Iraq Signs Oil Development Deal with Chevron

Iraq Chevron oil agreement marks a major step forward in strengthening the country’s energy sector and attracting international investment. On Tuesday, Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani supervised the signing of a strategic deal between Iraq’s Oil Ministry and U.S. energy giant Chevron.

The agreement focuses on developing key projects in Nasiriyah, including four exploration blocks. It also includes the expansion of the Balad oil field and other productive sites. Officials described the agreement as a vital boost to Iraq’s long-term energy strategy.

During the signing, Prime Minister Sudani welcomed Chevron’s delegation, led by Vice President Frank Mount. He emphasized that his government has adopted a different approach toward partnerships with major global oil companies, particularly those from the United States. He stressed that Iraq seeks not only financial investment but also the transfer of advanced energy technologies.

Sudani further highlighted the importance of sustainable practices, assuring that Iraq aims to follow environmentally responsible policies. He underlined that the government prioritizes both expanding oil output and maximizing the use of associated and natural gas. This strategy also involves adopting the latest technologies in refining and production. The Iraq Chevron oil agreement therefore reflects a broader vision that balances growth with environmental responsibility.

On his part, Frank Mount praised Iraq’s vast opportunities, pointing to the country’s rich natural and human resources. He confirmed Chevron’s readiness to deepen cooperation and build a lasting partnership with Iraq, especially now that security stability supports long-term projects. He also noted that the company will continue introducing advanced technologies and global expertise into Iraq’s energy sector.

The Iraq Chevron oil agreement signals a significant step in Iraq’s economic policy. By creating stronger ties with international firms, Iraq hopes to elevate its oil industry, increase revenues, and reinforce energy security. With both sides committed to long-term cooperation, this deal is expected to deliver benefits that extend beyond the oil fields, shaping Iraq’s future economic landscape.
