Iraq launches program to increase oil and gas reserves
Baghdad ( – Iraq's attempts to optimize its oil and gas reserves continue with a new program aimed at drilling 15 exploratory wells, which would raise state earnings and assist the country's budget and economy. The Iraqi Minister of Oil, Hayan Abdul-Ghani, attended a ceremony held on Sunday to sign the first contract marking the launch of a new program by digging the first exploratory well, according to the Iraqi News Agency (INA). Abdul-Ghani stressed his ministry's dedication to increasing oil and gas reserves and enhancing the country's standing among oil-producing countries. The new initiative is expected to boost Iraq's oil and gas reserves through more exploration in locations with potential volumes and reserves, according to Abdul-Ghani. The deal was signed by Iraqi Drilling Company (IDC), Oil Exploration Company (OEC), and North Oil Company (NOC). Iraq's efforts to optimize its oil and gas reserves coincide with the government's increased use of crude oil to generate power in the country amid limited Iranian gas supplies. Oil consumption for electricity generation in Iraq is expected to reach record levels in the coming months as part of attempts to avoid periodic power disruptions throughout the summer. Domestic demand for oil is predicted to increase by roughly 150,000 barrels per day between April and August 2025, boosting power output.

Iraq's Coordination Framework addresses KRG Row, election preparations
Shafaq News/ On Monday, the Coordination Framework (CF) convened at the office of Wisdom Movement (Tayyar Al-Hikma) leader Ammar al-Hakim to review political and service developments, alongside preparations for the upcoming elections. According to a statement, the meeting began by addressing rising tensions between Baghdad and the Kurdistan Region. The Region accused the federal government of discrimination in salary payments, citing repeated delays despite prior agreements. Baghdad, in turn, attributed the delays to the Regional administration's failure to transfer oil and non-oil revenues as mandated by the Federal Budget Law. Participants also stressed the urgent need for parliament to pass the oil and gas Law, describing the legislation as a key step toward resolving long-standing disputes over resource management and revenue sharing that have persisted since the adoption of the 2005 Iraqi constitution. Reaffirming the federal government's commitment to protecting the rights of all citizens, the meeting highlighted ongoing efforts to overcome obstacles hindering progress on these national issues. Turning to elections, the CF called for polls to be held on schedule, urging citizens to update their biometric data and participate fully. It also warned against attempts to influence voters through financial means, underscoring the importance of a transparent and fair electoral process. Earlier this year, the Iraqi cabinet approved November 11, 2025, as the date for the parliamentary vote. The Independent High Electoral Commission (IHEC) estimated that around 30 million Iraqis will be eligible to cast their ballots.
