DNO Updates on Operations
December 8th, 2011 |
DNOissued an update this morning on it operations:
DNO’s WI production from the Tawke Field in October 2011 was 26,649 bopd. DNO’s WI production 2011 YTD from Kurdistan was 35,517 bopd. The production figures from Tawke are reported as follows:
The gross production from the Tawke field during October was 42,806 bopd, and this production level is expected also for November.
Drilling and well operations in Kurdistan Region
Erbil PSC: Bastora-1A horizontal test producer
Test production from Bastora-1A is continuing at total gross rates of around 600 – 700 bpd from natural flow, of which around 60% is oil and 40% is water. The oil produced is delivered to the local market. A further evaluation of the production development indicates that the water produced from the well is formation water. The next step is to install a down-hole pump to increase the production rate from the well.
The data and observations from the test production from Bastora-1A serves as important input to the design and locations of future development wells, and the development plan for the Benenan and Bastora oil discoveries is on track for delivery before year end.
Dohuk PSC: Summail-1 exploration well
The Testing of Summail-1 is now completed. The test results confirm the presence of heavy crude oil in the Jurassic interval and natural gas in Cretaceous. The Triassic interval tested water.
Sustainable rates were not achieved during the tests of the oil bearing Jurassic intervals, and DNO will evaluate alternative methods for re-testing these zones at a later stage.
The lowermost part of Cretaceous tested water. A Cretaceous middle interval tested natural gas at a test rate of 8MM scf/day. This test interval is approximately 200 m below the initial test carried out whilst drilling the top of Cretaceous; which tested 3.6MM scf/day.
DNO will now evaluate the significance of the oil and gas discoveries in Summail-1, and a 3D seismic acquisition across the entire Summail structure is being considered as part of the 2012 work program.
The well will be now suspended for possible re-entry and further testing at a later stage.
Tawke PSC: Peshkabir-1 exploration well
Drilling of the Pehkabir-1 exploration well is progressing according to plan. The objectives of this well are to test the hydrocarbon potential in the Cretaceous, Jurassic and Triassic intervals. The well has not yet reached the first target.
Drilling of Tawke-16 is expected to commence within the next few weeks using the rig that was used to drill and test Summail-1. The main objective for this well is to test additional resource potential within the northern flank of the Tawke field.

Décès de Danielle MITTERRAND, “La mère des Kurdes”
November 23rd, 2011 |
Danielle Mitterrand, ancienne Première Dame de France et Présidente de la Fondation France-Libertés, est décédée dans la nuit du lundi 21 au mardi 22 novembre, à l’Hôpital Européen Georges Pompidou où elle avait été admise vendredi dernier pour des problèmes pulmonaires.
Née le 29 octobre 1924, engagée dans la Résistance dès l’âge de 17 ans, elle avait consacré sa vie d’abord aux combats de la Gauche aux côtés de François Mitterrand, puis à partir de l’élection de ce dernier en mai 1981 à la défense des droits de l’homme en France et à travers le monde. Mettant à profit sa notoriété et sa position de Première Dame, elle a pris la défense des groupes et des peuples victimes des dictatures, des injustices de l’Histoire et de la Realpolitik.
Dès 1982 elle a joué un rôle actif pour la cause kurde en soutenant la création de l’Institut kurde de Paris pour sensibiliser l’opinion publique et “éveiller les consciences”. Elle a ensuite envoyé des observateurs aux procès des militants kurdes persécutés par la junte militaire turque des années 1980, dénoncé les campagnes génocidaires menées de 1986 à 1990 par le régime de Saddam Hussein contre les Kurdes en Irak, défendu les Kurdes d’Iran lors de l’assassinat de leur leader, Dr. Abdul Rahman Ghassemlou en juillet 1989 à Vienne par le régime iranien.
