The seminar held by the Iraqi Forum of Intellectuals and Academics - and which I talked about last week - had a good presentation about Iraq’s upstream oil developments. It was done by Faleh Alkhayat, former director-general of planning in the Ministry of Oil, who highlighted developments in the southern upstream sector since the famous - or infamous - bid rounds of 2009 and sale of Iraqi oil fields to international oil companies (IOCs).
