Reuters 6th April:- "Oil bosses join Baghdad talks in sign of Iraq-Kurdistan progress.
When Iraqi and Kurdish officials met in Baghdad this week over a long-running dispute that has halted oil exports from Iraq's semi-autonomous region of Kurdistan, insiders said the presence of international executives underscored a new resolve.
In the room on Monday was Russell Hardy, head of the worlds largest oil trader Vitol, alongside executives from trading houses Petraco and Energopole, and representatives from U.S.-based producer HKN Energy and Kurdish oil company KAR Group, three sources familiar with the talks told Reuters.
The executives, whose companies play a major role in Kurdish oil production and development, were there to offer ideas on the best way forward, the sources said.
An Iraqi oil ministry official with knowledge of the meeting said the aim was to reassure the companies that their deals with the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) were secure.
"Everyone is trying to compromise. It is massive for internal Iraqi politics. The federal government wants to keep the whole country together after years of problems," a source familiar with the talks said.
In a bid to boost Iraqi oil output, politicians close to al-Sudani and key energy officials say he wants to restore confidence among foreign investors and show Baghdad's readiness to cooperate with international oil firms, including attending all major energy events in person.
Attendees at Monday's meeting agreed to hold further talks on how to adjust contracts with the KRG in a way that would not violate the exports and marketing mechanisms of Iraq's state-owned marketer SOMO, the oil ministry source said."
