Iraq to adhere to OPEC-set oil production cuts: oil minister

30 minutes ago  |  33 Views

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region ⁠— Iraq will adhere to oil production cuts set by the intergovernmental oil organization OPEC, Iraq’s Minister of Oil said in a statement on Sunday. 

“Iraq is committed to the production cut agreement, and the total output of Iraq in the coming days will be less than what has been produced in the past months,” Minister Thamer Ghadhban, who will head the Iraqi delegation to the meeting, said according to a Ministry of Oil statement. 

On Thursday, OPEC, plus non-member major oil producers like Russia, will meet in a bid to consider oil cuts in a bid to shore up oil prices. 

Iraq, as the second largest producer within OPEC, is part of the deal, and adhered to the similar agreement that was reached last July between OPEC and Russia. 

Ghadhban, alongside his Iraqi delegation, will also participate in the meeting. 

Iraq has had higher production than its commitment to the deal in the past months because domestic demand from electricity production stations increased during the  summer. The cut in production will start in October as refineries will enter the maintenance stage and domestic demand decreases, according to Ghadhban.

Iraq’s ability to adhere to the oil cuts will be stronger is due to “serious discussionsthat have reached “advanced stages” with the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), to organize and produce the Kurdistan Region’s oil in coordination with the Iraqi federal government

“We hope to reach unified policies and plans for there to be a big role for the Iraqi oil marketing company SOMO,” said Ghadhban in the statement, referring to the State Organization for Marketing of Oil (SOMO) - an Iraqi state-run oil company.

It is not clear how many barrels of oil the Kurdistan Region produces and exports, but the independent oil sales of Kurdistan have always been a sticking point between both governments. Currently, according to Iraq’s 2019 budget bill, the KRG has to handover 250,000 of oil to the Iraqi government in exchange for the region’s share of the federal budget.

That has not happened yet, however. The independent sales of the Kurdistan Region mean that more oil from Iraq has been exported, despite the fact that the country has adhered to the past OPEC agreement in its southern and central fields.

In case of an Erbil-Baghdad agreement, it will “help Iraq” preserve its commitment to the OPEC deal, according to Ghadhban. Iraq wants “stability in the market and for no acute fluctuations that would affect the economies of producing countries, especially Iraq, be affected,” he said.

Iraq’s Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi spoke over the weekend with the powerful Saudi crown prince Mohammed Salman, with both sides agreeing on a stable oil market.

Oil Minister Thamer Ghadhban said on Monday his country was committed to complying with oil production cuts under the OPEC-led agreement to reduce supplies, adding that his country's current production levels are 4.6 million barrels per day.

Asked about the level of Iraq's commitment, Ghadhban told reporters in Abu Dhabi: "We are certainly committed to respect (cuts) ... Our exports fell by at least 150 thousand barrels per day from the south."

He said it was too early to say whether there was a need to deepen production cuts under the deal between OPEC and its allies.

U.S. And Russia Battle It Out Over This Huge Iraqi Gas Field

Profile picture for user Tyler Durden
Tue, 09/17/2019 - 19:05
 

Authored by Simon Watkins via OilPrice.com,

With the U.S, Russia, and China all jostling for position in Iraq’s oil and gas industry both north and south, Iraq’s oil ministry last week reiterated its desire to have one or more foreign partners in the Mansuriya gas field. Situated in Diyala province, close to the Iran border, Mansuriya is estimated to hold around 4.6 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, with plateau production projected at about 325 million standard cubic feet per day.

 

119657_b061bb27301b4787aa7a.jpg

For the U.S., encouraging Iraq to optimise its gas flows so that it reduces its dependency for power from Iran is the key consideration.

 
 

For Russia, Rosneft essentially bought control of the semi-autonomous region of Kurdistan in northern Iraq in November 2017, so power in southern Iraq figuratively will complete the set.

Securing oil and gas contracts across all of Iraq will allow Russia to establish an unassailable political sway across the entire Shia crescent of power in the Middle East, stretching from Syria through Lebanon (by dint of Iran), Jordan, Iraq (also helped by Iran), Iran itself, and Yemen (via Iran). From this base, it can effectively challenge the U.S.’s vital oil, gas, and political ally in the region – Saudi Arabia. China, in the meantime, is operating to its own agenda in South Pars Phase 11 and its West Karoun holdings.

Iraq, like Turkey, is still – nominally at least – not committing to either the Russia or the U.S., preferring to play each off against the other for whatever they can get, and the same applies in microcosm to the field of Mansuriya. Turkey itself was a key player in this gas field through its national oil company Turkiye Petrolleri Anonim Ortakligi (TPAO) until the middle of last year – holding a 37.5 per cent stake – along with the Oil Exploration Company (25 per cent), Kuwait Energy (22.5 per cent), and South Korea’s KOGAS (15 per cent).

TPAO had signed the original development deal for Mansuriya back in 2011, promising Iraq’s oil ministry that it could be trusted to reach plateau production within 10 years at most, a senior figure in the ministry told OilPrice.com last week. This was not an unreasonable schedule, for which TPAO would be remunerated US$7.00-7.50 per barrel of oil equivalent, a relatively generous amount compared to many of the previous awards from the ministry. TPAO agreed that the first phase would mean production of at least 100 million cubic feet a day within 12 months from the signing date.

Unsurprisingly, given the rise of Islamic State at the time, TPAO suspended all operations on Mansuriya in 2014, but more surprisingly was that it refused to resume development work in September 2017 when asked to do so by then-oil minister, Jabar al-Luaibi. There were many subsequent requests from the ministry to TPAO to resume work before the ministry rescinded the contract last July.

