ANKARA: The flow of Iraqi crude oil via pipeline to Turkey's Mediterranean coast resumed on early Friday after a halt due to a leak on Tuesday, a Turkish official told Reuters.
The leak occurred late on Monday on the Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline, which carries some 350,000 barrels of oil per day from Iraq's northern oilfields. Exports were not affected because enough crude was available in storage at the Turkish port of Ceyhan to continue loading ships. (Reuters)
