Iraq resumes Kurdish oil exports to Turkey after 2-1/2-year halt

On September 27, Iraq restarted shipments of crude oil from its Kurdistan region to Turkey, ending a hiatus that had lasted more than two and a half years.
The resumption followed a trilateral deal involving Iraq’s central government, the Kurdistan Regional authorities, and international oil companies, resolving previous legal and technical disagreements.
Crude oil started flowing at 6 a.m. local time through the Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline, with an initial daily volume expected to range from 180,000 to 190,000 barrels destined for Turkey's Ceyhan port.
Iraq's OPEC delegate Mohammed al-Najjar said the restart could raise exports close to 3.6 million barrels per day, with operations starting smoothly and no technical problems recorded.
The deal is expected to stabilize relations between Baghdad and Erbil, strengthen national wealth management, and bring economic benefits welcomed by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
