Southern Oil Company said Thursday that Exxon had asked for permission to share
data about the West Qurna-1 with BP PLC (BP), Eni SpA (E), Lukoil and a number
of other companies, with the aim of selling part of its stake in the project.
Exxon operates the West Qurna-1 project, which is boosting production by
applying the latest technology to an old oil field neglected during many years
of conflict and sanctions. It has raised output to nearly 400,000 barrels a day
from 244,000 barrels a day. The contract targets eventual output of 2.8 million
barrels a day.
Lukoil owns a 75% stake in the West Qurna-2 oil field project.
