March 14, 2011Iraq’s oil exports through Iraqi-Turkish pipeline to resume in 24 hours
Kirkuk, Technicians of Iraq’s state-owned North Oil Company in Kirkuk have completed repairs on the damaged part of the Iraqi-Turkish pipeline, close to the city of Tikrit, and the crude oil exports would resume during the forthcoming 24 hours, a Company source said on Monday.
The Company’s source told Aswat al-Iraq news agency that the experimental pumping had not started after the successful repair of the damaged of the oil pipeline, but it would be completed in order to resume pumping crude oil within the forthcoming 24 hours.
“The halt in pumping oil through the said pipeline did not affect Iraq’s oil exports, because there is enough storage in Turkey’s Ceyhan Terminal on the Mediterranean.
Noteworthy is that oil exports had halted since last Wednesday through the Iraqi-Turkish pipeline due to an explosion that took place on it between Ninewa and Salahaddin provinces.
The oil-rich city of Kirkuk is 250 km to the northeast of Baghdad.
