A senior Iraqi oil official says a deal with Royal Dutch Shell PLC to tap natural gas in southern Iraq is expected to be finalized by the government in June.
The agreement was tentatively signed last year with Iraq’s South Gas Co. taking 51 percent and Shell 49 percent.
Parliament’s oil and gas committee has criticized the deal, saying it would let the joint venture monopolize natural gas resources and influence prices.
The official spoke to The Associated Press Wednesday on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release information before the deal is finalized.
He said the deal will be submitted to the Cabinet for discussion. He couldn’t say when it would be signed.

The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
