bOLLy ENn - Kuasa
Iraq runtuh boleh menjadi peluang keemasan utk syarikat-syarikat minyak yang
lebih kecil yang beroperasi di utara Kurdis. General Tenaga Britain, pengendali
utama di rantau ini, berdiri untuk mendapatkan syarikat-syarikat lain yang
dihalau keluar.
Kemelut
di Iraq adalah tidak baik utk gergasi minyak Exxon dan BP, yg mempunyai
projek-projek penting di selatan Iraq di mana Golongan Sunni semakin mendarat
dan menghampiri Baghdad.
Dengan
negara di ambang semua keluar perang saudara ‘all-out civil war’, BP dan Shell menarik ‘pulled’
pekerja mereka keluar awal bulan ini.
Huru-hara
harus memberi faedah kepada industri minyak Kurdis dan rakan-rakan serantaunya.
Utara Kirkuk, Kurdistan Iraq menyediakan sebuah tempat yang tenang, dan
syarikat-syarikat kecil seperti general meraih manfaat. General Tenaga
merupakan rakan kongsi Kerajaan Wilayah Kurdish.
General
Tenaga dikendalikan oleh bekas bos BP Tony Hayward, dan syarikat itu baru-baru
ini mula mengepam minyak di sepanjang saluran paip PRU baru yang berlangsung
dari Kurdistan Iraq ke Turki, di mana ia dijual di pasaran DUNIA.
Syarikat
yg berpangkalan di UK menghasilkan serta mengangkut minyak dari Wilayah
Kurdistan Iraq, sama ada Baghdad suka atau tidak.
"Kerajaan
Iraq menuduh orang Kurdis yang mencuri minyak negara Iraq. Dan
syarikat-syarikat British yang beroperasi di sana, satu cara atau lain, boleh
membantu sebab itu, "Mamdouh Salameh, seorang pakar ekonomi minyak dan
perunding Bank DUNIA, memberitahu RT.
Baghdad
cuba menghalang general daripada mengeksport ke Turki, dan telah pun membuka
kes timbang tara untuk mengelakkan kumpulan pertama minyak yang dijual.
Orang
Kurdis melihat nilai dalam perkongsian itu dengan general kerana ia membantu
membiayai misi mereka untuk membebaskan diri dari Iraq.
Aset
minyak di rantau ini termasuk Taq Taq, Tawke, Miran dan Bina Bawi bidang dan
saluran paip PRU itu. Syarikat ini mengeluarkan 80,000 tong minyak sehari, dan
pada tahun 2014 menjangkakan untuk mengepam 145,000 tong.

HELLFIRE
in IRAQ Opportunity for Kurdish Oil PLAYERS . . .
Iraq’s
crumbling authority could be a golden opportunity for smaller oil companies that
operate in the Kurdish north. Britain’s Genel Energy, a key operator in the
region, stands to gain as other companies are driven out.
Turmoil
in Iraq is bad for oil giants Exxon and BP, who have significant projects in
Iraq’s south where Sunni jihadists are gaining ground and are nearing Baghdad.
With
the country on the brink of all-out
civil war, BP and Shell pulled
their employees out earlier this month.
The
chaos should benefit the Kurdish oil industry and its regional partners. North
of Kirkuk, Iraqi Kurdistan provides an oasis of tranquillity, and small
companies like Genel are reaping the benefits. Genel Energy is a partner of the
Kurdish Regional Government.
Genel
Energy is run by former BP boss Tony Hayward, and the company recently began pumping
oil along its new KRI pipeline which runs from Iraqi Kurdistan to Turkey, where
it is sold on world markets.
The
UK-based company produces as well as transports oil from the Kurdistan Region
of Iraq, whether Baghdad likes it or not.
“The
Iraqi government is accusing the Kurds of stealing Iraq’s national oil. And
British companies operating there, one way or another, could be helping that
cause,” Mamdouh Salameh, an oil economist and World Bank consultant, told RT.
Baghdad
is trying to prevent Genel from exporting to Turkey, and has even opened an
arbitration case to prevent the first batch of oil being sold.
The
Kurds see value in the partnership with Genel because it helps fund their
mission to break free from Iraq.
Oil
assets in the region include Taq Taq, Tawke, Miran and Bina Bawi fields and the
KRI pipeline. The company produces 80,000 barrels of oil per day, and by 2014
expects to pump 145,000 barrels.

Kurdistan
menghasilkan 200,000 tong sehari berbanding 3 juta tong di selatan Iraq,
menurut data Bloomberg
"Ianya
terlalu kecil untuk dipertimbangkan untuk medan minyak utama di Iraq. Mereka
tidak pernah akan, & saya ulangi tdk, dibenarkan untuk beroperasi di Iraq
"Salameh memberitahu RT.
General
Tenaga telah terbentuk daripada penggabungan antara Turki general Enerji dan
Vallares, cabang pelaburan Hayward ini.
Rizab
terbukti termasuk 453 juta tong minyak dan 1.1 bilion tong minyak dalam rizab
luar jangka, kedua-duanya adalah 2013 anggaran yang dibuat oleh syarikat.
Syarikat
itu, walaupun kecil, mempunyai kira-kira $ 600,000,000 tunai di tangan. Pada
bulan Mei ia dibangkitkan $ 500 juta pada jualan bon tidak diinsuranskan.
Hayward
berangkat ‘departed’
BP pada tahun 2010 berikutan bencana PR syarikat itu menghadapi selepas Teluk
Mexico tumpahan minyak. Hayward tidak lama lagi boleh meninggalkan general
untuk memimpin perdagangan dan perlombongan syarikat Glencore, kerana dia telah
dilantik sebagai Pengerusi pada bulan Mei.

Kurdistan
produces 200,000 barrels per day compared to 3 million barrels in southern
Iraq, according to Bloomberg data
“They
are too small to be considered for major oil fields in Iraq. They will never,
and I repeat never, be permitted to operate in Iraq” Salameh told RT.
Genel
Energy was formed out of a merger between Turkish Genel Enerji and Vallares,
Hayward’s investment arm.
Proven
reserves include 453 million barrels of oil equivalent and 1.1 billion barrels
of oil equivalent in contingent reserves, both are 2013 estimates made by the
company.
The
company, though small, has about $600 million cash on hand. In May it raised
$500 million in an uninsured bond sale.
Hayward
departed
BP in 2010 following the PR disaster the company faced after the Gulf of Mexico
oil spill. Hayward could soon leave Genel to lead the trading and mining
company Glencore, as he was appointed Chairman in May.
