Statement from the KRG Ministry of Natural Resources

Pursuant to the decisions of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Council of Ministers, the Ministry of Natural Resources has fulfilled its obligations for oil exports from the Kurdistan Region, in coordination with the Federal Ministry of Oil of Iraq.

All domestic and foreign companies, except one foreign entity yet to formalise its commitment, have signed the agreement. This exception does not impact the trilateral agreement among our Ministry, the participating companies, and the Federal Ministry of Oil.

On 23 September 2025, our Ministry and the companies submitted their official approvals to the Federal Ministry of Oil. We await the Federal Ministry’s response to finalise the agreement, enabling the State Organisation for Marketing of Oil (SOMO) to commence oil exports from the Kurdistan Region promptly and implement the agreement’s provisions.
