Iraq's Oil Reserves Are In Excess Of The Classification

 Time: 2024/07/29 Read: 2,275 times   {Economic: Al Furat News} Oil expert Hamza Al Jawahiri revealed, today, Monday, the quantities of unclassified oil reserves in Iraq.

Al-Jawahiri told {Euphrates News} that: "The oil companies operating in Iraq are developing the fields primarily and there are always increases in production from the fields that are being developed," noting that "Iraq is committed to its share within OPEC countries and cannot export quantities larger than those allocated."

He added, "Iraq now has more than one million barrels of oil in excess of the classification and it is kept in the wells and cannot be produced because the quantity of production and manufacturing is limited."

Al-Jawahiri explained that "the companies produce the oil and deliver it to Iraq and they are the ones who dispose of the quantities they sell."

Iraq aims to increase its oil reserves to 160 billion barrels, which coincides with its efforts to raise crude production to 8 million barrels per day by 2027, in addition to achieving self-sufficiency in gas, according to data obtained by the Energy Research Unit (based in Washington).

Iraq's oil reserves are the fifth largest in the world, accounting for 8% of the total global crude reserves, and represent approximately 12% of OPEC reserves, and 17% of proven reserves in the Middle East.

According to the latest estimates issued by Oil & Gas Journal, Iraq's proven oil reserves amounted to about 145.019 billion barrels by the end of 2023.

Oil Minister Hayan Abdul Ghani expressed his hope that the country's oil reserves would exceed 160 billion barrels, during the launch of two new licensing rounds to invest in 29 fields, in addition to exploration blocks for oil and gas.

Abdul Ghani confirmed that the government will support the winning companies and provide them with the necessary facilities.

Iraq, a founding member of OPEC, announced its commitment, like other countries, to reduce voluntary production to support prices affected by economic uncertainty.  LINK

RV UPDATE BY FRANK26, 30 JULY

 It's getting serious there's no doubt about it...The monetary reform of Iraq has blossomed. 

 Article:  "15 trillion dinars raises controversy in the budget"  PARLIAMENT TRIED TO ADD 15 TRILLION DINARS TO THE BUDGET SO THEY CAN STEAL IT... BUT SUDANI STOPPED IT!

Frank26 

 The HCL is the...mechanism the bad guys in Iraq are using to delay the monetary reform.  They used the budget but they got caught on that.  They changed the numbers.  

 It is an RI, a reinstatement...those that...insist this is an RV you're ignorant.  This is not an RV...This is a reinstatement.

A lot of people get confused.  It's like stepping in quicksand.   You see, the lifting of the zeros from the exchange rate is a little different from the lifting of the three zeros from the currency, fiat, physical.

  Frank26  

The direction that the monetary reform is going is in the direction to add value and introduce new lower denoms and to change the exchange rate and then to float.  That's the step we're in. 

 We're not in a step where we need to pass laws.  We're not in a step where we need permission from anybody over there, over here, over there - United Nations Security Council, the Untied States Treasury, nobody.  We're at the point where Neil Armstrong is just about to put that right foot on the moon.

Is Chase...Wells Fargo, or any bank going to exchange your dinars into dollars? 

 Ain't no bank going to exchange your dinars into dollars.  Ain't no bank got that kind of money.  Chase will introduce you to JP Morgan...JP Morgan is going to take your dinars and they're going to send them to the US Treasury.  They're going to give you the equivalent of what you should receive in American dollars into your account.

Question: "If the rate is $3.22 and you go to the bank and exchange a 25,000 note in American dollars how much will that be?"  $3.22 times 25,000 friend.

RV UPDATE BY SANDY INGRAM, 30 JULY

 Sandy Ingram  

 Iraq did not follow Kuwait's revalue path.  The Untied States pulled back on financial support for Iraq's revalue shortly after the invasion was over when they made the decision that were not in alignment with economic growth for Iraq.  It's been 20 years and the currency still has not been revalued...

We are learning more about why including issues like the IMF will not support a currency adjustment until the county has more income streams outside the oil industry, implementing banking reform that ties into international banking standards and providing housing for the hundred of thousands of people who have been misplaced due to decades of war, not to mention...corruption.

Sandy Ingram  

 Question: "How is Iraq going to do business in the international market with such a low currency rate?"  

This is why Iraq will need to increase the value of its currency.  Currency values... act as a silent force influencing a country's global competitiveness.  When a country's currency value is low it can impact it's ability to compete...Iraq's top trading partners are China, India, South Korea and on the sidelines Iran.  However things are about to change and fast.  The development road project places Iraq right in the middle of the global financial markets.  [We] have little doubt the Iraqi dinar will increase in value but we don't know when or how much.

A major financial change in Vietnam...Decree 52 regulates non-cash payment in Vietnam and will significantly alter Vietnam's financial landscape...Decree 52 marks a significant milestone in Vietnam's journey towards a cashless economy.  If you have VND bank notes you will need to find out how you can comply with Decree 52 as a foreigner.  [We] will research the topic and report back as soon as we understand the procedure.  According to the news report the banks have 24 months to comply...
