Nearly fifteen years since the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) passed legislation setting the foundations for an independent oil and gas sector in the region, Iraqi Kurdistan has achieved great strides, producing half a million barrels of oil and half a billion cubic feet of gas daily. However, there is tension with the federal government in Baghdad over constitutional rights and power-sharing. As Erbil and Baghdad work toward a solution, a vibrant energy sector continues to make strides in bringing these significant resources to market, offering powerful lessons for the rest of the country and the wider region. Where does the Kurdistan Region of Iraq’s energy sector go from here?

Energy security has become an overriding concern of 2022. Geopolitics has driven oil prices to 10-year highs and gas prices in Europe to record levels. Major Western economies – which last year focused almost exclusively on the energy transition – are pushing for increased domestic oil and gas production and are turning back to coal. Have energy security concerns derailed climate action? Is it possible to simultaneously focus on meeting short term demand while not losing sight of crucial net-zero goals? Are there solutions that can help solve both challenges?
