 An upcoming meeting between Erbil and Baghdad to discuss the mechanism for implementing the salary agreement is scheduled for tomorrow.

Technical delegations representing the Kurdistan Regional Government and the federal government are scheduled to hold their first meeting in Baghdad tomorrow, Tuesday, to agree on a mechanism for implementing the agreement signed between them regarding oil exports, salaries, and local revenues. The aim is to reach an understanding and disburse salaries and financial dues to the region.

On Monday, Al-Jabal platform learned from a government source details of a report prepared by the joint committee between the Iraqi Ministry of Oil and the State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO), which will be submitted to the Ministry of Oil and Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani. The report stated that "the Kurdistan Region currently has an estimated production capacity of less than 81,000 barrels of oil per day."

Last Thursday, a joint technical committee from the Iraqi Ministry of Oil and the State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO) visited Erbil for four days, visiting the fields that were attacked by drones. The committee also prepared its own report on procedures for resuming oil exports.

The committee stated in its report: "Since the 16th of this month, oil production capacity in the Kurdistan Region has decreased to 81,000 barrels per day due to drone attacks."

One of the points of agreement between Erbil and Baghdad was the allocation of 50,000 barrels of oil per day to meet the region's domestic needs. The Kurdistan Region's production capacity was 280,000 barrels per day before the drone attacks.

Operations at five oil fields have now been halted following drone attacks targeting Kurdistan's energy infrastructure in recent weeks, while operations at other fields have been restricted for security reasons.  link
