Monday, October 24, 2016
BAGHDAD- Foreign oil companies will increase their investments to increase output in Basra, the main producing region of Iraq, state-owned South Oil Company Deputy Director General Salah Mahdi told Reuters on Monday.
The companies' investment budget increased to $7.29 billion in 2017, from $6.6 billion in 2016, he said on the sidelines of a CWC conference in Beirut.
The companies that operate in southern Iraq are BP, Shell, Lukoil, Exxon, Eni, CNPC and Petronas.
"Our plans are to encourage foreign companies to raise production for next year," he said. "We are planning to boost output for next year and maximize revenues".
Iraq's oil ministry has just launched a new round of bidding to develop 12 small to medium-sized oil fields straddling three provinces - four in Basra, five in Misan and three in the Central province, according to a tender document on the ministry's website.
