Oil Minister Mr Jabar al-Luaibi as saying that Iraq plans to build a oil pipeline network to carry oil products across all its territory as an alternative to expensive and hazardous transport by tanker truck. The network is part of a “strategic” plan for oil transportation that includes pipelines to deliver crude and oil products to neighbouring countries.
The only crude pipeline now in operation in Iraq links the northern, semi-autonomous Kurdish region to Turkey’s Mediterranean coast.
All other crude pipelines were shut down or destroyed in the past 35 years as a result of wars and conflicts. iRAQ, OPEC’s second-largest producer after Saudi Arabia, once had an extensive network of pipelines to export its crude. Source : REUTERS Pipe Industry Co., Limited (www.wilsonpipeline.com)
