This was land abandoned by Iraq in 2014 when they retreated from ISIS. From the Washington Post:

Iraq has demanded that Kurdistan allow its forces to return to positions it held before the war against Islamic State militants. Kurdish forces took control of military bases and oil fields around Kirkuk after Iraqi forces collapsed in the face of the Islamic State’s 2014 advance.
