IPC Today
IPC has ceased operations, but the company "Iraq Petroleum Company" still remains extant as a name on paper, and one of its surviving associated companies - Abu Dhabi Petroleum Company (ADPC), formerly Petroleum Development (Trucial Coast) Ltd - also continues with the original shareholding intact. ADPC still holds 40% of the onshore concession in Abu Dhabi, with the majority 60% held by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) on behalf of the Abu Dhabi Government. Operations are carried out by the local operating company - The Abu Dhabi Company for Onshore Oil Operations (ADCO) - jointly owned by ADNOC, and the ADPC shareholders : BP, Royal Dutch Shell, ExxonMobil, Total S.A. and Partex; reflecting the historical make-up of the Iraq Petroleum Company. The current Abu Dhabi onshore oil concession is due to expire in January 2014.

Famous quotes containing the word today:
“I rather think the cinema will die. Look at the energy being exerted to revive it—yesterday it was color, today three dimensions. I don’t give it forty years more. Witness the decline of conversation. Only the Irish have remained incomparable conversationalists, maybe because technical progress has passed them by.”
—Orson Welles (1915–1984)
