EXXON LIFTS LID ON KURDISTAN PLANS
EXXON Mobil, led by chief executive Rex Tillerson (pictured), has finally disclosed its plans to explore for oil in Iraq’s Kurdistan. The news, in the company’s annual report, broke months of silence over the investment. “Exploration and production activities in the Kurdistan region of Iraq are governed by production-sharing contracts negotiated with the regional government of Kurdistan in 2011,” Exxon said.
