Iraqi Oil Shipments to Turkey Stopped Today
Iraqi oil shipments to the Turkish port of Ceyhan have stopped today pending a report on the condition of the pipeline.
Exports from Kirkuk had restarted Saturday after months of no activity, and Iraq had managed to pump around 250,000 barrels a day of Kirkuk oil to the Turkish port. The shipments from Iraq's North Oil Company were the first in months due to militant attacks on oil facilities.
The North Oil Company started pumping oil to Ceyhan as a test to check the condition of the pipelines and they pumped all the crude oil stored for that reason late Tuesday. There was no problem at all and we are waiting for the reports.
The North Oil Co. did not say when oil pumping would resume.
Iraq currently produces around 250,000 barrels a day in the north.
