Iraq's oil marketing company, SOMO, has a new director general — the latest in a series of oil sector leadership changes.
Ali Nazar al-Shatari, who has held multiple deputy DG positions at SOMO, has replaced Khudair Abbas Abed, according to a Feb. 27 order seen by Iraq Oil Report, which was also confirmed by two oil sector officials. Abed replaced Ammar al-Anbagi less than a year ago.
