Iraq invites companies to bid on gas development projects
Iraq's Oil Ministry is inviting local and international oil companies to bid for contracts to help develop its oil and gas fields, including one in a mostly Sunni area of western Iraq.
Companies interested in submitting a detailed design, which would include a procurement of all equipment and required materials for the western province's Akkas gas field, must meet the ministry's deadline of April 24, the ministry said on its Web site.
The Akkas gas field is situated in Iraq's former Sunni insurgent stronghold of Anbar, 115 kilometers (70 miles) west of Baghdad, and has an estimated reserves of more than 2.15 trillion cubic feet (60 billion cubic meters).
