Iraq still in talks with Turkey, KRG over resuming Kirkuk oil exports – state newspaper

BAGHDAD, July 2 : Iraq is still in talks with Turkey and Kurdish regional authorities to resume Kirkuk oil exports through the Ceyhan port, Iraqi Oil Minister Jabar Al-Luaibi told state-run newspaper Al-Sabah on Monday.
“The decision to restart exports depends on the results of the talks,” Luaibi was quoted by Al-Sabah as saying.
Production from Iraq’s Kirkuk oilfields is currently at 220,000 barrels per day, which is entirely diverted to local refineries, Luaibi said. (Reporting by Ahmed Rasheed; Editing by Toby Chopra)
