After World War I, the oil companies carved up Iraq. Shell, BP, Exxon and Total all had stakes in the Iraq Petroleum Company. They paid pennies for each barrel of oil and built a pipeline to take it away.



In 1972 the Iraqis nationalised the industry and threw the foreigners out. From then on Western oil companies could only dream of Iraq’s oil reserves - the second largest in the world.



With Saddam Hussein came decades of war followed by sanctions and Iraq’s massive reserves lay largely untouched. But with Hussein’s regime under threat, at last there was a chance to get back in.
