Al-Ameedi also said that Baghdad has decided to exclude Turkish company TPAO from a consortium that won a separate deal to hunt for oil in Iraq's south earlier this year. TPAO was a minority partner in a consortium led by Kuwait Energy that won rights in May to explore 900-square-kilometer (350-square-mile) Block 9 in the southern province of Basra. Its exclusion will mean that Kuwait Energy will now control 70 percent of the project. Remaining minority partner Dragon Oil of the United Arab Emirates will hold a 30 percent stake.
