Energy Committee approves draft Oil, Gas Law


Recommended Posts

(Alias HCL ... :twothumbs: )

Baghdad (NINA) – The Energy Committee, headed by Deputy Prime Miister, Hussein al-Shehristani, approved the amendment endorsed on the draft Oil and Gas Law prepared by the Ministry of Oil.

A statement issued on Wednesday, July 13, by the Deputy Prime Minister’s Office said, “The meeting was attended by ministers of Oil, Electricity, Science and Technology, Water Resources and Provinces’ Affairs.

It added that, “The Amendments have been referred to the Council of Ministers.”

It is noteworthy that on the current July 2, Parliament’s Oil and Energy Committee demanded Parliament to issue instructions to delay concluding any new contracts related to the production of crude oil and natural gas, and to speed up enacting Oil and Gas Law to be a legal cover to any future contracts, whether by the Federal Government or the regions and provinces.

It called on Parliament to vote on the necessity to comply by the Constitution’s articles with regards to contracts related to the production of oil and natural gas.

It is worth mentioning that the Oil and Gas Law was among the important law that previous Parliament failed to enact it and had it sent to current Parliament.

Parliamentary commission submits amended oil and gas bill to ministerial board

14/07/2011 14:06

Baghdad, July 14 (AKnews) – An ammended draft oil and gas bill has been sent to the council of ministers for voting, the government's Energy Commission, said on Thursday.

Faisal Abdullah, the Deputy Prime Minister for Energy Affair’s media director, told AKnews that the bill will go to parliament for ratification once the cabinet has passed its own amendments.

"The Ministers Council will in turn make the appropriate modifications on the draft bill that aims to support the raising of the level of oil production,” he said.

The new law is said to provide an appropriate environment for energy investment in Iraq, including oil, gas and will also encourage the local workers to compete for work according to world contexts in the extraction of oil from fields under the management of the national oil company.

The Iraqi National Oil Company (INOC) was formed according to Act No. 11 of 1964 and Act no. 97 issued on the same year to regulate the investment of the Iraqi National Oil Company of the areas allocated to them.

The center of the Iraqi National Oil Company was integrated with the center of the Oil Ministry according to the decision of the disbanded Revolutionary Command Council number 267 on April 26 - 1987, and this decision was considered as a cancelation for the company.

A number of experts concerned in oil studies believe that Iraq lacks clear political policy which was a reason in delaying the development of its oil wealth.

The Ministry of Oil announced in September last year that the Iraq’s proven reserves of oil reached 33.463 billion barrels in the northern and southern oil fields, particularly in the fields of Qurna and Zubair.

Iraq signed oil contracts with international energy companies at the beginning of this year after two rounds of licenses to develop ten oil fields were tendered.

Iraq has the fourth-largest oil reserves in the world and crude oil exports constitute about 95% of Iraq's federal budget.

what dose this mean

From what I understand when the HCL law gets passed, each Iraqi citizen will get a portion of the revenue from oil sales. That is why when the article came out last week about the census that was also big news. The census and the HCL law are tied together so Iraq can proplerly compensate each citizen.

If I am incorrect someone feel free to jump in.
