The Company announced the stricken U.S. Mobil, which is developing oil fields in the province of Basra, it's got the approval of al-Shahristani to work in the Kurdistan region in the field of oil exploration.

Abdullah said that "The oil ministry would boycott any global company you deal with the government of Erbil in the oil until they find a suitable solution between Baghdad and Erbil, because it is a violation of the policy of oil."

He says the region that the draft law, however, focus the powers of the Federal Government in the management of oil wealth at the expense of the region and the provinces, as it passed by the Council of Ministers, without due process of law.

Under the terms of a Erbil agreements, provided that he agrees on the law of oil and gas, but the region accuse the National Alliance circumvent the conventions and pass the bill without taking into consideration the situation of the Kurds.
