Commenting today, Oryx Petroleum’s CEO, Michael Ebsary, stated:
“We are very proud to declare commerciality for Demir Dagh and thus achieve another key milestone on our march towards first production and appraisal and development of the field. To declare commerciality for the field less than a year after discovery is a major achievement for our company and our partners in the Hawler License Area. We expect the rapid development of Demir Dagh to provide significant benefit to our stakeholders and to the people of Iraq.”
