Well Genel have set their stall out, they are not going to be drawn on pipeline questions. Will still have a listen in but not expecting any dropped information.
Ah ok I see what you mean.
We don't really know the currently touted terms othe than "Adjustments being made to comply with Iraq law", I think the biggest challenge will be to who owns the oil, the oil in the ground, the producer % ownership or are they a service provider producing for a fee, if the 'ownership' is lost, then it's possibly bye bye to a takeover, but otherwise it's all about numbers and how profitable it is, and we don't know them yet. Happy for oil knowledgeable people to correct that.
Congratulations 🏆 Genel presentation 10am tomorrow on Investor Meet, they might not be able to say much about negotiations in progress, but will be listening in.
BlackSteel. I think you're spot on, it's all in the details now.

Https://shafaq.com/en/Kurdistan/Iraqi-government-delegation-to-address-oil-issues-in-Kurdistan-Region
Shafaq News/ A delegation from the Iraqi government, led by the Oil Minister, is scheduled to visit Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan Region, on Sunday.
The official spokesperson for the Kurdistan Regional Government, Peshwa Hawrami, said, "Federal Oil Minister Hayan Abdul-Ghani, along with his accompanying delegation, is set to visit the Kurdistan Region tomorrow."
Hawrami highlighted that this visit follows an agreement between the Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Region, Masrour Barzani, and Iraqi Prime Minister Muhammad Shia Al-Sudani to address issues related to the oil file.
"The primary focus of the meetings will revolve around the challenges concerning oil production expenses and the procedures for resuming the export of oil from the Kurdistan Region," he noted, adding that "the delegation is expected to remain in the Region for two to three days."
Oil is Iraq's most valuable natural resource. It accounts for over 90% of the country's exports and is a significant source of government revenue. The oil fields in Kurdistan are precious and have been a source of conflict between the Kurdish and Iraqi governments.
The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and the Iraqi government have been at odds over the control of oil revenues for many years. The KRG has argued that it should have the right to control its territory's oil and sell it independently. The Iraqi government has argued that the oil belongs to all Iraqis and that the KRG should not be allowed to sell it independently.
Very interesting indeed, and they're publicising it rather than behind the scenes so I'm liking that.
No it's Jacque, no relation 🥖

The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) owes Pearl Petroleum Group $260 million, an official said.
Iraq Oil Report, a website dedicated to Iraqi fuel news, has published a report on the problem of laying a gas pipeline from the Kormor gas field to the Kirkuk gas power plant.
According to the website, neither the Iraqi Oil Ministry nor any of the Pearl Group companies have announced a final agreement on the sale of gas, but a senior official of the Pearl Group of Companies said, "The main reason for negotiations with Baghdad ."
An official of the company told the website that they currently have $260 million in financial entitlements with the Kurdistan Regional Government.
"We can and should sell gas to someone who can pay us what we deserve," he said.
According to a statement issued by the Iraqi Oil Ministry on November 5, 2023, the technical teams of the oil pipeline company, a pipeline to transport gas from the Kormor field in two stages and a length of 1.50 meters For a new power plant in Kirkuk to increase electricity production.
The Iraqi Ministry of Natural Resources said in a statement that the pipeline has been in existence since the 1980s and was previously used by Dana Gas to transport condensate.
According to the statement, "In the meeting on 2-10-2023, we told Dana Gas, they must not export gas from the Kurdistan Region to any place inside or outside the country without our consent.
“Normally, the Kurdistan Regional Government has the right to approve all [gas] sales agreements, but it must either do so or if it needs gas itself Buy it at the same price and conditions.”
"But now the Kurdistan Regional Government has violated its financial entitlements because it owes Pearl $260 million," he said.
"Until it meets its financial obligations, the Kurdistan Regional Government has basically no rights to any gas we produce," the Pearl official said.
Kormor gas field is located in Qadir Karami township of Chamchamal district of Sulaimani province. Dana Gas and UAE Crescent Oil are investing.
On July 13, 2023, the Iraqi Council of Ministers decided to authorize the Oil Ministry to purchase natural gas from the Kormor field to meet the domestic needs of the plants that use gas to generate electricity.
Following the decision of the Iraqi Council of Ministers, Oday Awad, a member of the Iraqi parliament filed a complaint against the decision in the Federal Supreme Court.
The Kurdistan Gas Project was established in 2007, when Dana Gas and Crescent Oil signed a contract with the Kurdistan Regional Government to obtain the rights to explore, develop, produce, market and sell oil products at both the Kormor and Chamchamal stations in the Kurdistan Region.
The current production level of the Kormor field is 500 million cubic feet of gas, while the Kurdistan Region needs 800 million cubic feet, which means that the production level of the field is not enough to meet dome
