Executives said Genel has sought a loan to finance the refinery, estimated at $510 million.

They said the Kurdish Regional Government has approved the three-stage refinery project, including the development of Taq Taq.

Genel plans to launch the first stage of refinery operations in 2011 and reach initial capacity of 40,000.

Full capacity was scheduled to take place the following year.
