Kerkûk], Kurdistan Region 'Iraq'

Kurdistan government closes Dukan dam

Dukan: The Dukan dam in Sulêmanî province, has been closed by Kurdistan Regional Government KRG. As a result hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland in the districts of Daqooq and Haweeja are likely to no longer be viable. “If the KRG does not release the water within ten days, 400-500 thousand acres of agricultural will wilt and die,” the Director of Agriculture in Kirkuk, Mahdi Mubarak Kakaee said. Kurdish officials attributed the closure to lack of water while some media reports say that the KRG uses the dam as political pressure and as a response to the Iraqi government’s recent economic sanctions on the KRG. “The Region has promised to release water from the Dukan dam but has not stated when. If it doesn’t rain soon, large proportions of the crops will be lost,” the director of agriculture said. On the other side, the mayor of the Haweeja district, Subhan Khalaf Al-Jubory told Kirkuk Now that, “The farmers in the area are worried about the amount of water in the Dukan reserve. The heads of the tribes near Dukan asked the KRG and the governor of Kirkuk to appoint a delegate to visit the Kurdistan region to help solve the water shortage problem.” kirkuknow.com

During 2012, the Ber Bahr-1 well made an oil discovery in Jurassic aged reservoirs, although two drill stem tests over the interval failed to flow. The well was successfully side-tracked in the first half of 2013 and tested 2,100 bpd of 15 degree API oil from the Jurassic Sargelu formation. A 3D seismic survey is planned for completion by mid-year 2014. Ber Bahr-2, an appraisal well, is planned to spud in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Joining main market on 24/3/14 should liven things up.,.
