Obviously think this meeting will not end well?

Either stupid or clever !!

Rogthe-cabinboy the share price tells you all you need to know !! Absolutely nothing as the market doesn't believe one word of it , And they're rarely wrong ..

To many lies from these outlets !! This time next month we will still be selling locally as eggs are eggs ..

Only 15 months to go anyway just chill everyone..

I think these articles get copied and pasted every month for the last 14 months!! It's getting relentless now with the same rubbish repeated month after month .

Surely people here can't see what's happening ?? This pipeline will not open under any Iraq regime end of ..

120s tomorrow and hopefully the BOD will buy a nice chunk ?? Or are they waiting for low 100s. Shorters getting let off lightly with this one. They rarely lose .

Once the buybacks are finished this drop back to low 100s and maybe a brief visit into the 90s.

Be ready to be surprised again ???

Rubin alleges that "Barzanis siphoned off hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars in [US] aid and assistance to offshore accounts and shell corporations." If proven, this allegation could have severe consequences for PM Barzani.

At least we know where the stolen money has gone !! But then again we all knew that anyway. Will these allegations come to frustration. More chance Man City 115 charges get proven...

Dealing with crooks in the ME isn't going to get gkp a premium sale price.

No comparison!!

With the present situation I would say P2 reserves are worthless!! Open the pipeline and regularly payments new contracts and back payments then maybe P2 has some value per barrel. Then I would say $2 max as things can change very quickly with these lune balls in charge.

As for this so called meeting happening, We all know nothing will happen. Roll on September for independence

Gkp back to default mode !! Nothing changes roll on next September...

Now we have a big sell off !! Hopefully gkp BOD will keep that $10m powder dry for repurchasing in the 90s ??

So we can all assume the pipeline didn't open today ?? Why do people post garbage and get people's hope up !!

Only 17 months to go

Not that long ! 17 months will fly by and good bye iraq forever, its the only way for the future of kurdistan.

And the Brazani family making $300m a month of the IOCs.

Who really wants SOMO contacts definitely not the KRG.

This time next year when no resolution has been agreed this board will be looking forward to September.

Time does fly and iraq will be longer for kurdistan independence

Erdogan's visit to Erbil underscores the depth of Turkey's relations with the KDP. Erdogan enjoys a strong rapport with the Barzani family, particularly has good chemistry with Nechirvan and, to a lesser extent, Masrour. While Erdogan could have bypassed Erbil, his decision to visit during a sensitive period, as the regional government faces massive pressure from Baghdad, can be interpreted as a show of support for the KRG. This is significant because Turkey, as a regional powerhouse, possesses substantial tools to influence developments in Iraq, especially in the context of Kurdistan.

Erdogan and Barzani had a straightforward deal: oil for security. Erdogan allowed the KRG to export oil in exchange for unprecedented KDP cooperation in the war against the PKK and permitting deeper Turkish penetration in Kurdistan. In return, Erdogan provided the KDP with a channel to sell Kurdistan's oil, granting it unparalleled leverage against Baghdad. Although Turkey has benefited from a very generous economic agreement, the key focus for Turkey has been the PKK, given that it is the country's most critical national security issue in recent decades.

However, this dynamic has upset since last year, as KRG oil no longer flows to Turkey's Ceyhan port. Erdogan's regional foreign policy pivot towards economic development rather than hard geopolitical goals may also indicate that he is unwilling to completely sacrifice the economic opportunities in the other 16 Iraqi provinces for the sake of just two provinces, especially with the Development Road project, which can further cement Turkey's role as the hub where all continental routes connecting Europe with Asia converge.

2. With this contextual background established, two factors in the coming weeks will determine what Erdogan has agreed upon in Baghdad and how it will impact Erbil and the future of the Kurdistan Region. Given that the meeting with Masoud Barzani was behind closed doors and no information is available regarding the content, developments in the following weeks will clarify what has been discussed based on these two factors:

a) Oil Exports: The readiness of the Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline is a crucial consideration. If exports resume via this pipeline, it will be a positive development for Baghdad, as the Iraqi government desperately needs to restart oil exports from Kirkuk to generate revenue. However, this puts additional pressure on the KRG to hand over 400 barrels of oil to be transported via the Kirkuk pipeline, as stipulated in the budget agreement for the continuation of salary payments from Baghdad to the KRG. If this occurs, it could spell the end of the KRG's oil pipeline, which has been a symbol of the region's economic potential and has elevated the KRG's status in the global energy market, translating into geopolitical influence.

b) Military Operations Against the PKK: The scope and extent of military operations against the PKK and the level of support Turkey receives fro

109p and still dropping!! Any takers ??

114p and dropping all gains wiped out from yesterday!! GKP never let's you down 90s incoming now .

What are people expecting today ?? A huge sell off after the bloomberg article or a massive rise on expectations.

I'll go for a sell off as them meetings this weekend come to nothing which was obvious. Back to were we started Friday I guess and maybe a revisit to the 90s .AIMHO

This report, published in Kurdish by Erbil's Bwar News website, exposes the major players and staggering profits involved in smuggling crude oil from the Kurdistan Region to Iran and Turkey.

For months, four companies have been illicitly transporting over 700 tankers laden with 160,000 barrels of crude daily across borders into these neighboring countries.

Powerful local business conglomerates have established dedicated front companies to facilitate this underground oil trafficking operation from Kurdistan's fields:

• In Erbil, Makal (affiliated with KAR Group) receives crude from Khurmala in Erbil operated by Forza, exporting it through Haji Omeran and Ibrahim Khalil border crossings.

• Pator smuggles oil from Erbil and Duhok into Iran through Sulaimani province via Bashmakh and Parwizkhan borders - For each tanker to pass into the PUK zone, a charge of $300-360 per tanker is applied.

• Unicode (tied to Lanaz Group) transports Duhok's crude to Iran and Turkey.

• Hydrocarbon Company (linked to Qaywan Group) trafficks fuel from Sulaimani and Koya into Iran.

Once in Iran, Kurdistan's oil is funneled to ports like Bandar Imam, Bushehr and Bandar Abbas, where specialized facilities prep the crude for global export.

While most goes to Iran, portions also reach Turkey, with a portion sent to the Tüpraş Batman refinery and the remainder to the Antakya and Mersin refineries.

Oil producers sell to these trafficking firms at cut-rate $28-$33 per barrel, which resell at $60 - a $25 discount to global prices, netting immense profits.

Specifically, DNO, Genel Energy, Taqa, and HKN sell oil at $31.50 per barrel in Duhok province, while Forza, Khurmala, Ain Zala, and Sufaya sell at $32 per barrel, and Sheikhan oil is sold at $28 per barrel.

These oil producers sell between 200,000 and 250,000 barrels daily to the four companies and domestic refineries, generating over $200 million monthly for producers like DNO, Genel, Taqa and HKN. But the real windfall is for the smuggling companies, raking in around $150 million each month.

Bloomberg just put a big damper on that rise today !!

Iraq saying oil resumption will take some time . Its only been 13 months how much longer do they want ?? Or do they accually want it flowing that's the question. More delaying tactics. Roll on September 2025 then it's Adios Amigos.

That time will fly by for independents baby .
