"Most interested", as in, "it ain't gonna happen". :) I've looked into this extensively, Wiccan, as, I'm sure, has Occhi. I have NEVER come across evidence of any such thing. Elf Fina and Russia's "Lukoil" are the primary investors in oil fields in Iraq along with smaller company's from Italy and Spain. The "free trade" argument that was alluded to above is of more significance than is that which you are articulating.
But whate'er I be,
Nor I, nor any man that is,
With nothing shall be pleased till he be eased
With being nothing.
William Shakespeare - Richard II
