Oct. 10, 2011 - PRLog -- Iraq has the fourth largest oil reserves in the world exporting approximately 96% for the country’s economy, in 2010 100’s of contracts were signed to develop Iraq’s oil and gas infrastructure and increase oil production. Over the last year contract holders have implemented intense geological surveying, drilling, well rehabilitation, security tightening and planning to develop Iraq’s oil and gas fields.  

Iraq Mega projects 2011 will be taking place from the 18-20 October 2011 at the Ritz Carlton, Istanbul and will bring together senior Iraqi professionals, contract holders and the service industry themselves to discuss the progress made since the signing of the contracts, the challenges they have overcome and problems faced moving forward.
