ConocoPhillips Acquires 42% Stake in BP’s Kirkuk Oil Project

A 42% interest in a BP unit tasked with redeveloping northern Iraq’s vast Kirkuk oil fields has been purchased by ConocoPhillips. The U.S. energy giant confirmed the agreement on Friday, stepping into a strategic contract that targets the rehabilitation of fields currently pumping crude in the volatile northern region.

The deal involves BP Energy Company of Kirkuk, the entity holding the rights to manage the redevelopment project alongside state-owned North Oil and North Gas companies. While the financial terms of the transaction remain undisclosed, ConocoPhillips frames the investment as a commitment to boosting output from these established assets.

BP finalized the underlying government contract last year, projecting an initial production phase exceeding 3 billion barrels of oil equivalent. Beyond the immediate rehabilitation work, the agreement leaves room for further exploration efforts. BP representatives described the partnership as a move toward disciplined capital allocation, allowing the U.K.-based firm to share the operational and financial weight of one of Iraq’s most significant energy developments.
