International oil firms stop operations as Iraqi-Kurdish oil dispute continues
A Kurdish official told Al-Monitor that the Kurdistan Regional Government disagrees with an Iraqi government proposal to resolve the issue, as the stoppage of oil exports to Turkey threatens the autonomous region's economy.
Another international oil company announced on Wednesday it is stopping operations in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq following a court ruling that halted the autonomous region’s oil exports to Turkey.
In a statement, the Norwegian oil and gas operator DNO said it had begun an “orderly shutdown of its operated oil fields in the Kurdistan region of Iraq."
