BASRA: The head of Iraq’s Basra Oil Co. told Reuters on Wednesday that he expects Qatar to acquire a 20-25 percent stake in TotalEnergies’ $27 billion cluster of energy projects in the country, with the Baghdad government aiming to hold around 40 percent.
A major investment in the projects by a Gulf state would be an important win for Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed al-Sudani, who took office last October following more than a year of political turmoil. It would also be considered a step towards countering Iranian influence.
