| Iraq has began pumping more than a million barrels of crude per day to Basraâs loading terminal, a US based tanker company said. âCrude oil is being pumped to the Basra terminal at the rate of 42,000 barrels per hour, which is just slightly more than a million barrels a day,â said Mohammed Hadi, head of operations for Baghdad for Norton Lilly International. An official in Dubai from Inchcape Shipping Services said a pipeline damaged by insurgents last week had been repaired and had been pumping crude since yesterday. Key oil pipelines were damaged on Tuesday and Wednesday in separate sabotage attacks, resulting in a halt to Iraqâs oil exports from the Basra Terminal and Khor al-Amaya. |
