Iraqi Kurdistan Ships Oil Out of Turkish Port
Iraqi Kurdistan has shipped 10 million barrels of oil from the Turkish port of Ceyhan since May, Turkish Energy Minister Taner Yildiz said, as the autonomous region employs new tactics to establish independent oil sales in defiance of Baghdad.
Yildiz also said the 13th tanker had been shipped from the autonomous region, adding that the flow from northern Iraq to Turkey had increased to 180,000 barrels per day.
