US EditionOil Majors Pull Staff From Iraq Amid Fears of Retaliation by Iran
- BP, TotalEnergies, and Eni have pulled some of their expatriate employees out of oilfields in southern Iraq on Monday as a precaution due to rising regional instability.
- The evacuations followed US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites and rising conflict between Iran and Israel, prompting fears the violence could spill into Iraq.
- Oil expert Haider Al-Battat warned that losing foreign technical personnel, especially in gas fields, risks severe operational disruption and economic harm for Iraq.
- A state-run Basra Oil Company statement said Eni reduced staff from 260 to 90, TotalEnergies evacuated 60% of personnel, and BP relocated some staff as a precaution.
- These developments suggest continuing instability poses risks to Iraq's oil sector and could delay economic recovery without government efforts to avoid broader conflict.
