Iraq has concluded several agreements with foreign companies to start drilling oil wells in several governorates, including Kirkuk, Baghdad, Basra, Maysan and Dhi Qar.<\/p>\n

The agreements came within the framework of the Iraqi Oil Ministry’s<\/a> plan to raise oil production to 8 million barrels per day by the end of 2027.<\/p>\n

Oil is Iraq\u2019s main source of income. The government is working to expand oil production in light of the stifling financial crises that the country is experiencing.<\/p>\n

Foreign companies<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Iraq has raised oil production since its prices fell globally due to the pandemic, in parallel with the corruption that dominates state institutions and the control of parties and mafias over Iraqi import outlets, including border crossings and ports, and the management of the oil file and others.<\/p>\n

According to the director of the Iraqi Drilling Company, affiliated to the Ministry of Oil, Bassem Abdul Karim, \u201cthe company is in the process of signing a contract to drill 37 oil wells in the Zubair oil field, for the Italian company Eni, the main operator of the field in Basra Governorate, for a period of more than two years\u201d.<\/p>\n

He also added, in a statement to the official Al-Sabah newspaper, that “Eni recently handed over 14 oil wells to the ministry, and started drilling three new ones within a previous contract, bringing the total drilling contracts to about 54 wells in the giant field\u201d.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that \u201cafter entering into a competition with major foreign drilling companies to acquire a contract to drill 30 wells in the Rumaila field, west of Basra, the contract was referred to the British oil company BP.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe company’s readiness to start drilling operations directly if its victory is announced,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cA contract was signed with the Chinese company Cinoc, the operator of the Bazarkan field in Maysan, to drill 22 wells, in partnership with the Chinese company, Bohan, at a cost of up to $160 million,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that \u201ca preliminary agreement was reached with the Chinese company Cinoc to reclaim 150 wells in the Bazarkan field in two phases: the first is 71 wells, and the second will be implemented later.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also stressed that \u201cthe company is currently implementing a plan to drill 20 wells in the Nasiriyah field, with the participation of the American Weatherford International company, which will enhance the strategy to escalate production and export capacity in the future by up to 60,000 barrels per day, and that it is estimated that it contains about 4.4 billion barrels of crude.\u201d<\/p>\n

Increase production<\/strong><\/h2>\n

For his part, an official in the North Oil Company said that \u201cthe contracts come within the ministry’s efforts to increase oil production.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ministry will bear the preparation of the technical aspects of the companies, and provide them with other on-site facilities,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The source added, asking not to be named, that \u201cthe companies adhered to the special timings for delivering the wells, and that the contracts included a penalty clause in the event that the companies delayed the completion of the wells within the specified period.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last March, the ministry awarded the US company \u201cSchlumberger\u201d a contract worth $480 million to drill 96 oil wells in the south of the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
