About Us
Welcome to WesternZagros
WesternZagros is an international natural resources company engaged in acquiring properties and exploring for, developing and producing crude oil and natural gas. WesternZagros, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, holds a Production Sharing Contract ("PSC") with the Kurdistan Regional Government in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
WesternZagros’ primary focus is the development and exploration of its PSC lands. The Company’s objective is to be recognized, through consistently superior business performance and operations excellence, as one of the leading independent oil and gas companies active in Iraq.
The Kurdistan Region of Iraq has been both under-explored and under-developed relative to the rest of Iraq and it provides an early stage opportunity on trend with several large fields, including the Kirkuk field.
In executing its strategy, WesternZagros’ priority is to recruit and retain local personnel and to actively participate in, and contribute to, community development projects.
The KRG has received an expert independent legal opinion that confirms the KRG's constitutional authority to manage the Kurdistan Region's oil and gas resources. (Download PDF of Legal Opinion)
