Abstract:
The oil sector is one of the important and vital sectors that play amajor role in the Iraqi economy. It accounts for 46.95% of thecontribution to the GDP for 2013. This importance depends on therise and fall in oil prices and the relative importance of othereconomic sectors. Iraq occupies an important position In the field ofoil production and export as it comes in seventh place in terms ofproduction and center and the fourth in terms of export according toOPEC, The costs of production per barrel vary from state to statebased on the degree of proximity and after crude oil from the surfaceof the earth, Iraq is one of the countries whose oil ores close to thesurface of the earth, which makes the cost of production per barrel isvery low compared to a number of producing countries as the cost ofproduction In previous years less than (2) dollars per barrel. Becauseof the wars fought by Iraq and the economic blockade of 1991 tochange the system in 2003 deteriorated extractive industrysignificantly, which called on the Iraqi government to contract withforeign companies for the development of this industry In 2009contracted the Iraqi government through the Southern Oil Companywith specialized international companies Such as British Bp and ENIItalian and American EXXONMOBIL and other companies, andthese companies adopt advanced systems in recording the costs ofthe oil industry such as SAB system and IDEAS system andMaxiSan system and the consequent South Oil Company to adaptthese outputs to ensure their compatibility with the unifiedaccounting system in the calculation of production costs. The issueof production costs is of great importance to those involved in the oilsector and officials in the Iraqi state and researchers, especially since2010 after contracting with foreign companies in the field ofdevelopment of oil fields for the purpose of increasing productioncapacities. In the opinion of those interested in this area that thesecosts will be high because of the licensing rounds in comparison tothe costs in previous periods and accordingly some researchersbelieve that licensing rounds are a waste of economic resources andthe loss of the Iraqi economy, while others believe that the rise incosts is limited to Short term while these costs are low in the longrun. We will try to highlight the actual costs of oil production byexamining the production volume and production costs of the SouthOil Company, which is one of the most important nationalcompanies producing crude oil in Iraq.
