But the continuing crisis in this file until after the fall of Saddam's regime, according to observers refer to the issue of imbalance in the relationship between the two countries, especially with the arrival of friends to Tehran to power in Iraq since 2003.
The government is trying to Iraq since the change in Iraq to resolve the outstanding issues with its neighbors, including the common fields through dialogue and joint technical committees, in accordance with international norms, but that these committees is often the work is disabled or delayed or reports are also confirms politicians and observers exposed to the positions of political government, the cruel and flexible when it comes to Saudi Arabia or Kuwait, and the "courtesy and very unclear" when related to Iran, which openly in public that it produces oil from fields in common with Iraq, a rate of 130 thousand barrels per day and trying to produce more of it, and stresses at the same time it is not trying already Iraq These oil fields, given that Iraq could not yet developed a lot of those fields and make them productive.
It is these that the policy courtesy of the Government encourages Iran to continue the policy of the imbalance in the relationship with Iraq, and "legitimize" its excesses and other excesses of the neighboring countries, stressing that even the fall of the former regime did not hear about the "oil fields shared" with neighboring countries.
Common fields "heresy" to legitimize the new overtaking on Iraq
And had the idea of sharing wealth in the common fields with neighboring states categorically by some lawmakers who consider naming the common fields "heresy" invented Kuwait and Iran to impose a de facto policy on Iraq and the acquisition of treasury in the oil fields along the border.

Explains Nassif said, "naming the common fields emerged after the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime as a result expansion outside inside Iraq and the acquisition of some border areas, including oil fields," and found that "Iran's call for dialogue on common fields with Iraq and the demarcation of the border is an attempt to give legitimacy to this acquisition."
And recognize Iran through statements from its officials Alnaftyon that production from oil fields with Iraq now stands at more than 130 thousand barrels per day, and confirms that the 68 000 of which is produced in the fields could not Iraq developed so far, and draws to it was preparing to carry out more drilling in these wells during the next few days, but rest assured confirm that it does not already want to Iraq through its investments.
MP Nassif, and attached to the project, saying Iran "on the Iraqi government not to give legitimacy to the issue by rejecting any mechanism to neighboring countries, investment in these fields," she says because otherwise it means the "legitimacy of theft of Iraqi oil."
MPs: Government has no strategy, no planning
For the parliamentary energy commission, the failure to resolve the issue of common fields and invested by the neighboring countries are also the reasons for the absence of technology strategy and planning with the Iraqi government and the blackout on information from the Ministry of Oil.
According to a member of the Committee on Energy Gas Odai Awad, "The government does not even have now a clear strategy on investment and resolve the issue of the common fields with neighboring countries," explains that "the absence of strategy and lack of planning encourages countries that we have common fields with the investment, they can not wait" .
It is noteworthy Awad said in an interview for "Alsumaria News" that the absence of a strategy is not just about the fate of the common fields with Iran, but "also with Kuwait and other neighboring countries," and shows that the problems with Iran, "the Lucite large to the presence of joint committees," asserting that "The problem is more with the Kuwait, which has invested these fields and began to dig italics. "
Recognizes Awad that the Committee on Energy parliamentary "suffers from the difficulty of obtaining information from the Ministry of Oil, on issues of common fields," and described as "the ministry closed", calling on the government to "count" these fields and "negotiate" with the neighbors about them.
And supports the Kurdistan Alliance, I went to him for the parliamentary energy commission on Iraq's lack of a clear strategy for the management of this file, and emphasizes the need to "create protocols" to determine Iraq's share of the common fields.
He says the leader of the Alliance Mahmoud Othman said in an interview for "Alsumaria News" that "to find such a Albertkulat with either Iran or Kuwait will contribute to solving the problem of the common fields accurately and establish the mechanism for sharing oil and how to invest," but he adds that "The government is falling short in this area," blaming them "responsible for the delay" in resolving the issue raised in years.
Oil: We will not accept to waive Snhlha our fields and in accordance with international norms
The Ministry of the Iraqi oil they will not tolerate any abuse in Iraq, and stresses the need to resolve the issue of common fields "in accordance with international norms," arguing that drilling and investment of those fields from one party has significant damage.
According to ministry spokesman Assem Jihad said that "the Iraqi-Iranian joint committee meetings are held periodically and reached advanced results on the optimal investment for the fields," explains that "this will be through either choose a joint venture or a third party to choose a company in the process of Investment and extraction of oil. " , Noting that "the shares of the oil fields will be distributed evenly and as extensions of the field in the territory of each state."
The Jihad that "an asylum of any country unilaterally to drill wells in any common field and competitively would lead to a kind of low pressure in the field, and thus would be affected countries," pointing out that "the best solution is a joint investment of the fields and in a form which ensures that excess."
Jihad and emphasizes that "Iraq does not accept waive its oil if oil and one barrel, and the other party does not accept the waiver also over its wealth."
Government: Iran's investments in the common fields media
And reduce the fears of the Iraqi government on the investment of the oil fields shared by neighboring countries, especially Iran, and considers that the whole subject a media stir, confirming that Iraq does not have any information on Iran's investment to one of the joint oil fields.
According to government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said in an interview for "Alsumaria News", "Iraq does not have a certain technical information to indicate that Iran is investing one of the joint oil fields."
