Iraq’s state-run Basra Oil Co. and Chevron (NYSE: CVX) agreed to begin implementing a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to develop fields in the south of the country, the Iraqi oil ministry said on Aug. 19.
Executives from the two companies have signed an agreement which outlines a program to develop the fields, which includes studies to survey the reservoirs and extraction operations, said a statement posted on the oil ministry’s website.
Iraqi Oil Minister Jabar al-Luaibi announced in June that Basra Oil and another state-run company, Dhi Qar Oil, signed an MOU with Chevron.
The MOU provides for Chevron to conduct surveys and studies on oil sites and installations and help the two Iraqi companies to improve their technical, administrative and financial performance.
