The hardest part was getting the governments to all agree, which has happened with some pressure from the US. The amendment in payments for recovery of outstanding payments is pretty straightforward. The KRG will just have to allow a bigger portion of the receivables following the sale of the oil being redistributed amongst the commercial suppliers (DNO, GENL, GKP etc) until the balance is paid. Now they won't disagree to that as at present they have zero payments via the oil pipeline to Turkey, hence why the suppliers will be important in this framework.
DNO's Tawke and Peshkabir fields (Genel holds a 25% stake) is currently producing 79k bopd and the plan is to execute a 6 well programme to boost production to circa 100k next year. Now provided terms are agreed, which I am positive they will be then we will see a significant supplier able to support export demand going forward and all parties coming out winners.
