    Anbar Governor Ali Farhan announced on Wednesday, the discovery of several new oil wells in Nukhaib and Tharthar, and while he confirmed the start of actual steps to refer phosphate fields to investment, he explained the mechanism of distributing 1000 job grades in the province.

    Farhan told the Iraqi News Agency (INA), that "addressing the problem of desertification in the province requires an international effort and support from the central government," noting that "Al-Anbar differs from other provinces by virtue of its vast desert areas."

    Regarding the natural resources in Anbar, Farhan stressed that "the local government in Anbar worked to prepare the atmosphere for oil exploration and provided the security effort for companies in the province," expressing his hope that "the Ministry of Oil will take steps to complete oil explorations after canceling the contract with the Korean company."

    He stressed, "The local government is following up the exploration file with the Ministry of Oil and Saudi-American companies in partnership," noting that "many new oil wells have been discovered in Nukhaib and Tharthar, and the Ministry of Oil has the numbers for the new explored fields."

    Farhan continued, "The province contains large quantities of gas of an important quality," expressing his hope to "invest natural resources in the province to improve the economic reality and the reality of electricity through the investment of gas and oil fields."

    He pointed out that "the local government in the province has taken actual steps to refer the phosphate fields to investment."
