Crescent Petroleum
 

Crescent Petroleum, the Middle East’s oldest privately-owned upstream oil and gas company, has signed three 20-year agreements with Iraq’s Ministry of Oil to appraise, develop, and produce oil and gas from two blocks in Diyala governorate and one in Basra governorate. This is great news for both Iraq and Crescent Petroleum, which will be developing the Gilabat-Qumar and Khashim Ahmer-Injana fields in Diyala Province to initially produce 250 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscfd) of natural gas.

The agreements will help Iraq achieve energy self-sufficiency and support the country's long-term economic development plans. It will also create thousands of new jobs in Diyala and Basra, where unemployment rates are high. The announcement comes at a time when Iraq is trying to attract more foreign investment to its oil and gas sector to boost production and exports.

Crescent Petroleum's win of these contracts following the oil ministry’s fifth bid round demonstrates the company's experience and expertise in the industry, and its commitment to providing sustainable solutions for the energy sector. This development will help boost the UAE-based company's profile in the region and position it as a key player in the sector.

Furthermore, the agreement will also provide much-needed natural gas to fuel nearby power plants and improve government services. This is an important step towards reducing Iraq's reliance on fossil fuels and moving towards cleaner energy sources, which aligns with global efforts to address climate change.

In conclusion, the signing of these agreements is a win-win situation for Iraq and Crescent Petroleum. It will provide Iraq with the necessary resources to develop its economy and Crescent Petroleum with new business opportunities to expand its operations in the region. It is also a testament to the company's long-standing commitment to promoting sustainable energy solutions and supporting the growth and development of the region.
