Remarks on Recent Statements from the Ministry of Oil
In the past two weeks, several statements reportedly attributed to the Minister of Oil, Mr. Adel Abdul Mahdi, have been circulating.
An earlier one advocates the benefits of the Production Sharing Contracts, while the recent one deals with the alleged Iraqi indebtedness to IOCs; both are shaky and stand on thin ice!
I have written a brief commentary on each of the two statements and shared them among my very wide international network of contacts. In this intervention I am addressing both beginning with latest issue.
