Russia is owed billions of dollars (experts put the figure at approximately (US) $8 billion) by Iraq for past arms deliveries, and has a strong interest in Iraqi oil development. This includes a $3.7 billion, 23-year deal to rehabilitate Iraqi oilfields, particularly the 11-15 billion barrel West Qurna field (located west of Basra near the Rumaila field).
