Iraq has 144bn barrels of oil reserves and yet remains one of the world’s least explored major producing country . The giant fields of the south hold the majority of these reserves . Crude oil production in 2014 was above 3.4 mmboepd, forecast to increase to over 7 mmboepd . Iraq will move to 4th largest oil producer, behind Saudi Arabia, Russia and the U.S. by 2017 . There has been a rapid widening of Iraq's petroleum sector to foreign participation in the last five years . More than 25 international oil companies now have a licence interest in Iraq . Producing fields in Iraq are operated under Technical Services Contracts (TSC), offering some of the most stringent terms in the Middle East . Most of the major IOCs hold strategic positions in Iraq, focussing on developing large-scale projects in the south and have to-date shown little interest in picking up exploration acreage due to non-friendly investor terms . Ongoing restructuring of existing contracts and rumoured new investor friendly terms on new licensing rounds may reverse this trend 3 1. Oil Sector Overview ## 2. Infrastructure Overview ## 3.

Iraq’s first wells were drilled in Chia Surkh in 1902 and encountered oil 350 and gas shows, but were abandoned for more productive prospects 300 elsewhere 250 . In 1927, major oil exploration got underway, with huge deposits 200 144 bnboe discovered in Mosul province 150 . Two years later, the Iraqi Petroleum Company, comprising of No. of barrels (bn) 100 Anglo-Iranian (today British Petroleum), Shell, Mobil and Standard Oil of New Jersey (today Exxon), began producing oil 50 0 . Super giant discoveries were soon be made, starting with Kirkuk field by the Turkish Petroleum Company in 1927, followed by: . Zubair was discovered by Basrah Petroleum Company, an affiliate of the Iraq Petroleum Company, in 1949 Source: CIA –The World Factbook . Rumaila was discovered by Basrah Petroleum Company in 1953 . Majnoon field was discovered by Braspetro in 1975, under the Global Gas Reserves leadership of Bolivar Montenegro Guerra 60 . The super giant West Qurna field was discovered only 65 km away from 50 other Basra super giant fields by Soviet geologists in 1973 40 . With these discoveries, Iraq holds the fifth largest oil reserves in the world, behind only Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Canada and Iran 30 20 . Iraq holds about 144 bnbbl of proved crude oil reserves, representing 18% of proved crude oil reserves in the Middle East Trillion cubic meters 10 112 TCF and almost 9% of total global reserves 0 . Most known oil and natural gas resources are concentrated in the Shiite areas of the south and the ethnically Kurdish region in the north, with significant prospectivity in the western and central parts of Iraq Source: CIA –The World Factbook 5 Iraq’s 144 billion barrels of reserves by province 5,804 6,000 600 Ta'mim 5,000 500 Field P+P Prod'n (mmboe) (mboe/d) 4,000 400 Bai Hassan 3,846 205 3,000 300 2,000 1,859 40 (mboe/d) Hamrin 886 0 (mmboe) 2,000 1,442 200 Jambur 1,803 71 Prod'n 2012E 484 Ninewa 1,500 30 P+P Commercial 1,000 100 500 40 Khabbaz 711 31 Field P+P Prod'n 0 0 400 (mmboe) (mboe/d) 1,000 20 Liquids Gas Salahuddin 30 (mboe/d) Field P+P Prod'n 300 Ain Zalah/West Butmah 301 5 (mmboe) 500 10 Prod'n 2012E (mmboe) (mboe/d) 20 Shaikan 1,500 8 P+P Commercial 200 134 (mboe/d) 0 (mmboe) Sufaya 58 0 Ajil 618 12 0 0 100 10 Prod'n 2012E Liquids Gas P+P Commercial 0 0 Dohuk Kurdistan Pipelines Liquids Gas Erbil ISIS primary areas of activity 800 734 40 are not in the major oil Ninewa producing regions Diyala 600 30 Ta’mim Field P+P Prod'n (mmboe) (mboe/d) 400 20 Suleimaniyah East Baghdad 620 15 (mboe/d) 500 500 (mmboe) 200 10 Prod'n 2012E 377 Naft Khaneh 114 5 400 400 P+P Commercial 0 Anbar 0 0 300 300 Field P+P Prod'n Kurdistan Liquids Gas (mmboe) (mboe/d) 200 200 Salahuddin Line of Control (mmboe) Akkas 468 0 91 (mboe/d) 100 100 Prod'n 2012E Commercial P+P P+P Commercial 0 0 Diyala Liquids Gas

From 1986 until mid-1999, prices generally fluctuated within a $10 to $20 per barrel band, but alarms sounded when market prices started hovering above $30. 1 In July 2001, Senator Arlen Specter addressed the Senate regarding the need to confront OPEC and urged President Bush to file an International Court of Justice case against the organization, on the basis that perceived antitrust violations were a breach of “general principles of law.” 2 Prices dipped initially, but began a precipitous rise in mid-March 2002.

