Genel Energy PLC - London-based oil producer with assets in Somaliland, Morocco and Iraq’s Kurdistan region - Notes update by DNO ASA concerning the Tawke field in Kurdistan, in which Genel has a 25% working interest. DNO, the Tawke production sharing agreement’s operator, has partially restarted operations there and is selling its oil production entitlement share to local companies. News follows a four-month shut-in due to the Iran-Turkey Pipeline export route closing. The restart was partly for well integrity and reservoir tests, but Genel says DNO has also continued producing ‘to meet strong demand.’ Peshkabir field, also within the Tawke licence area, is still shut in. Tawke’s average output is currently around 40,000 barrels per day. Prices average just over 50% of pre-closure levels.
