Iraq receives one bid for Maysan oilfields

BAGHDAD, June 30 (Reuters) - Iraq's Oil Ministry said on Tuesday it had received one bid from international energy companies for the three fields making up the 2.5-billion barrel Maysan oilfield complex.

The field was one of six oilfields and two gas fields on offer in Iraq's first auction of major oil contracts since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion.

The consortium which entered a bid for Maysan was led by China's CNOOC (0883.HK), with Sinochem (600500.SS). (Reporting by Missy Ryan; Editing by Michael Christie)
