Iraq's state-run North Oil Company (NOC) has begun testing operations at its Avana and Bai Hassan oilfields in Kirkuk to increase crude supply for domestic refineries, Iraqi officials said on Wednesday.
"We have started testing operations at Avana and Bai Hassan oilfields to prepare initial pumping of more than 50,000 barrels per day," two NOC oil officials said.
