September 2017, a move that culminated in an embargo on international flights in and out of the Kurdistan Region and Iraqi security forces retaking the disputed territories previously controlled by the Peshmerga.
