Iraq’s Oil Ministry is initiating legal action against international oil companies operating in the Kurdistan region — part of an escalating effort to implement the Federal Supreme Court’s landmark decision to invalidate the Kurdistan Regional Government’s independent oil sector.Multiple oil companies received a letter summoning them to appear at the Commercial Court in Baghdad on June 5, according to three Kurdistan-focused industry officials; and Alaa al-Yassiri, the director general of the federal Oil Ministry’s marketing company (SOMO), told Parliament on Tuesday that Baghdad is also planning to bring international lawsuits.
