Gulf Keystone Petroleum (GKP) has said it has "temporarily shut-in production" at its Shaikan field in Iraqi Kurdistan.
In a statement this morning (Wednesday), the company said:
"Gulf Keystone has noted reports over the past two days of explosions at a number of oil fields in the vicinity of the Company's Shaikan Field.
"As a safety precaution, GKP has decided to temporarily shut-in production and has taken measures to protect staff. The Company's assets have not been impacted.
"The Company is closely monitoring the situation and will provide further updates as appropriate."
The decision follows incidents at other fields in the region on Monday night, Tuesday morning, and again on Wednesday.
