Exxon ’Fully Engaged’ in Iraqi Megaproject

摘要

Exxon Mobil is committed to participating in the $53 billion South Iraq Integrated Project (SIIP), despite a series of recent security scares in Iraq, Oil Minister Thamer Ghadhban tells Energy Intelligence. Exxon “are fully engaged with us,” Ghadhban said in an interview in Vienna following the recent Opec meeting. The Texas-based major has evacuated staff twice from Iraq following attacks on US interests - including a rocket attack at a residential compound in Basrah last month - sparking fears that it might pull-out of the megaproject (IOD Jun.20’19).
