Iraq committing to that pipeline is very good, shows HCL is close IMO.

ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – Iraq’s Interior Minister Yassin al-Yasiri arrived in Erbil on Wednesday evening, spearheading a high-level government delegation set to meet with his Kurdistan Region counterpart.

The trip marks Yasiri’s first visit to the autonomous Kurdish region since he formally took office in Prime Minister Adil Abdul Mahdi’s government in late June.

The Kurdistan Region’s Interior Minister, Rebar Ahmad, along with other ministry officials, received Yasiri and his accompanying delegation at Erbil International Airport late in the day.


Yasiri’s delegation included officials in the federal government, directorates of nationality, passports, and borders, and airport and traffic security.

After their arrival, Iraqi Interior Ministry spokesperson Saad Maan told reporters that one of the topics that would be explored is “security cooperation,” among others. Maan also said the Kurdish and Iraqi ministries would discuss the state of the country’s borders, specifically with Syria.

The two sides will hold further talks on Thursday.

One unresolved issue is the Iraqi government’s approval of the formalization of many border crossings with Iran, which has already agreed to it from their side. Border officials from Baghdad are among the Iraqi delegation, which suggests this might be a topic of discussion.

Over the past few months, the new Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) cabinet has had several delegation visits and exchanges with the Federal Government of Iraq to find solutions to long-standing issues between the two sides within the framework of the Iraqi Constitution.

Ties between Erbil and Baghdad have significantly improved after being strained over the past few years following the Kurdistan Region’s historic independence referendum, which saw a landslide majority favor statehood.

Funny how the OilyStrawmanChild seems so keen on telling us all how well he is doing, and how life is so great for him.

Nobody else feels the need to do that.



So that means, er, what, exactly?

Hi Stockport, that's an interesting dilemma that you pose in relation to Mr Hills and his soiled fists and equally soiled underwear. (Post GKP losses).

Thankfully, Mr Hills had already foreseen this thorny dilemma and forwarded me his legal costs for safekeeping.

I immediately ploughed said funds straight into Bury Football Club, where I was assured that the immediate dividend of investing in a football club that did not actually play football would reap a five fold dividend.

With his finances rejuvenated, Mr Hills will immediately be able to settle his outstanding issues with 'injurylawyersforyou.com' and have enough left over to triangulate where GKP board members live. Bish bosh, job's a good un.

And it is all PERFECTLY LEGAL!

I do believe that the ex postman's opinion is flawed:-. It's obvious why the information has been removed, JF and the BoD are unable to prove any of the numbers from the Kozel reign and therefore cannot support or be associated with them. Doing "things by the book" rather supports the above.

Since the MNR letter to the Times haven't there been companies that have downgraded their oil reserves? Genel for instance, at least twice.

Examples of "getting one's house in order" n'est ce pas.

As the ex postman states "That means doing things by the book, talking only numbers that are "proven", and not taking unnecessary risks".

Therefore absolutely none of the numbers (as I've been saying for a very long time) from the Kozel reign can now be believed. So all the data from that period is meaningless and irrlevent.

Can even the falling Reserve P2 numbers be believed now?

"Information that is now "missing" from the website is all the proof required that JF and the BoD are not prepared to support the bogus numbers and data from the Kozel regime."

Complete tosh of course, no "proof" whatsoever.

The fact is that we don't definitively know why information from the Kozel era has been removed from the website.

What we do know is that Jon Ferrier is a man in a grey suit who wanted to run a "boring" oil company. That means doing things by the book, talking only numbers that are "proven", and not taking unnecessary risks.

A big risk is getting on the wrong side of the KRG which is what happened when Asher wound up the MNR resulting in Hawrami threatening to pull the PSC.

When dealing with the KRG Jon Ferrier needs to tread carefully and err on the side of caution.

For political, competitive, and other reasons the KRG are naturally extremely protective of their oilfield's secrets and take the issue of confidentiality very seriously.

As I recall, the information was removed from the website around the time or after the MNR issued this:-

CAPS. are mine.

3rd October 2016.

"Ministry of Natural Resources Statement.

It has come to the attention of the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) that a London-based company (Company) is promoting itself to potential investors as a new upstream investment vehicle focussed on the Kurdistan Region.

THE COMPANY IS CIRCULATING PRESENTATIONAL MATERIAL AND INFORMATION to prospective investors in which it states that its management team includes current executives of international oil companies (IOCs) active in the Kurdistan Region, and also a serving senior official in the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), who is now under investigation by MNR.

MNR is of the opinion that their involvement may have given rise to a serious conflict of interest with regard to THE SECURITY OF CONFIDENTIAL DATA FOR OIL & GAS BLOCKS to which the KRG official and the IOC executives have had access as part of their duties.

MNR has written to the IOCs involved requesting they conduct an investigation into the alleged involvement of their executives and notify us as soon as possible about whether a conflict of interest has occurred AND WHETHER THE KRG's CONFIDENTIAL DATA MAY HAVE BEEN USED OR DISCLOSED to potential investors WITHOUT THE KRG's CONSENT.

The KRG normally welcomes new investors to its oil and gas sector. HOWEVER THE LAWS OF THE KURDISTAN REGION ARE CLEAR ABOUT THE UNAUTHORISED USE OF CONFIDENTIAL DATA and the involvement of government officials in private business. MNR WILL NOT ENTER INTO ANY DISCUSSIONS WITH COMPANIES or potential investors THAT DO NOT RESPECT THE KRG’s LAWS AND REGULATIONS."

Could some of the presentational "material and information" referred to have come from the GKP website?

No doubt that missive will have caused every CEO in Kurdistan to sit up and ensure that his house was in order with respect to the KRG laws and regulations concerning confidential information.

Clearly and not unnaturally there's a lot of information concerning their oilfields that the KRG consider confidential, don't want in the public domain and don't want talked about.

And that would include information about Shaikan on the GKP website and in webcasts.

Best for Jon Ferrier to play safe and just remove all of it. That way he can't go wrong.
