TotalEnergies’ staff return to Iraq after project dispute, sources say

(Reuters) – Foreign staff at French oil major TotalEnergies have returned to Iraq after disputes with Baghdad over a $27 billion cluster of major energy projects prompted their exit, two sources told Reuters on Friday.

The firm had asked its foreign staff to leave the country and local employees to work from home, sources told Reuters this week, as it struggles to resolve differences with Baghdad.
