Its core business activity centers on the development and operation of the Shaikan oil field, one of the largest onshore discoveries in the region, alongside ongoing appraisal and exploration in adjacent blocks.

The company achieved a major milestone in 2009 with the discovery of the Shaikan field and commenced early production in 2014. Since then, Gulf Keystone has steadily ramped up output through phased drilling programs, deploying modern reservoir-management techniques and working closely with regional authorities. Beyond Shaikan, the company continues to evaluate additional acreage for potential appraisal wells and strategically plans further development activities in line with demand forecasts and infrastructure capacity.

Gulf Keystone’s operations encompass the full upstream value chain, including seismic surveying, appraisal drilling, field development planning, and production optimization. It maintains strong technical partnerships with international service providers to enhance recovery rates and ensure operational safety and environmental compliance. Production is exported via pipeline networks that link the Kurdistan region to global markets, underscoring the company’s role in supporting regional energy supply.

Governed by a board of directors and an executive management team with extensive oil and gas experience, Gulf Keystone Petroleum emphasizes disciplined capital management and sustainable operations. The company maintains offices in Jersey and Erbil, where its local team coordinates field operations and liaises with government stakeholders. With a focused asset base and a clear development strategy, Gulf Keystone aims to unlock additional value in the Kurdistan region while adhering to international best practices.
