A single-sourced report indicates that Russian oil companies are being ousted from Iraq and replaced by American companies. The report did not name the specific firms or provide details on the timeline or reasons for the move.
A report published Sunday night claims that Russian oil companies are being pushed out of Iraq and replaced by American firms. The report, attributed to The Zioneer's desk, provides no additional details on which companies are affected or the timing of the transition. If confirmed, the development would mark a significant shift in Iraq's energy sector and align with previous reports of increased US oil industry involvement in the country. The Zioneer has previously reported on Iraq signing a management deal with US company Halliburton for the Bin Umar and Sindbad oil fields.
