DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/xxhhsr/kurdistan_region) has announced the addition of the "Kurdistan Region - Special Report" report to their offering.
The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) operates an area thought to hold an estimated 45 billion barrels of oil. The relative stability of the Kurdistan Region of northern Iraq, situated between Iran, Syria and Turkey, has swiftly turned it into one of the area's more attractive destinations for foreign energy and oil & gas investment.
- While insurgency and instability continue to rock southern Iraq, the Kurdistan Region has become something of a safe haven' for foreign E&P operators.
- Despite recent increases in hydrocarbon production, the country's exports have been hamstrung by disagreements between the governments in Ankara, Baghdad and Erbil.
- The disruption caused by the recent Iraqi elections has seen the KRG look to force Baghdad's hand regarding exports.
- Meanwhile, with storage capacity at the Turkish port of Ceyhan running out, Ankara may sell Kurdish oil without Baghdad's agreement.
