Iraq resumes oil exports from Kurdish fields - RTRS
According to remarks from a spokesperson from the Iraqi oil ministry, via Reuters, on late-Thursday, the government has resumed pumping oil from fields operated by the North Oil Company through a Kurdish pipeline that runs through Turkey.
Around 70,000 barrels per day are currently being pumped through the pipeline, which has been under the control of Kurdish forces.
The Iraqi government and the Kurdistan Regional Government have had difficulty agreeing on the terms of oil exportation contracts in recent months.
