Genel cuts outlook as Iraqi Kurdistan payments owed exceed $400 mln

LONDON, Oct (HKSE: 3366-OL.HK - news) 20 (Reuters) - Genel Energy (Other OTC: GEGYF - news) , one of the main oil producers in Iraqi Kurdistan, has cut its full-year production guidance and revenue outlook after it lowered output from its oilfields due to a lack of payments for oil exports and weak prices, it said on Tuesday.

Genel cut its 2015 production outlook by 5,000-10,000 barrels per day (bpd) to 85,000-90,0000 bpd and lowered its revenue estimate for the year to $350-375 million, assuming Brent prices of $50 per barrel.

The company said it was owed $409 million by the Kurdish Regional Government as of Sept. 30 for oil exported from its fields.

A payment of $24.5 million for crude exported in September was expected imminently, it said.
