据普氏能源资讯1月6日迪拜报道,3家国际石油公司周三说,由于伊拉克库尔德地区政府(KRG)希望与国际石油公司重建信任,伊拉克库尔德地区塔克塔克油田和谢坎油田的国际合作伙伴日前从KRG收到了7500万美元的付款,这笔钱用于支付用管道通过土耳其出口的原油。
此次付款是KRG自2015年9月重新启动这样的付款以来对通过土耳其用管道出口原油的第四轮支付。
由于库尔德地区因伊斯兰国激进组织在伊拉克北部地区的叛乱和埃尔比勒和巴格达之间的紧张关系以及油价持续低迷陷入了经济、金融和人道主义危机,新的付款计划是在去年KRG和国际石油公司官员经过密集会议以后达成的。

Iraqi Kurdistan oil producers say get 4th monthly KRG payment for exports
Dubai (Platts)--6 Jan 2016 901 am EST/1401 GMT
The international partners in Iraqi Kurdistan's Taq and Shaikan oil field have received $75 million in payments from the Kurdistan Regional Government for oil exported by pipeline through Turkey, three of those companies reported Wednesday, as KRG looks to rebuild trust with international oil companies.
The payments represent the fourth round of KRG disbursements to international contractors for Kurdish crude supplied for export by pipeline via Turkey since the government re-started such payments in September 2015.
The new payment program followed intensive rounds of meetings between government and company officials last year as Kurdistan sank into an economic, financial and humanitarian crisis as a result of the Islamic State militant group's insurgency in northern Iraq and rocky relations between Erbil and Baghdad and lower oil prices.
