Interim Iraq Oil Chief to Seek Investors

The U.S. government appointed al-Ghadhban to oversee the revival of Iraqi production. He answers to an advisory board headed by Philip Carroll, a former chief executive of Shell Oil Co.

Many U.S. officials have long sought to weaken OPEC, which they see as a threat to America's energy security. Al-Ghadhban appears to share some of their skepticism, which he emphasized with what he called "a small complaint" about OPEC.
