China prepares to complete a “lifetime” oil deal in Iraq

Shafak News / China recently eased quarantine measures in Wuhan, from which the outbreak of the new Corona virus began, with the lifting of the closure completely on April 8.

With President Xi Jinping visiting the city in the past days, the industrial economy across China has returned to work, although the service sector is still cautious, according to US oil price website Oil.

As for the oil sector, this means that China will return to work from where it left off, and resume its activities to explore and develop new opportunities.

There is no clearer sign of this, from last week’s China move, to award an engineering contract worth $ 203.5 million to the giant Majnoon oil field in Basra, Iraq, to ​​the unknown Chinese Petroleum and Construction Engineering Company (CPECC).

Oil Price indicates that China is racing against time to complete what has been called a “lifelong oil deal” with Iraq. With the United States preoccupied with fighting Corona, Beijing has a good reason to believe that it is open to it in Iraq, according to the site.

In particular, this means continuing to develop opportunities for oil and gas fields in geopolitical areas, such as Iraq, on the basis of renewed contracts for specific work executed by companies outside the US radar such as China Petroleum Engineering and Construction Company.

This method is also adopted by Russia, and the focus in it now is on Iraq and Iran, the two countries that are located in the middle of the Middle East and are essential to China’s multi-generational strategy of “one belt, one path”, and Russia’s continuous attempt to confiscate the entire Middle East.  

And before the United States became aware that China was working covertly with Russia to save money, Iraqi politicians offered China a tremendously profitable deal to develop the Majnoon field, according to the article.

Specifically, the terms of the deal stipulate that China will obtain a 25-year contract, which will enter into force two years after the date of signature. This allows China, according to Oil Price, to generate more profits on average annually and less upfront investment.

At the end of 2017, Iraq began taking over the management of the Majnoon field from the Dutch-British Shell Company, which decided to withdraw from it by mutual consent. The handover process ended in March   2018. Basra State Oil Company took over the operations in the field after the withdrawal of Shell, which Baghdad chose in 2009 to develop the field, which has an estimated reserve of 12.58 billion barrels. 

Iraq announced plans to increase production in the Majnoon field to 450,000 bpd in 2021.
