Chevron US drilling the first exploratory well in Kurdistan

The US oil company Chevron has dug its first exploratory wells in the Kurdistan region of Iraq this month after a two-year suspension in reference to its confidence in the region despite an international dispute over a plan to hold a referendum on the independence of the region.
Chevron, the second largest US oil and gas company, dug the well in the Sarta concession north of the provincial capital April, the first of its kind since the second half of 2015, two sources in the sector said.
A spokeswoman for the company that “Chevron continues its exploration activities in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq,” without elaborating in detail.
