There is a huge space of ambiguit...Dear anonymous,<br /><br />There is a huge space of ambiguity with both sides' statements, I mean Hawrami and al-Shahristani.<br /><br />Until now both of them are deliberately avoiding the talk about fate of these contracts or whether there will be any modifications.<br /><br />I heard from some sources close to Baghdad and Erbil that this issue (how the companies will be paid) is still pending and the two sides are still discussing it.<br /><br />In addition to what Addax put in its statement, my guess says that there will be something in this regard.kassakhoonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8456600971377438109.post-20724296838213026472009-05-11T21:01:00.000+03:002009-05-11T21:01:00.000+03:00Dear Kassakhoon,
Which contracts are the Iraq Oil...Dear Kassakhoon,<br /><br />Which contracts are the Iraq Oil Ministery having in mind in this statement today?<br /><br />Quoto:<br />"The Iraqi Oil Ministry still considers contracts signed by Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) with foreign oil companies illegal"<br /><br />This can't be the contracts which just have been approved export from 1 June 2009.<br /><br />In same articel:<br /><br />Quote:<br />"News that oil from Kurdistan's Tawke and Taq Taq fields could finally be sold outside Iraq was seen as a possible sign that the Iraqi government in Baghdad, which has long opposed the Kurdish contracts, had changed course." <br /><br />As far as I see the statement from Iraq today DOES NOT change anything with regards to the Tawke and Taq Taq fields that ave been approved export-license.<br /><br />What do you think about it.<br /><br />Ref. the link:<br /><br />http://kurdsat.tv/E_Zyatir.aspx?CoriHewal=Kurdistani&Rizbendi=2810Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
