Export framework and entitlement

• Kurdistan exports restarted on 27 September 2025 under tripartite interim agreements; crude is marketed through a nominated trader with $16/bbl compensation for production and transportation.

• Interim agreements are described as operating effectively, with no payment delays following lifted cargoes; reconciliation to full PSC entitlement began after an independent consultant review was submitted in June 2026.

• A maiden top-up cargo was lifted after SOMO allocated additional barrels; recovery of the outstanding top-up receivable began with October 2026 cargoes.

• Priorities are recovery of outstanding top-up receivables and replacing interim agreements with longer-term arrangements providing full PSC entitlement for ongoing sales.
