AFP:
Energy firm Heritage Oil said on Wednesday it has made a major gas find in Iraq's autonomous region of Kurdistan that is among the largest ever in the country.
"The discovery of a major gas field of up to 12.3 trillion cubic feet (348 billion cubic metres) in-place with exceptional flow rates makes this one of the largest gas fields to be discovered in Iraq," a statement said.
...
Heritage, which was established in Canada and is listed in London and Toronto, said the field, located in the northeast of energy-rich and semi-autonomous Kurdistan, was called "Miran."
...
This is good news for the Kurds in Iraq. I suspect they can find a ready market for the gas in Iraq and Turkey. It will help to make the area more self sufficient.
