  • Iraq: Thursday, April 04 - 2013 at 01:24

South Korea's Korea Gas Corp (Kogas) has said the attack by gunman earlier this week on Iraq's Akkas gas field will not delay its plans to start commercial production in September 2015, Platts has reported. Two local contractors were killed and another was kidnapped during the attack by a group of 20 gunmen late Monday on the gas field in Iraq's remote western desert. "There was no major damage to the facilities at the field, and there will be no delay to the original plans," Song Kyu-Cheol, a Kogas spokesman, told the news service. "We will take measures to protect gas fields in Iraq from attacks," he added.
