West Qurna 2 is an oil field located in Iraq that serves as a significant site for hydrocarbon extraction. Recent developments include an expansion project aimed at increasing production capacity to over one million barrels per day. The site is sometimes referred to in reports as West Kernetu.
“Basra Oil Company... have entered into negotiations with America's Chevron to take over the project. Chevron is in the first position to enter negotiations, take it over.”
“we would probably see the West Kerna 2 project expand to over a million barrels a day in a very short period of time, probably no more than 5 years.”
