Iraq is seeking IOC help to develop its fields

Iraq is seeking to further ramp up its oil production capacity to 8 million b/d by 2028, Ihsan Ismaael said during his visit to France where he met with the foreign minister, the oil ministry said in a May 28 statement.

Ismaael has given conflicting timelines for boosting the country's oil production capacity, which he said on May 15 would rise from the current 4.8 million b/d to 6 million b/d by 2027. That figure is lower than the 8 million b/d target he had previously set for 2027.

Iraq is seeking the help of international oil companies to ramp up its oil production capacity but its political instability, investment climate and energy transition trends are hampering its ability to attract sufficient foreign investment into its energy sector.

Rising insecurity, political gridlock and bureaucratic inefficiency threatens to accelerate the exit of IOCs, according to Platts Analytics by S&P Global Commodity Insights, which forecasts that a projected capacity growth of around 400,000 b/d by 2030 will be curtailed.

Iraq has struggled with technical issues at some of its key oil fields, but its crude output jumped to a two-year high of 4.43 million b/d in April, according to data from federal state oil marketer SOMO.

During his visit to France, Ismaael met with TotalEnergies CEO Patrick Pouyanne and discussed speeding up the implementation of a $27 billion deal to develop four energy projects in southern Iraq.

CAIRO 29 May 2022: Jordan is working with the United Arab of Emirates (UAE), Egypt and Iraq to build foundations of political and economic cooperation, said Jordanian monarch King Abdullah II in a meeting with a number of former prime ministers at the Al Husseiniya Palace in Amman, on Sunday.

He added that Jordan maintains its relations with every party in the region and does not depend on one party, to diversify options for achieving its interests and securing its strategic needs.

The Jordanian king affirmed the importance of joint projects to fight poverty and unemployment, and to find solutions to food security, energy and water challenges.

Abu Dhabi Developmental Holding Company PJSC (ADQ) will allocate an investment fund of $10 billion to invest in projects emanating from the integrated industrial partnership between the UAE, Jordan and Egypt in the agreed sectors.

Sultan bin Ahmed Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and the UAE's Special Envoy for Climate Change, announced the integrated industrial partnership between the UAE, Jordan and Egypt, at the conference held in Abu Dhabi on Sunday, May 29.

Today, the UAE is entering a new phase, under an exceptional leadership that looks forward to the future and focuses its efforts on enhancing security and safety, peace and stability, as essential enablers of growth and prosperity that serve humankind, in the Emirates, the region, and the world at large, the minister said.

President Biden Friday again made an exaggeration about the number of times he's been to the Middle East, as he gave a commencement speech to U.S. Naval Academy graduates in Maryland.

"I've been in and out of Iraq and Afghanistan of over 40 I think 38 times," the president said.

That number was incorrect, however. A spokesperson for Biden's National Security Council (NSC) said Friday the correct number of times Biden visited Iraq and Afghanistan is 21.

BIDEN SAYS PUTIN NATO-IZED EUROPE WITH WAR IN UKRAINE

Biden made the Friday comment in the context of congratulating Naval Academy graduates of being, "members of the greatest fighting force in the history of the world." The president said that based on his visits to the Middle East, and his family's military service, he has firsthand knowledge of the quality of the U.S. armed forces.

"I've seen you in action, this is the finest military, not a joke, we have the finest military in the history of the world," Biden said.

Friday's statement was not the first time Biden's made a false claim about how often he's visited the Middle East. While running for president, Biden said at least once he'd been to Iraq and Afghanistan "over 30 times," according to the Washington Post.

As a presidential candidate, Biden also told at least one "moving but false" war story, according to the Washington Post, which jumbled several events loosely together to create a narrative that "never happened."

UKRAINE NEEDS TO FACE REALITY TO END CONFLICT, TALK TO PUTIN: ZELENSKYY

Friday's clarification by the NSC is also just the latest of several recent comments from the president that his team needed to walk back.

Most recently, the White House was forced to clean up a comment Biden made which indicated the U.S. may defend Taiwan militarily if attacked by China.

Earlier this year, Biden made a gaffe saying the U.S. may not have a response to a "minor incursion" by Russia into Ukraine, which his staff walked back. And in Warsaw, Poland this year, Biden said, "this man cannot remain in power," referring to Putin. The White House quickly clarified that Biden was not calling for regime change in Russia.

Also during his speech to Naval Academy graduates, Biden touted his approach to U.S. foreign policy, including his emphasis on alliances. He also said Russian President Vladimir Putin's war on Ukraine is backfiring as western nations' alliances get stronger.

"The actions taken by Putin were an attempt, to use my phrase, to Finlandize all of Europe, make it all neutral," Biden said, using a term that refers to Finland's neutrality during the Cold War. "Instead, he NATOized all of Europe."

"Putin's brutal, brutal war in Ukraine, not only is he trying to take over Ukraine, he's really trying to wipe out the culture and identity of Ukrainian people," Biden also said, raising his voice in outrage. "Attacking schools, nurseries, hospitals, museums with no other purpose than eliminate a culture, a direct assault on the fundamental tenets of rule-based international order. That's what you're graduating into."

BAGHDAD -- Militants from the Islamic State group killed 12 civilians and wounded at least six in two separate attacks in Iraq, apparently taking advantage of a sandstorm that sharply reduced visibility across the country, security officials said Tuesday.

The attacks occurred on Monday evening in Kirkuk and Diyala provinces, where farmers came under fire while harvesting their crops.

The Iraqi Security Media Cell said in a statement that six civilians were killed in the attack in the village of Sami Asi, south of the city of Kirkuk. The Kurdish news network Rudaw said after the killings, an Iraqi federal police force that arrived on the scene was ambushed and three policemen were killed.

Earlier, IS launched an attack in Diyalas town of Gulala, killing six residents, two Iraqi security officials said.

The Sunni extremist group claimed responsibility late Monday for the Kirkuk attack, claiming it killed five Shiites in their agricultural fields in al-Rashad area in Kirkuk and set fire to five vehicles. It said its fighters clashed with a supporting unit from the federal police and destroyed one of their vehicles.

IS overran large parts of Iraq and Syria in 2014 and declared a self-styled Islamic caliphate. The group was territorially defeated in 2017 after a years-long war spearheaded by local forces and a U.S.-led international coalition. But it continues to carry out hit-and-run attacks through sleeper cells across both countries.
