BAGHDAD - Iraq’s Oil Ministry has announced a new contract licensing round for 13 oil and gas fields and exploration blocks across Iraq.

The ministry is framing the opportunity as a follow-up to its fifth bidding round, in which six contracts were awarded in 2018 and, after many delays, signed in 2023.
