据路透社迪拜1月15日消息，伊拉克石油部周日表示，伊拉克国营的巴士拉石油公司和雪佛龙公司同意开始执行一项谅解备忘录，开发该国南部的油田。

石油部网站上发布的一份声明称，两家公司的高管签署了一份协议，其中概述了开发油田的计划，其中包括调查油藏和开采作业的研究。

Iraq's Basra Oil, Chevron agree to implement MOU to develop oil fields

Iraq’s state-run Basra Oil Company and Chevron agreed to begin implementing a memorandum of understanding to develop fields in the south of the country, the Iraqi oil ministry said on Sunday.

Executives from the two companies have signed an agreement which outlines a program to develop the fields, which includes studies to survey the reservoirs and extraction operations, said a statement posted on the oil ministry’s website.

Iraqi Oil Minister Jabar al-Luaibi announced in June that Basra Oil and another state-run company, Dhi Qar Oil, signed an MOU with Chevron.

The MOU provides for Chevron to conduct surveys and studies on oil sites and installations and help the two Iraqi companies to improve their technical, administrative and financial performance.
