Kurdish oil exports

Published August 20, 2014

DUHOK: The capacity of Iraqi Kurdistan’s independent oil pipeline will almost double to at least 200,000 barrels per day by the end of this month, helping the semi-autonomous region increase exports and revenue, industry sources and officials said.

Oil revenues are a lifeline for the Kurdish Re­­gional Government in northern Iraq.

“Work to increase the capacity will probably be completed by the end of this month. Once it is completed, pumping can in­­crease to up to 220,000 barrels per day,” one Turkish official told Reuters.
