据路透社9月26日新加坡报道称，一名高级官员周三表示，伊拉克国有石油公司SOMO正考虑收购亚洲的石油储备，并且在寻求扩大其在该地区的立足点时，愿意就更多的利润分享协议展开讨论。
SOMO原油和天然气营销部门负责人Ali Nazar Faeq Al-Shatari在阿格斯原油论坛间隙表示，“我们期待收购储罐，为我们在亚洲这一主要市场获得设备。”
他说：“所以任何其他利益分享协议或交易，只要符合这些目的，我们都可以研究它，”并并补充称，这些交易不应与现有协议产生利益冲突。
SOMO已与卢克石油的贸易子公司Litasco组建了一家合资公司，并已开始向中国合作伙伴振华石油供应巴士拉原油，预计将会很快成立合资公司。
