Construction
Iraq's oil minister Hussain Al Shahristani, said on Sunday at the Iraqi donor meeting in Abu Dhabi that Baghdad is considering a new crude oil pipeline for exports from Kirkuk through Turkey. He said the plan would be on the 'drawing board' for over a year. He added that another pipeline is under construction which will link Kirkuk to the Baiji oil hub and pipeline intersection before it flows into a line to the Ceyhan port in Turkey. Al Shahristani said the new Kirkuk - Baiji pipeline will be ready in a month.
