'Reform Iraq's oil law to attract investments'
LONDON: Iraq's draft oil law has gaping holes that must be filled before multinationals will invest their capital or technology, one of its authors said yesterday.

Tariq Shafiq, together with two other oil experts, spent months last year drawing up the rules Baghdad hopes will lure major oil companies that have waited for years to tap the world's third-biggest oil reserves.

The law, which parliament could pass by the end of this month, has been threatened by Kurds in the north who say they are not getting their fair share.

"Technically, the law leaves much to be desired," said Shafiq, a founder of the Iraq National Oil Company (INOC) in 1964. He left Iraq a few years later and returned in 2003.

"Why would a respectable major oil company go to Iraq? If they get a contract, what would they use it for? They can't operate under the current circumstances and this is neither in the interest of the companies nor the country." The biggest problem is the federal versus the regional government of Kurdistan and, even after months of wrangling, the legislation before parliament can offer no protection to a company that has only secured a regional deal.

"There are many procedural things that can go wrong - and that will cost time, effort and money," said Shafiq, who directs oil consultancy Petrolog & Associates.

Backed by Washington, the law is vital to securing the billions of dollars needed to boost Iraq's oil output - now stuck at two million barrels a day - and rebuild its economy.

But some of Iraq's legislators still resent the British, US and French companies that controlled their oil industry for half a century through the Iraq Petroleum Company.

From the time it struck oil at the huge Kirkuk field in 1927 until nationalism forced it out in 1972, IPC - made up of BP, Exxon,Mobil, Shell, CFP (Total) and Partex - was in charge.

Shafiq said Baghdad should not let foreign companies regain the upper hand.

"We learned our lessons from the concession era before nationalisation in the 1970s. We lost a lot of money and market share," he said.

The draft law calls for a newly-created INOC to control the country's coveted, already-producing oilfields and creates a federal oil and gas council, which will be the ultimate policy-setter.

Shafiq said the oil and gas council, which would draw representation from across the regions, would lack the required managerial competence to run an industry battered by years of chronic mismanagement, wars and sanctions.

"The decision-making process has got to be corrected," he said. "You can't ensure capable management and decision-making from them."

Iraq's top Shi'ite party changes platform
12/05/2007
More Latest
By Mariam Karouny

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq's biggest Shi'ite party on Saturday pledged its allegiance to the country's top Shi'ite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, in a move that would distance it from Shi'ite Iran where it was formed.

The Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI) said it had introduced significant policy changes and changed its name to the Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council (SIIC) -- dropping the word "Revolution".

Party officials told Reuters on Friday that the changes were aimed at giving the party more of an Iraqi flavour and to reflect the changing situation in the country since the U.S.-led invasion toppled Saddam Hussein in 2003.

They said the party had been close to Sistani for some time, but a two-day conference on Baghdad that ended on Friday had formalised relations with the influential cleric.

"We cherish the great role played by the religious establishment headed by Grand Ayatollah Sayed Ali al-Sistani ... in preserving the unity of Iraq and the blood of Iraqis and in helping them building a political system based on the constitution and law," said Rida Jawad al-Takki, a senior group member, who read out the party's decisions to reporters.

The party pledged to follow the guidance of the Shi'ite establishment, he said.

Sistani, a reclusive figure who lives in the Iraqi holy Shi'ite city of Najaf, is the spiritual leader of Iraq's majority Shi'ites. He rarely makes public statements but his utterances are closely monitored by his followers.

Officials said the party, which was formed in Iran in the 1980s to oppose Saddam, had previously taken its guidance from the religious establishment of Welayat al Faqih, led by the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Iran.

Islamic experts say the authority of the Faqih, who "surpasses all others in knowledge" of Islamic law and justice, is not limited to his home country, but extends to all Shi'ites who pledge obedience and believe in the Faqih.

The Faqih has the final word on matters related to Islam from political, social and religious issues.

SIIC's leader, Abdul Aziz al-Hakim, is a powerful cleric who has good relations with the United States.

A key player in post-Saddam Iraqi politics, SIIC holds around a quarter of the seats in parliament occupied by the ruling Shi'ite Alliance of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki.

Iraq and Iran fought a bitter war for eight years in the 1980s. Relations have improved since the fall of Saddam, although Iraqi leaders have to walk a delicate line between the United States and Iran, which are at loggerheads over Tehran's nuclear programme and the violence in Iraq.

Cheney, Saudi king to discuss Iraq policy and Iran

riyadh • When US Vice President Dick Cheney meets Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah in the remote desert town of Tabuk today, two old allies will assess whether US policy is helping or hindering regional stability.

Analysts say that over the last six months tension has crept into a relationship that has been a foundation stone for US political and economic influence in the Gulf Arab region which looks to Washington for military support.

But the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 has turned traditional thinking on its head, exposing the limits of US military power and putting Shi’ite Iran and its allies in Arab countries at the vanguard of a new phase of anti-Americanism.

“The Americans are desperate for Saudi support for their policy in the region. They are really in a weak position. They need the Saudis more than the Saudis need them now,” said Dubai-based analyst Mustafa Alani.

But this radicalism is a threat to Saudi Arabia too.

Diplomats in Riyadh, which sees itself as the bastion of

Sunni Islam, say that when Cheney visited the region in November King Abdullah expressed anger over the fate of Sunnis in Iraq’s sectarian fighting and Tehran’s nuclear energy programme.

