Iraq will implement seismic surveys of the marine blocks in the territorial waters, Iraqi News Agency reported, citing Minister of Oil Ihsan Abdul-Jabbar Ismail.
He said that the seismic survey work for the marine area in the Arabian Gulf is likely to show hydrocarbon prospects.
In 2019, the ministry had signed a contract for a joint study with Chinese company, CNOOC, to determine the points and locations of land and sea exploration.
