Genel Energy has begun the process of returning staffing levels to normal following a significant improvement in the security situation in the border region of the Kurdistan region of Iraq, according to a news release. This follows the temporary and precautionary step of withdrawing nonessential personnel from nonproducing assets.
The decision to resume full operations has been made following a close monitoring of the situations and in consultation with the Kurdistan Regional Government, Foreign and Commonwealth Office of the British Government and other authorities.
Genel’s operations in the region remain safe and secure. Production at Taq Taq and Tawke has been entirely unaffected.
