Global professional service platform forWedoany.com Report-Nov 7 ,Iraq's cabinet said on Tuesday it had ordered the semi-autonomous Kurdish region to immediately transfer its oil output to the country's state-run firm SOMO.
Iraq's cabinet also approved a budget measure to compensate the Kurdish government for production and transport costs, and set a $16 per barrel rate for foreign oil companies operating in Iraqi Kurdistan.
Oil flows through the Kurdistan Regional Government's (KRG) pipeline were halted by Turkey in March last year after the International Chamber of Commerce ordered Ankara to pay Baghdad damages of $1.5 billion for unauthorised exports by the KRG between 2014 and 2018.