Après une visite dans les camps des réfugiés kurdes irakiens en Turquie, rescapés des gazages, elle a convaincu les autorités françaises d’en accueillir un millier à l’occasion du bicentenaire de la Révolution Française. Ensuite, elle n’a pas ménagé sa peine pour sensibiliser les Grands de ce monde à venir en aide au peuple kurde. À cette fin, elle a multiplié des voyages à Moscou, à Washington, à Bonn, organisé avec l’Institut kurde et sa fondation France-Libertés, des conférences, des colloques pour sensibiliser l’opinion publique internationale à la tragédie kurde. Ses efforts ont beaucoup contribué à la création en juin 1991 d’une “zone de protection” pour les quelque 2 millions de Kurdes fuyant vers les frontières de l’Iran et de la Turquie au lendemain de la première Guerre du Golfe. Elle se rendit auprès des réfugiés en franchissant “clandestinement” la frontière irano-irakienne et leur apporta une aide matérielle substantielle. Plusieurs centaines de manuels scolaires imprimés en kurde en France furent acheminés au Kurdistan irakien pour assurer la rentrée de 1991.
En juillet 1992 elle a inauguré l’Assemblée nationale du Kurdistan fraîchement élue. Lors de ce séjour, sur la route de la ville martyre de Halabja, son convoi fut victime d’un attentat des services irakiens faisant plusieurs morts parmi les peshmergas chargés de sa protection.
En 1994, lors de l’arrestation d’une dizaine de députés kurdes démocratiquement élus du Parti de la Démocratie (DEP) en Turquie, elle prit leur défense en créant un Comité internationale pour leur libération (CILDEKT) et mena une vaste campagne international pour sensibiliser l’opinion à leur sort.
Considérée comme “la mère des Kurdes”, Danielle Mitterrand s’est rendue à deux autres reprises au Kurdistan irakien, en 2002 et en 2009 où elle fut accueillie avec tous les honneurs et surtout beaucoup d’affection et de reconnaissance. Dans chaque ville kurde, des écoles et des rues portent son nom.
La disparition de Danielle Mitterrand endeuille le Kurdistan.
Un livre de condoléances sera tenu à l’Institut kurde pour les Kurdes et leurs amis qui veulent exprimer leur sympathie et leur témoignage.

Kurdistan’s President Meets Northern Ireland Minister
November 4th, 2011 |
Minister Foster who is heading a business delegation from Northern Ireland said she and her business delegation are very pleased with their visit to Erbil, especially participating in this year’s Erbil International Trade Fair.
“We have had a very successful visit so far and we have a number of companies from Northern Ireland that participated in the Erbil Trade Fair. I think it will be an ongoing engagement between Northern Ireland and the Kurdistan Region,” said Mrs. Foster, adding that there also other opportunities for cooperation other than trade and business.
President Barzani praised the significant participation of companies from Northern Ireland, hoping that this relationship will grow stronger and expand to cover other areas, saying “the size of this participation was very encouraging for us.”
The trade fair this year, held the 24-27 October, will be the largest so far, highlighting the rapid economic growth in Kurdistan. This year’s fair will host more than 850 companies from over 25 countries, showcasing a wide selection of goods and services in different economic sectors.
Iraq to Build Five Industrial Cities
November 3rd, 2011 |
Iraqi government adviser Salam al-Quraishi told Mawtani:
”The government has agreed to the proposal in view of its vital importance for Iraq, from an industrial point of view, as well as the saving of hard currency and the creation of job opportunities.“
The government has asked the Ministry of Planning to draft the final layout of the industrial cities, determine their cost and submit a list of companies best able to build them.
About $1.2 billion [1.4 trillion Iraqi dinars] will be allocated for the construction of the cities in Baghdad, Basra, Ninawa, Najaf and Babil.
Mohammad Obais, an adviser to the Ministry of Industry, said:
“The cities will have different areas, but none less than 500 dunams, and will include various factories and production lines, such as plants for iron, steel, concrete, aluminum and plastics, in addition to factories for electrical items, copper and bricks“.
Obais said there is only enough money in the state budget for five cities in the coming years, “but we have the ambition in the long term to build other cities in each province”.
Hisham Ahmed al-Adly, of the Ministry of Industry, said “agreements will be reached with well known foreign companies with solid reputations to start work early next year”.
