Iraq and BP discuss Kirkuk Oilfield Development, Gas Utilisation

By John Lee.

In a statement from the Ministry, Iraq's Minister of Oil, Hayan Abdul Ghani, noted ongoing negotiations with BP to finalise technical, economic, and contractual aspects of the Kirkuk oilfield development.

Senior officials from the Ministry, the North Oil Company (NOC), and BP, including the head of BP Iraq, participated in the talks.

The Minister emphasised the Ministry's commitment to developing oilfields under North Oil Company to boost production and gas utilisation for energy and industry.

During a meeting, discussions focused on advancing negotiations with BP to enhance operations at four key fields: Bai Hassan, Kirkuk (Baba and Avana domes), Jambur [Jambour], and Khabbaz.

Last month, BP signed a preliminary letter of technical alignment with Iraq regarding the Kirkuk fields.
