雪佛龙已恢复伊拉克库尔德地区石油钻探

中国石化新闻网讯 据道琼斯2月20日消息，雪佛龙公司周一称，公司已经恢复在伊拉克库尔德斯坦的钻探，这一迹象或表明伊拉克政府与该半自治区政府之间的紧张关系正在缓和。

雪佛龙公司一名发言人告诉《华尔街日报》：“我们已经重启旗下Sarta 3油田的钻探工作。”

去年10月份雪佛龙暂停了伊拉克库尔德地区的钻探工作，在此之前，伊拉克军队进入基尔库克，并击溃了实际已吞并该市及该地区正式边境外围多个油田的库尔德武装力量。

Chevron Says It Has Resumed Oil Drilling in Iraqi Kurdistan

Chevron Corp. (CVX) said Monday that it has resumed drilling in Iraqi Kurdistan, in a sign that tensions between Baghdad and the semiautonomous area's government are easing.

"We have restarted drilling operations at our Sarta 3 field," a spokeswoman for the U.S. major told the Wall Street Journal.

Chevron suspended drilling in Iraqi Kurdistan in October after Iraqi forces moved into Kirkuk, routing Kurdish forces who had effectively annexed the city and its oil fields, which lie outside the region's formal boundaries.