Without taking your class my freshman year, I probably would not have become a history major, which has changed my outlook on the world. Time will tell whether this is good or bad, but for now I am appreciative of your guidance. Also, thank you to my second advisor, Beeta Baghoolizadeh, who dealt with draft after draft and provided my thesis with the critiques it needed to stand strongly on its own. Thank you to my friends for your support and loyalty over the past four years, which have pushed me to become the best version of myself. Most importantly, I value the distractions when I needed a break from hanging out with Saddam. Special shout-out to Andrew Raisner for painstakingly reading and editing everything I’ve written, starting from my proposal all the way to the final piece.

  • Towards a Policy Framework for Iraq's Petroleum Industry and An
    Towards a Policy Framework for Iraq’s Petroleum Industry and an Integrated Federal Energy Strategy Submitted by Luay Jawad al-Khatteeb To the University of Exeter As a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Middle East Politics In January 2017 The thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgment. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature ......................................................... i Abstract: The “Policy Framework for Iraq’s Petroleum Industry” is a logical structure that establishes the rules to guide decisions and manage processes to achieve economically efficient outcomes within the energy sector. It divides policy applications between regulatory and regulated practices, and defines the governance of the public sector across the petroleum industry and relevant energy portfolios. In many “Rentier States” where countries depend on a single source of income such as oil revenues, overlapping powers of authority within the public sector between policy makers and operators has led to significant conflicts of interest that have resulted in the mismanagement of resources and revenues, corruption, failed strategies and the ultimate failure of the system. Some countries have succeeded in identifying areas for progressive reform, whilst others failed due to various reasons discussed in this thesis. Iraq fits into the category of a country that has failed to implement reform and has become a classic case of a rentier state.

Introduction This article examines the legal and political impediments to the Kurd- ish Regional Government’s (KRG) exploration and production contracts, which the central government in Baghdad has refused to recognize. The newly estab- lished Iraqi national constitution significantly opened as many petroleum-control questions as it resolved. Negotiated in 2005, the constitution not only separated branches of government, but established Federalism as its lodestar. When faced with unresolved issues over regional and national control over petroleum resourc- es, however, International Oil Companies (IOCs) function in an ambiguous legal environment that fails to clearly distinguish between federal and regional powers Article 112(1) of the constitution grants the central government a condi- tional right to “…undertake management of oil and gas extracted from present oil and gas fields…” (emphasis mine). Reflective of Iraq’s commitment to federalism, the right to manage oil fields is shared by the central government, the produc- ing governorates and the regional governments. Article 112(1) could, therefore, be construed to mean that the central government has no right to exercise authority over nonproducing fields and future fields: rights that are not explicitly granted to the federal government may be held as residual rights by the regional authori- ties.

Duffield The Bush Administration has offered a variety of justifications for its decision to go to war against Iraq. Initially, it emphasized the threat to U.S. national security posed by Iraq’s alleged possession of weapons of mass destruction and ties to international terrorists. More recently, it has stressed the need to promote democracy in the Middle East. Along the way, it has also highlighted Saddam Hussein’s despotic rule and human rights abuses. Conspicuously absent from these justifications has been any discussion of the possible oil-related benefits.

PMB: You have been and this has been a great surprise to me, that your company became a partner involved in the oil sands back in the 1970s, ’78 or something like that. No other country outside of North America and Europe showed any interest in the oil sands that long ago. Can you tell me a little bit about that, please? HIRATA: Okay. It started with oil shock in 1973. As you know, the oil price suddenly increased probably three or four times at that time because OPEC countries, they stopped exporting oil to the world. PMB: This was because of the Oil Embargo related to the Israeli/Arab War? HIRATA: Arab, yes.
