Oil giants back in Iraq
Nearly four decades after the four biggest Western oil companies were expelled from Iraq by Saddam Hussein, they are negotiating their return. By the end of the month, Royal Dutch Shell, BP, Exxon Mobil and Total will sign agreements with the Baghdad government, Iraq's first with big Western oil firms since the US-led invasion in 2003.

The private Dallas oil company said in a press release it signed a production sharing contract, along with a company called Impulse Energy Corp., to explore and drill for oil in the northern area of Iraq that’s home to Kurdish people.
