Kurds have created a real chance to make income for themselves by selling their own oil in Iraq and they will probably make more money by selling their own gas, Tony Hayward, the head of Genel Energy, one of the largest companies operating in northern Iraq’s Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). 

“Thanks to the changing discourse of the Baghdad government, Kurds have caught a real opportunity to create their own income by selling their own oil in Iraq,” Hayward said, adding that Kurds are unlikely to wait for the approval of the central Iraqi government to sell their own gas, as they selling oil.
