New Iraq pipeline to export oil via Turkey port

BAGHDAD, Iraq, November 28, 2017

Iraq plans to build a new pipeline from Baiji to Fishkabur, enabling Kirkuk oil to be exported again from Turkey’s Ceyhan port, the country’s Oil Ministry said.

Kirkuk’s oil was previously being exported via the Kurdistan Regional Government’s (KRG) pipeline to Ceyhan, but this has been on hold since Baghdad took control of the area, reported Iraq Business News.

Plans to restore Baghdad’s existing oil pipeline to Turkey, which was badly damaged by militants in 2014, have been scrapped, according to the report.
