Iraq oil min says 2006 oil exports average 1.65 mbpd
(Reuters)

28 December 2006



BAGHDAD - Iraq’s oil minister said on Thursday the country has exported an average 1.65 million barrels per day of crude this year, nearly 150,000 bpd higher than estimates from shipping and industry sources.


Hussain al-Shahristani told the cabinet in an annual review meeting that insurgent attacks idled the main export pipeline in the north for most of the year leaving Iraq dependent on the south for urgently needed oil revenue.

“If we had managed to pump oil through the northern pipelines we would have produced around 3 mln bpd and exported around 2.25 mln bpd,” he said. Production this year averaged 2.3 million bpd, according to Shahristani.

Industry sources say Iraqi exports of some 1.5 million bpd this year are up 100,000 bpd on the average volume in 2005.

Iraqi officials are aiming for a bold production target of 4.3 million bpd within the next four years, but sabotage and lack of foreign investment may make that goal unachievable. They hope Iraq’s oilfields pump 6 million to 8 million bpd by 2015.

Iraq desperately needs foreign investment to revive its shattered economy, which relies heavily on oil export revenues. The country straddles the world’s third largest oil reserves.

Shahristani said Iraq’s long awaited oil law that sets policy to help lure foreign investment will be presented to the government at the start of January. Iraqi officials have said the law would be before parliament before the end of this year.
Senior sources said last week a tentative deal would allow the regions to negotiate contracts with foreign investors but give the central government the final say.

The contract issue is vital to Iraq’s future as a solution favouring the regions would devolve power over its most valuable resource to the majority Shias and the Kurds whose regions are home to the country’s most coveted oilfields.

Minority Sunni Arabs, dominant under Saddam Hussein before the U.S.-led invasion in 2003, fear regional devolution will leave them with nothing.

Chill the champagne , it's party time !!!!!!!

Is the Iraqi economy crashing through here?

Are we watching a John Ford western taking place in Iraq, where the private economy is in the role of the cavalry, riding to the rescue? In a column today in the New York Post called "The Boom Outside Baghdad" Amir Taheri contributes several possible tiles to this mosaic. Yesterday, AT pointed to the now 10% rise in the value of the Iraqi dinar since August. Yes, this appears to have been stimulated by an increase in the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) interest rate to 16%, but (a) this rate is not out of line with the inflation rate in Iraq of 50% and (b) if there was panic about the future of Iraq, no measures of this type would increase the value of the dinar.

We do not yet have enough information to come to a firm conclusion, but it appears there is a good chance that Bush's bet on the heart of the Iraqi people may be coming home here, in spite of the best efforts of the nihilists. We don't want to panic now if we have arrived at the critical moment for the future of Iraq. Economic activity suggests that we may have arrived at that point.

Baghdad-Saddam
Saddam execution is unstoppable, says PM Maliki
By Dergham Mohammed Ali
Baghdad, Dec 29, (VOI) – Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said on Friday that the execution sentence against ousted President Saddam Hussein "has entered its executive stages…and no one can stop it."
Receiving martyrs' families on Friday, Maliki said: "It's just a matter of time."
The Iraqi premier, in the meeting carried by the official al-Iraqiya TV, said that anyone objecting the execution of Saddam is actually "trivializing the blood of Iraq's martyrs."
The Higher Criminal Court's appeals body, presided by Judge Aref al-Shahin, had upheld on Tuesday the death sentence handed down against Saddam and two of his aides.
Shahin said the ruling "must be enforced in one month as of the date of endorsement."
