Companies with contracts with the KRG
A growing list of international energy companies have signed contracts with the KRG, despite the fact that the Iraqi government in Baghdad has declared any oil deals signed with the KRG illegal.[1] A KRG official said in December 2012 that there were 45 to 50 contractors now working in the region.[2]
The following is a (non-exhaustive) list of the international firms with operations in the region, listed by country. The list was compiled from the relevant corporate websites, accessed in December 2012:
