ERBIL - Two former executives at the heart of Kurdistan’s oil contracting boom are wooing investors for a venture that would seek to profit from the Kurdistan Regional Government's (KRG) financial crisis by providing a cash infusion now in exchange for a share of future oil revenues.
The executives, Todd Kozel and Ian Hannam, are looking to form a private investment fund that would purchase the rights to a portion of the so-called "capacity building payments" (CBP) that the KRG will receive from six different oil projects over the next 15 years.
