TAQA says work at Atrush unaffectedThe escalating conflict in Iraq does not appear to have affected the operations of UAE businesses in the Kurdish region in the north of the country.
“We have not evacuated staff,” said a spokesman for Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (Taqa), which has extensive oil and gas interests in the region.
“Our operations at the Atrush block and offices in Erbil remain unaffected by the events. We are monitoring the security situation in Iraq together with our government partners.”
Sharjah’s Dana Gas yesterday said that its operations in the Kurdish region were “uninterrupted in light of recent events in Iraq.
“All our facilities and people are safe and there have been no incidents affecting our operations.”
