Kurdistan Holds Up Norway's Oil Firm Production in Iraq

Norwegian oil firm DNO said on Monday it
would get no oil from its Tawke field in north Iraq as the Kurdistan regional
authorities have put production on hold during a review of licensing and other
procedures.

DNO's production from the Tawke field was 11,191 barrels per day in July,
DNO said.

The halt to oil production for the regional market partly affected
production in July, DNO said and added: "Based on the timing indicated by the
KRG there will be no production from Tawke in August."

DNO said its total production from Tawke and its fields in Yemen fell to
20,584 barrels per day in July from a peak of 22,545 bpd in June.
