Iraqi President Jalal Talabani said on Wednesday he wants to see French oil companies investing on his country and would grant oil tycoon Total development contracts for two big oil fields at an auction next month. "We might favour a French bid whatever the figures. Don't fear this auction ... the figures aren't everything. We want to see Total work in our oil fields", Talabani said in Paris during a meeting with French businessmen.
Total confirmed it will bid for the Majnoon and West Qurna oil fields, two of 10 up to be auctioned in December.
