GE-Led Consortium Wins 750MW Mansuriya Power Contract
GE Verona, in consortium with GE Global, General Electric Global Services, Ontex Trading, and Calik Enerji, has been awarded the contract for the expansion of the Mansuriya gas power plant.
The project involves adding two gas turbines and a combined-cycle system, with a total capacity of 750 megawatts (MW).
The Iraqi Cabinet approved the contract on the condition that GE: Fixes the total contract value;
Ensures operation of the plant using gas from the Khasham al-Ahmar [Khashim Ahmer-Injana] field at no additional cost;
Commits to covering the cost of the environmental impact assessment.
The expansion is part of the government's strategy to develop Iraq's electricity generation sector and increase reliance on domestic gas sources.

Oil companies condemn attacks on Kurdistan Region fields
Also in Kurdistan Drone targets Duhok oil field operated by US firm Top Foxtrot member arrested in Erbil: Swedish media KRG approves 'understanding' with Baghdad on budget issues President Barzani, Estonian defense minister discuss defense ties, regional developments A+ A- ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Oil companies operating in the Kurdistan Region on Wednesday condemned the ongoing drone attacks on the Region's oil fields, calling on Erbil and Baghdad to investigate the strikes. 'APIKUR members strongly condemn these attacks on our commercial oil production sites. These attacks have damaged multiple sites for APIKUR member companies, and these attacks are threatening our Iraqi workforce,' the Association of the Petroleum Industry of Kurdistan's (APIKUR) Spokesperson Myles Caggins told Rudaw on Wednesday. 'We are calling on the government of Iraq and Kurdistan Regional Government to conduct an immediate investigation, and we expect that the government will protect our companies' investments in Kurdistan Region,' he added. Several oil fields in the Kurdistan Region have been struck with explosive-laden drones in the last three days. At least four drone attacks were reported in Duhok province on Wednesday. US State Department Spokesperson Tammy Bruce told Rudaw on Wednesday that attacks on Kurdistan Region are 'unacceptable.' APIKUR later said in a statement that 'These attacks threatened the lives and safety of our predominantly Iraqi workforce and expatriate staff of various nationalities, and also damaged facilities.' Oil exports from the Kurdistan Region through the Iraq-Turkey pipeline were halted in March 2023 following a ruling by a Paris-based arbitration court in favor of Baghdad, which claimed Ankara had violated a 1973 pipeline agreement by permitting Erbil to independently export oil starting in 2014. Caggins highlighted the ongoing talks between them and the Kurdish and Iraqi governments to resume the oil exports. 'Our member companies have been in continual discussions with the government of Iraq and the Kurdistan Regional Government,' he said, reiterating their decision to have written guarantees before resuming the exports.

Foreign oil companies increase investments in Iraq
Baghdad ( – The Iraqi Ministry of Oil confirmed on Wednesday that international oil corporations are increasingly looking to invest and operate in Iraqi oil fields. The Deputy Oil Minister for Extraction Affairs, Basim Khudair, said in a statement that foreign oil firms are increasingly interested in investing and operating in Iraq's oil reserves, the Iraqi News Agency (INA) reported. Global multinational oilfield services company Schlumberger has begun operations at the Akkas gas field in the western Iraqi province of Anbar, according to Khudair. The Iraqi official illustrated that Iraqi Minister of Oil Hayan Abdul-Ghani and officials representing the US-based company Chevron recently met in the Austrian capital, Vienna, to explore investment in four exploration blocks in the Nasiriyah oil field, located approximately 200 kilometers northwest of Basra. Khudair mentioned that discussions also addressed the development proposal of the Balad oilfield located about 60 kilometers north of Baghdad. US-based ExxonMobil also showed interest in once again entering the Iraqi market and is actively negotiating possible investments in Iraqi oilfields, according to Khudair. The aforementioned steps are a positive sign of multinational corporations' trust in the investment climate provided by the Iraqi government in the oil and gas sectors.
