| [KurdPress] The head of the Kirkuk Provincial Council, Rebwar Talabani, has said that the only way to export Kirkuk oil is via pipelines through the Kurdistan Region. Once a decision is made to utilize this route, they can sell 400,000 barrels per day. Talabani revealed that they are trying to restart official sales of Kirkuk oil, “The previous pipeline through which Kirkuk oil was sold is under Islamic State control. The only way to export and sell Kirkuk oil is through the Kurdistan Region.” He continued, “Kirkuk has the ability to sell 400,000 oil barrels per day.” Baghdad has agreed to allow Kirkuk’s oil to be piped through Kurdistan as there is no alternative route, and the federal government needs to increase overall oil revenues. |
