Oil Ministry nets significant victory with three mid-size oil firms successfully bidding on six projects after concerns raised by companies.

A day before a fifth fields auction, Iraq's sole successful gas field thus far from a previous bidding round is readied to supply much needed gas to power plants.

Oil slicks in the Basra Gulf reveal that Iraq's export ambitions may be putting too much pressure on outdated pipelines.

Basra Gulf loadings see modest increase while Kurdistan's Ceyhan sales are slightly lower.

The Oil Ministry has shortened the deadline for its fifth bidding round, giving companies just days to evaluate big changes to the contract model.

As Basra Oil Company prepares to take over operatorship from Shell, it is finalizing contracts with KBR and Anton to help manage the super-giant field.

Pearl Petroleum has signed a Gas Sales Agreement that promises to boost KRG natural gas output this year and more than double it by 2020.

Rising output at Iraq's two most prolific fields boosted the country's production average.
