The Ministry of Oil in Baghdad, in the November 17, 2011, that Exxon Mobil would lose $150 million by the contract with the Kurdistan region, as indicated that the company did not respond today to such contracts, confirmed that the oil and gas law if passed will not confer any legitimacy on the violation of contracts, the company warned of the dissolution of the contract signed with them earlier to develop the West Qurna field in Basra.
The head of the Kurdistan Regional Government Barham Saleh announced, in November 13, 2011, in agreement with the central government to raise the region's oil exports to 175 thousand barrels per day.
Iraq seeks through the development of oil fields and presented to the international companies, to reach a production of at least 11 million barrels per day, during the next six years, as well as 12 million barrels per day after the addition of the quantities of the other fields of national effort.
It is noteworthy that Article 140 of the Iraqi Constitution, provides for normalization of the situation in the province of Kirkuk and disputed areas in other provinces such as Nineveh and Diyala, and set a time limit ended in the atheist and the thirtieth of December 2007 to implement all provisions in the said article of the proceedings, also left for the children those areas, freedom of self-determination of both survival and independent administrative unit or attached to the Kurdistan Region of Iraq through a referendum,
but the obstacles many have delayed implementation of some basic items in the above-mentioned article of the reasons politicians say the Kurds are politically motivated, while Baghdad says the delay is intentional, knowing it's already the Ministerial Committee responsible for the enforcement article, carried out some paragraphs, such as compensation for those affected, with the implementation of the most important of which has not been a referendum on the fate of the city.
