Iraq Oil Almanac v 0.9

Learn about the nationalisation of Iraq's oil industry in the 1970s and relations with critical countries in the region such as Kuwait; or find an overview of Iraq's revenue sharing procedures and national entities such as the Petroleum Contracts and Licensing Directorate.

This is a living document that will continue to expand as articles are added by contributors in Iraq and elsewhere. If you want to make a guide to the extractive industry in your country, see our three-question, two-minute questionnaire or contact us at wikiguides(at)openoil.net
