The Iraqi oil ministry is offering seven blocks that are expected to contain mainly natural gas, while the remaining five blocks are containing crude oil, Abdul Kareem Luaiby told a news conference.
Iraq, which sits on the world's third largest oil reserves, has held three successful bidding rounds in the last few years to auction off 15 of the country's most prized oil and gas fields.
