After more than a year of controversy and suspension of work due to mixing water with oil, the Turkish company finally stopped oil production in the field (Chia Surkh) in Garmian, on the order of the Ministry of Natural Resources.
This is the oldest field in the region, which is located within the jurisdiction of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK). Before the shutdown, the field produced 1,500 to 2,000 barrels of oil per day.
