Outcry against 'colonial' takeover by BP of Rumaila oilfield in Iraq
Oliver August in Baghdad
an oil field in southern Rumaila
The British oil giant BP will today take control of Iraq’s biggest
oilfield in the first important energy deal since the 2003 invasion.
The move has created uproar among local politicians invoking resentful
memories of their nation’s colonial past.
The agreement to develop the Rumaila field, near the southern city of
Basra, will potentially put Iraq on the path to rivalling the riches
of Saudi Arabia within a decade — if the Government can fend off
corrupt officials, continuing terrorist attacks on pipelines and
political uncertainty.
Many Iraqi MPs say that the deal is illegal, and that the constitution
should give them, not the Oil Minister, the final say over the
country’s vast resources.
BP will develop the field, believed to hold about 17 billion barrels
of oil, with CNPC, a Chinese oil producer and supplier. Along with
other agreements to be signed this year, BP’s presence is forecast to
increase Iraqi production from 2.5 million barrels a day to 7 million
in about six years.
Ownership of the field will remain in Iraqi hands — as the Government
has been at pains to point out — with the contract giving the
companies $2 for every barrel extracted. Industry critics have branded
the return derisory, but say that BP is eager to get a foothold in
Iraq.
After years of stagnation, Iraq appears determined to exploit natural
resources to fund infrastructure improvements. It is the world’s 11th-
biggest oil producer, with the potential to climb to third place or
higher. “With an extension of the pipeline network they could reach
the [output level of] the Saudis,” said Ben Lando, of the website Iraq
Oil Report.
Saudi Arabia is the world’s second-largest producer at nine million
barrels a day, behind Russia at ten million barrels.
After years of misrule under Saddam Hussein, coupled with the effects
of UN sanctions, and the post-2003 violence, Iraq has been left as the
poorest Arab country after Yemen. Poverty has fed impatience with the
Government of Nouri al-Maliki, and driven people into the arms of
insurgents. There are fears that instead of transforming
infrastructure, Iraq’s energy wealth could be creamed off by a corrupt
elite, as in other Arab countries. Indeed, some observers wonder
whether the incessant political fighting over control of oil makes it
more of a curse for the country.
BP has not been criticised directly, but its involvement will revive
memories of past exploitation by the British. It is believed widely
that Britain created and controlled the country for the benefit of
British exporters.
This week several MPs wrote a letter of protest to Christopher
Prentice, the British Ambassador in Baghdad, saying that BP’s move was
undermining democracy by circumventing parliamentary approval of the
Rumaila deal. “BP’s willingness to sign the contract encourages the
Oil Ministry to violate the constitution,” said Jabir Khalifa Jabir,
secretary of the oil and gas committee in parliament.
Behind the protest is the desire among many politicians to get a slice
of the revenue through lucrative commissions to approve deals. The row
over Rumailah has the potential to turn into a fully fledged battle
over control of the vast revenues.
