BP, CNPC Increase Stakes in Rumaila
Friday, 12 September, 2014
Reuters reports that a revised contract signed last week by BP and China’s CNPC for the Rumaila oilfield has raised both companies’ stakes in the project.
Thamer Ghadhban, energy adviser to former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, told the news agency that BP’s share has been increased from 38 percent to 47.6 percent, and CNPC’s from 37 percent to 46.4 percent.
The stake owned by Iraq’s State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO) was cut from 25 percent to 6 percent.
It was reported earlier this week that output targets for the supergiant field had been reduced, and the contract period extended.
