Under the new oil agreement Iraq only gets 20% of their oil

Statoil will eventually hold 18.75 percent of the consortium, with Lukoil holding 56.25 percent and a partner from the Iraqi state holding the remainder, said Ola Aanestad, a spokesman for Statoil.

The new arrangement was “more balanced from Statoil’s point of view,” Mr. Aanestad said.
