Kirkuk oil field - Kirkuk oil field

Japanese: キルクーク油田 - キルクークゆでん(英語表記)Kirkūk oil field
Kirkuk oil field - Kirkuk oil field
Located in northern Iraq, this is Iraq's largest oil field. It was discovered in 1927 by the Turkish Oil Company (later Iraqi Oil Company). Production began in earnest after the Kirkuk-Ceyhan Pipeline was completed in 1934 to Ceyhan on Turkey's Mediterranean coast. In 1979, oil production reached 1.42 million barrels per day. After the 2003 Iraq War, the Kirkuk-Ceyhan Pipeline was barely functioning due to terrorist attacks, and the "strategic pipeline" to the Persian Gulf has also barely functioned since the Gulf War. In 2009, the Iraqi government held a bidding for development rights in an effort to increase domestic oil production, and Royal Dutch Shell submitted a bid for the Kirkuk oil field, but they were unable to reach an agreement on the price.

イラク北部に位置する,イラク最大の油田。1927年にトルコ石油会社(のちのイラク石油会社)により発見された。1934年にトルコの地中海岸ジェイハンにいたるキルクーク・ジェイハン・パイプラインが完成してから生産が本格化。産油量は 1979年に日量 142万バーレルを記録した。2003年のイラク戦争後はテロ攻撃のためキルクーク・ジェイハン・パイプラインはほとんど機能しておらず,ペルシア湾にいたる「戦略パイプライン」も,湾岸戦争後はほとんど機能していない。2009年,イラク政府は国内油田の増産を目指し,開発権の入札を実施,キルクーク油田に対してはロイヤル・ダッチ・シェルが応札したが,金額面で合意に達することができなかった。
