For China, the location of the Mansuriya gas field fits perfectly into the vast network of oil and gas sites in Iraq.
The awarding last week of the exploration and production E&P contract for Iraq ’s second biggest gas field to a Chinese consortium comprising two of its relatively unknown firms rounds off a spectacular month of success for Beijing in tightening its hold over Baghdad. It follows a slew of new ‘fifth-plus’ and sixth oil and gas licensing concessions its companies won in the past two weeks across the country, from north to south and from east to west.
For China, such a broader conflict in tandem with Russia’s current or next conflict in eastern Europe, would make it more difficult for the U.S. and its NATO allies to react to a simultaneous invasion of Taiwan. Having said this, China also wants to secure its hold over Iraq in order to use its huge and relatively untapped oil reserves to power its economic growth into the future.
