PARIS - TotalEnergies is still talking with Baghdad over a $27 billion cluster of major energy projects in Iraq, the French energy major's chairman and chief executive Patrick Pouyanne said on Wednesday.

TotalEnergies agreed in 2021 to build four oil, gas and renewables projects with an initial investment of $10 billion in southern Iraq over 25 years.

Those projects have seen several setbacks amid disputes between Iraqi politicians over its terms.
