BP’s operations in Iraq have so far not been affected by the ongoing conflict in Iraq. Bob Dudley, chief executive officer, BP said this to reporters at the ongoing energy conference in Moscow.
“We are just very vigilant in Iraq. Non-essential production people have left but operations continue,” said Dudley.
This follows a statement released by UAE-based energy firm, Dana Gas, saying that its Kurdistan operations have been unaffected by the recent fighting in Iraq.
“Dana Gas’ operations in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq continue uninterrupted in light of recent events in Iraq. All our facilities and people are safe and there have been no incidents affecting our operations,” said the company.
An insurgent offensive which has threatened to breakup Iraq spread to the northwest of the country on Sunday, after fighters seized Mosul and stormed several towns on the road to Baghdad last week.
