Al RAFIDAIN for Natural Resources Development’s main role is to be a commercial bridge between Iraqi state enterprises and international oil and gas companies by providing on-the-ground technical and logistics services focused on Iraq’s petroleum exploration and production (E&P) sector. The company’s primary purpose is to provide technical and commercial services and to support E&P projects in Iraq covering technical services and logistics support. RAFIDAIN’s key mission is to support the mobilization of Iraq’s private sector in the oil and gas industry by supporting the maximization of local content and expertise as part of E&P ventures in Iraq. Rafidain’s services primarily focus on Petroleum Operations Support and on Local Research & Analysis.

Capable local content and operations support services are crucial to the success of all petroleum projects in Iraq and these are issues which are likely to challenge International Oil Companies (IOCs), investors and contractors in the country’s hydrocarbon sector. As the Iraqi Government, through the Ministry of Oil and its associated companies, continue to make successful progress to develop the country’s huge potentials, local content and operational support capabilities are likely to become an increasingly decisive factor for the ultimate success of these initiatives. In response to the recent surge of domestic and international activity in Iraq’s petroleum sector, Rafidain has invested heavily in building and acquiring necessary and highly qualified local presence, equipment, personnel and capabilities to support successful petroleum operations in Iraq. For these reasons Rafidain is positioned to grow alongside our industry as Iraq’s leading petroleum operations & logistics management company. Al-Rafidain for Natural Resources Development is one of Taha & Partners Group’s most recent companies. Taha & Partners Group joined hands with RAFIDAIN FNRD to open new shared horizons into the oil and gas industry. The importance of this venture is that a large part of Iraq’s private hands in the oil and gas sectors will rely on the mediation and expertise of companies like Al-Rafidain. With this venture, Taha & Partners Group once again leads the way as a forward looking pioneer among Iraqi corporations interested in the future success of the country.
