You very transparent Habshan lol

I still think we're talking about two separate $1 billion deposits here Urals and the IOC payments are dependant on the KRG money not the IMMS money.

The court has ruled on the IMMS deposit but not the one belonging to the KRG, and according to the original news reports the payment problem is due to the KRG money being blocked.


"Dubai - The oil ministry of Kurdish Regional Government in Iraq has been unable to pay energy companies operating in the semi-autonomous region because its cash has been stuck in a Lebanese bank facing a liquidity crunch and the oil price crash will only make matters worse, sources told S&P Global Platts.

The Kurdish government had $1 billion in the bank account, which it cannot access because of the liquidity issues caused by the financial crisis in Lebanon, a source told Platts.
"That was cash the KRG put in there for a rainy day and now [is] not able to draw," said the source."

Thanks for that explanation Urals.

And thanks for finding and posting up the original snippet.

It's an important issue so let's hope it pans out accordingly and we start getting some regular payments.

"The trading houses have been receiving payments ever since !!!!"

We seem to be talking at cross purposes Urals.

You seem to be saying that because the trading houses have been receiving payments since 2016 then they in turn have been paying the IOCs since then.

Is that what you're saying.

"Oil companies operating in Iraqi Kurdistan have started receiving direct payments from some of the world’s largest trading houses, as a deepening budget crisis has left the regional government struggling to pay its bills. Genel Energy, Gulf Keystone Petroleum and DNO all received between $15m and $30m directly from one trading house in January, an official Kurdish government report showed on Thursd"

Sorry to disappoint you Urals but that quote is from this FT report dated 25th Feb 2016.

That's very good news Urals.

Can you elaborate.
