Turkey, Iraq Reportedly Seek Broad Energy Pact After Pipeline Deal Expires

Turkey aims to sign an energy cooperation agreement with Iraq soon after talks with Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi in Ankara, multiple news outlets reported, citing Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan's comments on Tuesday.The development comes even as the two countries did not extend a key pipeline accord that expired this week.Erdogan, speaking at a joint news conference following a signing ceremony, reportedly said Turkey's state-owned oil and gas company TPAO would operate in Iraq's Kirkuk oilfield alongside BP (BP), marking a new phase in bilateral energy ties.The ceremony had reportedly been expected to include an agreement extending the decades-old Kirkuk-Ceyhan crude oil pipeline accord for another year. The agreement, which governs exports through the pipeline, officially expired on Monday without renewal.After the two sides signed three cooperation agreements in other areas, Erdogan said additional accords were expected. However, ministers briefly conferred with him on stage before he and al-Zaidi proceeded directly to their remarks without signing further documents, Reuters reported.Turkish Energy Minister Alparslan Bayraktar later said in a post on X that TPAO had acquired a 15% stake in BP Energy Company of Kirkuk, enabling the Turkish company to operate in the Kirkuk oilfield.Bayraktar said TPAO would work with BPECKL's partners to develop an estimated 3 billion barrels of reserves at the field.BP and the Iraqi and Turkish Ministries of Foreign Affairs did not immediately respond to a request for comment from.