As it stands, Iraq’s oil ministry has made it clear that it needs Mansuriya to be properly up and running and gradually increasing production towards the 325 million standard cubic feet per day figure so that it can be used as a feedstock for the country’s calamitous power sector. Peak summer power demand every year exceeds domestic generation capacity, frequently leading to up to 20 hours per day of blackouts in many areas. Without Mansuriya and similar gas fields coming online, this will get worse, as Iraq’s population is growing at a rate of over one million per year, with electricity demand set to double by 2030, according to the International Energy Agency.

This supply-demand imbalance has resulted in Iraq’s being dependent on neighbouring Iran for a considerable amount of gas and electricity imports – around one third of its total energy supplies, in fact. Specifically, Iraq pipes in up to 28 million cubic metres of Iranian gas a day for power generation and also directly imports up to 1,300 megawatts of Iranian electricity. Even the U.S. has been forced to grant waivers for Iraq to continue to do this, given the absence of other options currently.

Playing the game of pitting one side against the other for optimal gain, the Secretary General of the Iran-Iraq Joint Chamber, Seyed Hamid Hosseini, stated recently that Iran’s gas and electricity exports to Iraq are expected to reach US$5 billion by the end of the current Iranian calendar year, ending on 21 March 2020. This comment was made at the same time as a U.S. consortium led by Honeywell signed a memorandum of understanding for a deal that would reduce the country’s current level of gas flaring by nearly 20%. Part of this deal included processing associated gas at the Siba gas field, the original deal for which was also done in 2011 and also with TPAO.

In the running at the time for both fields was Russia. So interested is it in securing gas sites in north and south Iraq, which it will eventually be able to move via its vast pipeline capabilities and networks, that even before the latest announcement on Mansuriya’s availability was made public, Gazprom Neft (the oil arm of Russia’s gas giant, Gazprom) communicated to Iraq’s current oil minister, Thamir Ghadhban, that it was ‘very interested’ in taking a role in the Mansuriya field.

“Gazprom Neft often acts as the point man for Gazprom in initial conversations, as it is a slick, well-run, Western-style company, whereas Gazprom is a bit more old-style Soviet,” said the Iraq source. “It [Gazprom Neft] also made it clear that it would be interested in other sites, such as Siba,” he added. “It should be remembered that Gazprom was in the prime position to develop the other key gas fields of North Pars, Kish, and Farzad A and B before the U.S. withdrew from the JCPOA [Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action] last year,” he concluded.

As part of Turkey's efforts to increase its imports of Iraqi oil to compensate for the shortage caused by the Iranian oil interruption, it is currently working with Iraq to establish a new oil pipeline from the Kirkuk fields to the Turkish border. Turkish Energy Minister Fatih Dunmaz visited Baghdad on August 28 and announced an agreement with Iraqi Oil Minister Thamer Ghadhban on a "strategic energy project" that includes the new pipeline to be the second between the two countries after the pipeline from Kirkuk to the Turkish port of Ceyhan on the Mediterranean. .
Iraqi Oil Ministry spokesman Asim Jihad told Al-Monitor that Iraq is pursuing a policy of multiple export outlets and seeks to provide everything necessary to ensure the continued flow of oil to world markets in parallel with the increase in production. .
He pointed out that "the Iraqi government is in the process of studying the tenders for the new pipeline between Iraq and Turkey after the completion of technical and engineering studies," likely to start work on the new pipeline project next year, said: "Iraq's crude oil exports last month amounted to 111 million And 706 barrels of which 3.6 million across the line between Kirkuk and Turkey, and the Ministry of Oil seeks to increase oil exported through the ports of the Mediterranean.
The Iraqi government expects the new pipeline to have a capacity of about 1 million barrels per day, replacing the old and dilapidated pipeline, which began operating in 1976, but has been subjected to ongoing sabotage operations, the latest of which was carried out by the Kurdistan Workers' Party (Turkish opposition) in 2015, which caused losses It was estimated at $ 500 million.
The disruption of Iranian oil due to US sanctions and the end of the grace period granted by Washington to Ankara in May is the most important reason behind the idea of the pipeline between Kirkuk and Turkey, where the Turkish government has already announced the restoration of the old oil pipeline, In May, Erdogan recommended building a pipeline capable of replacing Iranian oil.
A source familiar with the agreement to extend the new oil pipeline to "Al-Monitor" that "the reasons for the construction of the pipeline is not only related to the deterioration of the old line only, there is an important political aspect related to the deal, is the control of oil exported abroad without the consent of the Iraqi government," pointing out that "The Kurdistan Regional Government exports oil through the old line that passes through the territory of the region without the consent of the federal authorities sometimes. After covering the need of Turkey from the new line, Erbil will not be able to practice exporting alone."
The source added that the agreement is likely to be linked to the case filed by the Iraqi government against Ankara in the international courts, which ruled in compensation for Baghdad estimated at $ 26 billion due to the import of Iraqi oil from Kurdistan without Baghdad's approval during the past years.
The federal government in Baghdad agreed with the government of Erbil to deliver 250 thousand barrels per day to the National Oil Company "SOMO" in exchange for receiving the salaries of the region from the federal budget, but the Kurdish side did not abide by the agreement due to the debt owed to the region in favor of international oil companies that left the country after The ISIS occupation of Mosul and the Kirkuk measure and the Kirkuk-Turkey pipeline was vandalized and stopped working.
The Ministry of Oil in the Iraqi government in May for the Kurdish region to export 600 thousand barrels per day, which was confirmed by the Parliamentary Integrity Committee by MP Khalid Jawad in a statement to the agency "information" on September 4, saying: "The province is currently exporting 461 thousand barrels per day reported, in addition to 150 thousand barrels per day smuggling method for the purpose of non-registration. "
He pointed out that "the average daily exports of Kurdistan from three provinces up to more than 600 thousand barrels per day."
