Oil companies are resuming operations in Iraqi Kurdistan following a pause linked to the recent Middle East conflict. Gulf Keystone is leading this return to production, according to a spokesperson for the region’s government. The companies had previously halted activities due to regional instability. The resumption signals a potential stabilization of the energy sector in the autonomous region. While the extent of the restart and future production levels remain unclear, the move indicates a cautious return to normalcy. This development could have implications for Iraq’s overall oil output and regional energy markets.
