The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) announced on Wednesday the resumption of operations by several foreign oil companies in the region.

KRG Spokesperson Peshwa Hawrami stated in a press release received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA): “HKN has resumed production at a rate of 7,000 barrels per day and will resume production at the Atrush field next Sunday.”

He added: “Gulf Keystone began production today at the Leishkan field, while DNO will resume production at the Tawke and Fishkhabur fields next Friday.”

He continued: “Hunt Oil will resume its operations on July 8th.”

This measure was essential to ensure the safe continuation of production.”