Cheney said Iran, which he described as a major concern to Sunni Arab states, would top his talks with Arab leaders.

“The (Iranians) are obviously a major source of concern not only for the United States but also for most of our friends in the area, who are worried when they see an Iranian government that appears to be operating in a threatening manner...So Iran is a big area of concern,” Cheney told Fox News on Thursday.

Iran denies any intention to develop nuclear weapons but the United States and Israel have threatened military action if efforts to halt its civilian nuclear drive come to nothing.

Riyadh also opened its own diplomatic channel with Tehran, even receiving President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad who is an unpopular figure in Saudi political circles and Saudi-controlled media.

King Abdullah, who crafts the image of a pan-Arab populist, even told an Arab summit in March that the US military presence in Iraq was an “illegitimate occupation”. “King Abdullah has started to position himself as an Arab leader autonomous from the United States,” said Amr Hamzawy of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington.

But he added: “Strategically, the US and Saudi Arabia remain extremely close.”

With domestic pressure strong in the US for the bulk of its troops to leave Iraq this year or 2008, Saudi Arabia and its Arab allies Egypt and Jordan want Washington to press Iraq’s Shi’ite-led government to broker a new political deal with Sunnis.

They want to see the Iraqi constitution rewritten, Shi’ite militias disbanded, the oil law repealed, and Sunnis ensured a fundamentally larger role in a new divvying up of power.

Saudi officials have given the impression of having lost faith in the Iraqi government led by Nuri Al-Maliki to end sectarianism, and the Saudi and Iraqi media have suggested Maliki was recently rebuffed in a desire to visit Riyadh.

For its part, Iraq believes Arab countries could do more to put down a Sunni insurgency that kills hundreds of Shi’ite civilians by the week in suicide bomb attacks.

Cheney’s trip follows on from last week’s conference on Iraq at the Egyptian resort of Sharm Al Sheikh, where Washington began tentative steps to talk with old foes, Iran and Syria. Diplomats say Cheney’s stop off just for several hours in a distant northern town to meet the king shows a desire to warm up recently cooler relations

Kurdish officials to meet govt in Baghdad over oil
By Ahmed Rasheed

BAGHDAD, 11 May 2007 (Reuters)

Senior Iraqi Kurdish officials will travel to Baghdad next week hoping to end an impasse with the central government over a draft oil law to share revenues from the world's third-largest oil reserves.

Shi'ite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, under pressure to push through key legislation Washington says is vital to healing sectarian divisions among Iraq's sects and ethnic groups, told an international economic conference on Iraq last week that the bill had been submitted to parliament for approval.

Oil Minister Hussain al-Shahristani, also speaking ahead of the meeting in Egypt in which industrialised powers pressed reforms in Iraq in exchange for aid, told reporters in Saudi Arabia last week that Kurds were "very happy" with the draft law and that all the groups had agreed to pass it by the end of May.

But an oil industry source told Reuters on Thursday the bill was in a state body charged with drafting legislation, and that Kurds still had misgivings over annexes they say would wrest oilfields from regions and place them under a new state-oil firm.

Iraq's Kurdish Prime Minister Nejruvan Barzani said he will lead a high-level delegation of Kurdish officials to discuss the annexes with the central government next week.

"Next week, new negotiations will start over the appendixes to the oil law and the revenue distribution law. I will participate in a large part of these negotiations," Barzani told reporters in the northern city of Arbil late on Wednesday.

"The Kurds had a big role in writing the draft of the suggested oil law. I am optimistic in resolving the disputes."

An oil law is vital to securing foreign investment to boost Iraq's oil output and rebuild its war-ravaged economy.

But divisive issues not formalised when cabinet passed the law in February, such as how revenues would be shared and who would gain control of discovered but undeveloped oilfields, has delayed its approval.

Barzani has insisted that Kurds want to include a separate law on oil revenue management that would set up a Kurdish fund. The central government has said it wants revenues put in a central account and distributed according to Iraq's population.

Most of Iraq's proven oil reserves are in the Shi'ite south and in the Kurdish north.

A fair distribution of the oil wealth is vital for national reconciliation because Sunni Arabs, who live in areas with no oil in central and western Iraq, fear a bad deal would cut them off from any windfall. Sunni Arabs are the backbone of the insurgency.

Iraq's Deputy Prime minister Barham Salih, the chief architect of the draft oil law, told Reuters in an interview earlier this month he was confident a draft oil law would be approved in parliament after officials from the central government and Kurdistan meet to iron out differences.

He said that these changes should have been made six months ago but «circumstances» prevented it from achieving that. He ruled that the small change in key leadership in the party, and added that a statement would be issued by all these changes but it has refrained from the date of issuance, but the leading another sign it today.

He denied the small to be behind these changes disagreement with Iran, which founded the party, and said that «our relationship with Iran has been and still moving toward friendship», and added that Iran has served the Iraqi opposition.

He said another prominent leader of the Council, told Reuters, requesting anonymity, said that the changes would give the organization «Iraqi flavor more». He added that the change would be a step towards «Arguenh» Shiite groups in Iraq. He said that among the changes drop the word «revolution» of the name of the organization to become «the Iraqi Islamic Supreme Council».