The company Engineering and Oil Development of the National Iranian Oil Company announced that it has signed, in (February 7, 2012), a contract for almost a quarter billion dollars, with Dana Petroleum local to develop the Shengli oil joint venture with Iraq, the agencies said an official Iranian Iran produces about 68 thousand barrels of crude oil per day in the four fields in common with Iraq, is Dehloran and oil a month and the threshing floor of the West and has shown, was quoted by those agencies of the Executive Director of the Oil Company of the central regions of Iran Mehdi Vkor saying that drilling operations are under way at eight sites within a number of common fields between Iran and Iraq , and the results are satisfactory.
And attached Dabbagh investment Iran, saying "This issue dealt with the media only," and asserts that "Iraq will exchange information on these fields consistently with both sides of Iran and Kuwait," stressing that "no State investment in these fields individually, the fact that this is the international bill ".
According to a study by the National Iranian Oil Company in late July of 2011, the reserves of joint oil fields with Iraq is about 95 billion barrels, and previously to the Minister of Iranian oil Rustam Ghasemi that students in July 2011 his government's plans to develop oil fields on the border with Iraq, and that infrastructure to those fields need to be more than 50 billion dollars to achieve Iran's economic plan the next twenty years, also stressed the need to raise his country's oil production in the common fields with Iraq, to 5.2 million barrels per day by the end of the fifth development plan in 2015.
And calls on the government spokesman to the investment of common fields "through the signing of an agreement" between the participating States oil fields called the "Convention on the Unification," pointing out that "The oil ministry has a plan in this area but its implementation is linked to other parties."
Skinner explains that "the government is waiting for the consent of the parties to sit down and agree to joint investment in those fields," noting that "Iraq demanded earlier in the need to resolve the issue of investment in those fields in common, because it is keen on keeping his interests and the interests of his people."
Observers: The Politics of Iran are very harmful and the government tolerate abuses
But directed the Iraqi government to reduce concerns about pumping Iran to Iraq's oil from the common fields and to consider the topic simply raise the media, can not, according to observers, however, be kept in check the policy of "tolerance" practiced by the Iraqi government to "interventions and abuses of Iran," in Iraq and at all levels.
According to the writer and political analyst Diaa Alchukrgi that "the Iraqi government for years tolerant interventions and abuses of Iran at all levels with respect to the oil fields or water and other files."
He adds Alchukrgi in an interview for "Alsumaria News", "Iran has many practices harmful to the process of democratic transition and on the economy and security of Iraq and this is very clear," He continues, criticizing the "lost confidence statements that the Iraqi government because some of them stems from the motives of non-national with a dye sectarian or partisan at the expense of interests of the country. "
He continues Alchukrgi "We doubt the government's words on the issue of Iran and other interest especially since the Shiites or Iran or the party is almost overshadowed by the interest of Iraq."
It is noteworthy Alchukrgi to the position of the Iraqi government "applies to the supporters of the Shiite parties and opponents of the Sunni forces is better tolerated with Iran and the other refuses to tolerate with Saudi Arabia," and asserts that "these entities are not eligible for state-building," adding that the actions of those actors show a "failure political. "
Specialists: Iraq, the only one who did not address the issue of common fields
And invites experts and specialists in regard to the oil to move quickly to resolve this issue of the common fields, and consider that the position of the government which is still below the level of ambition.
He says former oil minister Ibrahim Bahr al-Ulum, an expert in the field that "Iraq is the only country which has not yet addressed the problems of joint oil fields in earnest commensurate with international norms in the petroleum industry."
He says Bahr al-Ulum said in an interview for "Alsumaria News" that "most of the countries that have oil fields in common, seeking day and through a third party to manage these fields in order to achieve its interests," and adds that otherwise the problem would "continue," explaining that "the Ministry of Oil formed since the time of committees to Ffinena treatment on these outstanding issues, but so far did not show anything important in this regard. "
Bahr al-Ulum and confirms that "to reach joint agreements become not difficult," and asserts that all you need those conventions "is the interest of the parties."
And calls on the Sea of science that the Iraqi government to "put the issue of common fields within the priority instead of blaming the neighboring countries to invest individually," stressing that "there is no justification for the lack of development of the common fields from the Iraqi side."
For his part, says a professor of petroleum engineering at the University of Baghdad, Mohammed Jawad Saleh, "The exploitation of any party to the oil individually in the common fields will affect the other party," noting that "the exploitation of Iran's oil fields would deprive Iraq of the oil in these fields."
He says the horse in an interview for "Alsumaria News" that "international law does not allow any country to exploit the other party, but at the same time does not prevent any country that has common fields with other countries to exploit its natural resources."
The horse is considered to be "the only solution to the problem of oil fields is the agreement of the parties with a third party is one of the specialized international companies to assess the field and determine the share of each Party in accordance with the mechanisms of minutes."
There are in Iraq 24 oil fields in common with Iran, Kuwait, Syria, including 15 field producer and other untapped, and highlighted those fields Safwan and Rumaila and Zubair with Kuwait, and crazy and Abu West and Bazargan, humorous and oil betrayed with Iran.
Revealed the excavations carried out by the National Iranian Oil Company that Iraq possess 12 field joint contains a reserve of up to more than 95 billion barrels, the largest reserves of hydrocarbons in a single location in the Middle East, and asserts that it is exploring about 130 thousand barrels per day of oil from the these fields, 68 000 barrels of which is extracted from the fields of Iraq did not develop until now.
Emphasizes Industry experts that space is relatively simple from those fields located outside the territory of Iraq, but Iraq is weaker than its neighbors, technology and financial exploitation of oil reservoirs common, especially as he did not reach so far to hold a joint agreements with Iran and Kuwait on the exploitation of these reservoirs, for reasons including the failure to resolve the demarcation of the border problems with them.
