Hess Corp., the New York-based oil company, is barred from competing in Iraq’s fourth licensing round for energy contracts, Iraqi Kurdish lawmaker Bayazid Hasan said, calling the Oil Ministry’s decision unwarranted.
“I don’t think there’s any justification for this exclusion,” which “reflects the policy of double standards,” Hasan said today in a phone interview from Baghdad.
