Iraq, seeking fresh investment to help rebuild its energy industry, announced plans to auction additional licenses to explore for oil and gas, in what would be the fourth such offering since the ouster of Saddam Hussein.
An agreement to develop the Akkas gas field, delayed from the government’s last auction in October, would be signed this month, officials said today.
