Iraqi oil minister invited Polish companies to a meeting. Grupa Lotos, PKN Orlen and PGNiG may get contracts. They may be joined by Kulczyk group.

Yesterday, a meeting was held with Hussein Al-Shahristani, the Iraqi oil minister. Polish biggest fuel companies took part in the meeting, including PKN Orlen, Grupa Lotos, PGNiG and Kulczyk Investment House, the latter being a surprise. Kulczyk group has stakes in Ophir Energy and Loon Energy which look for oil on several continents. Petrolinvest, an oil company founded by Ryszard Krauze, was not present at the meeting.

“We are not interested in this region. We focus on Kazakhstan where we are intensively working”, Pawel Gricuk, Petrolinvest deputy CEO said.
