Erbil, July 20 (AKnews) – Iraq’s Oil Ministry announced on Wednesday that it has recruited 1,114 new employees for the state oil companies under its jurisdiction.
The successful applicants for the public sector posts are holders of specialized diplomas and degrees in the oil sector from technical oil institutes and other energy related institutions.
Iraq is aiming to increase its oil production from around 2.5 million barrels per day at present to 12 million bpd over the coming years. Such an increase requires a significant increase in skilled manpower, the ministry says.
According to the statement, the newly employed graduates will be placed in the companies belonging to the ministry including the north and south oil companies.
Although Iraq sits atop the world’s fourth largest oil reserves, three decades of successive wars and international sanctions have left the country’s infrastructure and state industries in a poor state of repair.
Federal income from oil exports currently constitutes more than 95% of Iraq's economy.
