Oil exports from Kirkuk's oilfields double Kirkuk - Voices of Iraq

Kirkuk, Feb 23, (VOI) - Iraq's oil exports from its northern oilfields in Kirkuk city to the Turkish Mediterranean Port of Ceyhan were two times more than their volume four years ago, an official source from the North Oil Company said.

"On Friday, the oil pumping process from Kirkuk's oilfields to the Turkish Ceyhan Port reached 500,000 barrels per day, the highest since 2003," the source, who preferred to remain unnamed, told Aswat al-Iraq, Voices of Iraq, (VOI).

"Oil exports through the Turkish port had stood at an average of 250-350 bpd," the source explained.

Mostly, Iraqi oil exports from northern oilfields are interrupted as armed groups repeatedly target the pipelines carrying oil from Kirkuk to Ceyhan port in Turkey. The larger quantities of crude are usually exported through ports in the safe city of Basra in southern Iraq.

Kirkuk, an oil-rich and mixed city of Kurds, Turkmen, Christians and Arabs, lies 250 km northeast of the Iraqi capital Baghdad.

Absolutely coach! Their money maker is pumping, the Kurds are going to get richer before the Iraqis do, their desire to buy nice things will skyrocket and then they'll demand a currency with true purchasing power.

This is why I am investing in a small UK operation who are exploring in different areas of the world,and at 85p per share it's got to be worth a punt.
