Kirkuk Oil Fields to Resume in 2007
With all the attacks and the recent kidnapping of the oil workers in Kirkuk. Oil will not flow out of the largest oil field in the North until January 2007 or early next year. All the attacks have taken a toll on the oil infrastructure, and I am sure they are in need of badly needed parts and the technical expertise especially from the large oil company’s that are badly needed in Iraq but won’t go at this time.
The Oil Mafia in the south looks like they are going to reap the rewards or take up the slack in the southern oil fields and producing oil for the whole country.
Look at the figures for the oil production I thought Iraq just reported a 15% increase.
