... For China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), it's the
company's second major development deal in Iraq, making it by far the
biggest foreign player here. Last year, CNPC won a $US3bn deal for the
Ahdeb field in Wasit province in southeastern Iraq. The firm started
work last spring. Production is set to start in three years.

A CNPC-led consortium is also one of three bidders for West Qurna 1,
another big field. A consortium led by Russia's Lukoil and another
group led by Exxon Mobil are also in the running for that field.

Apart from its deal making, CNPC has a bigger footprint here than any
other international firm, with a local office in Baghdad staffed with
Chinese employees, a rarity in a city still plagued by harrowing
violence. It and another Chinese oil company established a special
Iraq-focused joint venture, called Al-Wah -- Arabic for ‘the oasis’ --
to do work in Iraq.

"The Chinese are very aggressive here," Iraqi government spokesman Ali
al-Dabbagh said. "They are very eager to build up their presence in
Iraq's oil industry."
