U.S. oil major ConocoPhillips (COP) and Russian oil firm OAO
Lukoil Holdings (LKOH.RS) have agreed to accept the terms set by
Iraq to develop the West Qurna-1 field, a Lukoil spokesman said
Tuesday.
In a joint bid, the two companies have accepted the $1.90 a
barrel fee that Iraq's Oil Ministry initially proposed in an
auction in June for the West Qurna field.
A new licensing round is planned for later this year.
West Qurna-1 has proven crude oil reserves of 8.6 billion
barrels.
