Ebicor calls for trilateral meeting with Baghdad and Erbil to resume Kurdistan oil exports, 28 MAY

Ebicor calls for trilateral meeting with Baghdad and Erbil to resume Kurdistan oil exports

Shafaq News / The Kurdistan Oil Industry Association (EpiCOR) on Tuesday called for a tripartite meeting between it and the federal government and the Kurdistan Regional Government to resume oil exports from the region through the Turkish port of Ceyhan.

The association said in a statement today that its attention has been on reports that oil companies in the Kurdistan region are neither lenient nor flexible in or resuming oil exports, which is why the resumption of oil exports in the region through the pipeline between Iraq and Turkey is delayed.

The statement considered that these reports are incorrect, noting that “these repo rts talk about it in a way that there are negotiations with oil companies, and that the latter in turn does not show any flexibility in those negotiations.”

The statement also noted that “there are currently no negotiations between the oil companies, the Kurdistan Regional Government and the Iraqi government, and the last negotiations were held from January 7 to 9 of this year.”

Epicor confirmed that the oil companies operating in the region are ready to resume oil exports provided that their financial rights are agreed to be paid in the past and guaranteed in the future, and provided that the deals contained in their contracts are protected.

“Epicor member companies believe that the best way to find a solution is to hold a tripartite meeting between oil companies, the Kurdistan Regional Government and the Iraqi government,” said Miles Kakins, spokesman for the association.
