NEW YORK, Feb 6 (Reuters) - Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM.N: Quote, Profile, Research) said on Wednesday it is interested in helping to develop Iraq's huge oil reserves.

Still, the largest U.S. oil company declined to comment on whether it has registered yet to compete for contracts there.

"If the Iraqi government decides it wants international oil companies to partner with them in developing their resources, Exxon Mobil would be interested in participating," spokesman Len D'Eramo said in an e-mailed statement.

Iraq has given companies until Feb. 18 to submit documents that will qualify them to compete in tenders for service contracts to help develop its oil infrastructure.
