Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) is in talks with BP (NYSE:BP), Shell (NYSE:RDS.A), Lukoil, CNPC and Eni (NYSE:E) about selling its stake in the West Qurna-1 oilfield in southern Iraq, a senior government spokesman says. Exxon expects to complete a sale of the "super-giant oilfield" by the end of December. It's getting out so it can concentrate on exploration projects in Kurdistan, which is in a dispute with Baghdad over the region's energy resources.
