Baghdad-Iraq today:

Once again, the dispute between Baghdad and Erbil over Kurdistan's oil contracts is escalating, following the Federal Court's decision, which decided their illegality.

On February 15, the Federal Supreme Court of Iraq issued a ruling declaring the unconstitutionality of the Oil and Gas Law of the Kurdistan Regional Government, issued in 2007, and repealing the law for violating the provisions of constitutional articles, as well as obligating the region to hand over oil production to the federal government.

And the Kurdistan region had begun to sell oil in isolation from the federal government, after a stifling financial crisis as a result of the collapse of oil prices during the ISIS invasion of areas in Iraq, as well as the disputes with Baghdad that prompted the latter to stop paying the salaries of the region's employees.

The regional government began exporting and selling crude oil to international markets in October 2012, after contracting with major international companies, including "Exxon Mobil", to explore and extract oil, which angered the Baghdad authorities, who considered it a violation of the provisions of the constitution.

Since then, Baghdad and Erbil have been in a state of controversy and disagreement over oil revenues and the accuracy of the numbers of quantities exported through Kurdistan, as well as the ongoing conflict over the disputed areas between the center and the region.

The Baghdad authorities have long called on the regional government to submit statements of its oil exports and oblige to hand over its financial imports to the federal treasury, after stipulating that in return for securing Kurdistan's operating expenses.

The Iraqi Oil Minister, Ihsan Abdul-Jabbar, had proposed last April, the establishment of a new oil company in Erbil that would manage the entire oil activity according to the powers, standards and assets that are prepared and assessed by the National Oil Company and the Federal Ministry of Oil.

According to the same proposal, Abdul-Jabbar called for opening a bank escrow account in an international bank for the purpose of depositing all revenues from the sale and export of crude oil, provided that it was owned by the Ministry of Finance and used to secure payments for the region in the event of a delay in sending it from the Federal Ministry of Finance.

On May 19, after the failure of negotiations with Erbil, the Iraqi Ministry of Oil asked oil and gas companies operating in the Kurdistan region to sign new contracts with the state-owned Marketing Company (SOMO) instead of the regional government, in a new attempt to control revenues from the region. semi-independent.

The Ministry of Oil confirmed that it would start implementing the Federal Court ruling issued in February, "which considered the legal foundations of the oil and gas sector in the Kurdistan region unconstitutional after the failure of talks with the regional government."

Article 11 of the Iraqi constitution in force for 2005 states: "Oil and gas belong to all the Iraqi people in all regions and governorates."

Iraqi Kurdish Prime Minister Masrour Barzani said on Tuesday that the semi-autonomous region rejected a federal court ruling on its oil and gas activities as “political” and not constitutional.

Iraq’s federal court has deemed an oil and gas law regulating the oil industry in Iraqi Kurdistan unconstitutional and demanded that Kurdish authorities hand over their crude supplies.

مسرور بارزاني: قرار المحكمة الاتحادية سياسي ونحتاج للمجتمع الدولي لوقف الهجمات على كوردستان (shafaq.com)

 

News/ The Prime Minister of Kurdistan Region, Masrour Barzani said today, Tuesday, that the region rejects the ruling issued by the Federal Court in Baghdad regarding its oil and gas activities, describing it as “political” and unconstitutional. The Federal Court in Iraq considered the oil and gas law that regulates the oil industry in the Kurdistan Region unconstitutional, and demanded that the Kurdish authorities hand over their supplies of crude. Iraq then asked oil and gas companies operating in the Kurdistan region to sign new contracts with the state-owned marketing company "SOMO" instead of the regional government. On May 7, Minister of Oil Ihsan Abdul-Jabbar said that the Oil Ministry would start implementing the Federal Court ruling issued in February, which considered the legal foundations of the oil and gas sector in the Kurdistan Region unconstitutional after talks with the regional government failed. Masrour Barzani said during his participation, in a panel discussion on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, "...in the framework of the elections that were organized in Iraq, there were winners and losers. Unfortunately, the winners were not able to form a government because of the requirement of a two-thirds quorum in Parliament, in return were There are attacks on the region, which can be interpreted as aiming to pressure the tripartite coalition (Al-Sadr, Sunnis and Kurds) to withdraw from the coalition, and it is also a message that interference in internal affairs will continue, unfortunately, and to curb these attacks we need the international community, especially the United States of America And other countries that have interests in the region, the sovereignty and sanctity of Iraqi soil must be respected." The Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Regional Government added: "To reduce Iranian influence, Iraqis must own their destiny by respecting the constitution. Today we have a constitution, but the important articles of many components are ignored."

Thanks for your input Dinarrock,
Why they didn’t kick the Iraqi army azz when the Iraqi army took control of the oil well in kirkuk in October 2017?

At that time kirkuk was under control of Peshmerga Fighters.

Good point granted who knows why they didn’t. Maybe they didn’t want to ruffle the feathers, maybe Trump made a call and told them to let them have it who knows. But one thing I do know is the Iraqi Army is no match for the Kurds Peshmerga in an all out civil war for sure!
