Oil Majors Pull Staff From Iraq Amid Fears of Retaliation by Iran

  • BP, TotalEnergies, and Eni evacuated foreign staff from Iraqi oilfields in June 2025 amid fears of Iranian retaliation targeting energy infrastructure.
  • The evacuations followed US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites and Israel's recent attacks on Iran, raising concerns of escalating regional hostilities spilling into Iraq.
  • Rockets landed near the Kawergosk refinery northwest of Erbil, causing minor material damage and a quickly contained fire, while Iraqi airspace became a corridor for missile exchanges.
  • At least 4,860 foreign oil workers, including 1,700 from BP and 1,000 from TotalEnergies, have left, as experts warn that technical personnel losses could disrupt Iraq's oil sector and economy.
  • Despite ongoing operations maintaining a 3.32 million barrels per day export rate, officials warn that further conflict escalation may force more withdrawals and threaten regional energy stability.
