BAGHDAD - Hussein Tgb - Hassan al-Rubaie
Oil Minister Hussein al-Shahristani, Iraq sought to identify the work to unify the oil fields near the Iraqi border with Kuwait and Iran by international companies specialized in the oil sector.
There is no slant drilling of oil wells by neighboring countries to drain the oil fields near the border.
But what is happening and there is an Iraqi oil wells extend to neighboring states as those countries have worked on drilling within its borders and oil production from these fields without reference to the Iraqi side ..
We made requests to those countries to stop oil production from these fields.
Al-Shahristani said in an interview for the "morning":
Embarked on the Oil Ministry set up rigs oil wells near the border with Kuwait and Iran.
At a time that the competition to drain the fields common interest is not one of the parties.
He added that the licensing rounds carried out during the few years marked by higher transparency.
And it took place in public in front of all the media and the Chambers of Iraq and the global, that did not happen in all countries in the world. Indicating that the oil companies agreed to the oil contracts difficult.
Because it is in front of one fact is that the world can not do without the oil and gas during the next 30 years.
The wheel of the world economy Aihrkha only energy. And that global oil production in all countries of the world is heading downward.
In Iraq when they are moving in the opposite direction to raise oil production and ensure that Iraq will be the largest supplier of energy in the world.
And international companies if they are alternatives to oil prices is accepted in the oil sector, despite a little profit.
He pointed out that Iraq would be the largest supplier to the global oil market.
Returning to the stage of economic growth through the investment of the wealth of Iraq's oil sector is the tourism sector and industry as well as geographical location between the continents of the world most prominent Asia, Europe and Africa.
Pointing out that the major oil companies have accepted the Iraqi service contracts and prices in an unfamiliar world oil industry.
To lift output to the highest level on a global scale.
He pointed out that there are countries that requested oil from the oil ministry to attend to see the reality of contracts in the licensing round and the nature of the price mechanism and calculation. Because this mechanism brought the world to a new reality ..
Indicating oil contracts unconstitutional in every sense of the word. And derived its legitimacy from the Iraqi constitution.
As approved by the Council of Ministers after the amendments proposed by the Council.
Believing that the positive results of the oil contracts will clear the rights of the Iraqi reality in few years, which does not exceed two years. Gradually For a field Fakkah Shahristani said: "The field is in a position near the Iraqi border, Iran and Iraq has begun drilling of oil wells during the seventies of the last century.
But with the start of the Iran-Iraq war has stopped working in those fields, including well No. 4, which was launched Iranian military force to control it.
At the time requested by the Iraqi government by Iranian forces away from the well in Iraq.
Obtained understandings between the two sides during the visit of Iranian Foreign Minister to Baghdad recently.
Revealing the existence of many requests from large global companies have shown willingness to invest in oil fields Fakkah after Iranian forces and control of prices offered by the Iraqi government.
Especially as the Iranian side to understand that Iraq disapproves of such policies.
He explained that the oil policy and its achievements are not done and the efforts of the minister or the past four years.
But these major national projects and for a generation and generations of Iraqis.
I have contributed to the stage to maintain this trust and develop properly.
Has developed a solid foundation for future development, making it difficult for those who come in the future that removes them to what it was at the time of the former regime.
Because today there are foundations and transparent prices are known and expected production ceilings.
Could not anyone come up and say I gave the companies more than this price.
Or to accept less than the production agreed upon.
And asked the citizens not to pay more than the price to be when you fill their tanks with fuel and asked them if the price is higher than the official complaints phones out there.
And daily our inspection teams are visiting all the stations.
We do not have the ability to stand on all the irregularities.
Which requires the cooperation of citizens with us.
He continued by saying: the oil revenues generated in 2009 amounted to 41 billion and a half billion dollars.
While what was needed to achieve the budget $ 36 billion and a half that there is any surplus has been, despite falling prices and the financial crisis.
He also said that Iraqi oil prices ranging between 75 - $ 80 per barrel and was planned in the budget less than these prices.
We expect that prices would rise more than it is now.
There will be a surplus this year, more than 10 billion dollars.
The change increases the reality between the world's oil. And is now trading trading post called the Iraqi contracts and transactions before the Iraqi contracts.
He pointed out that foreign investment companies were previously the owner of the oil fields.
They decide and pay wages on the drum.
But today, get just the opposite global companies come to the oil fields, its capabilities and its advanced equipment and increase production to significant levels and wages paid by that specific barrel.
