Chevron to resume oil drilling operations in Kurdistan

US oil company Chevron said on Tuesday that it resumed drilling operations in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.

"Chevron can confirm that it resumed its activities in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq and resumed drilling operations in our field Sarta 3," said Sally Jones, a spokeswoman for the company in a statement read by "Economy News".

The company temporarily suspended operations in the region in October after a referendum on independence sparked tensions between Baghdad and the quasi-independent provincial government.

Before that, Chevron dug in September an oil well in its square in Kurdistan after a two-year hiatus with the restoration of confidence in the region despite an international dispute over the referendum plan for the independence of the region.
