{Baghdad: Euphrates News} Oil Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi, saw the importance of the completion of the strategic projects that contribute to the creation of more than a port for the export of oil to bypass the Meteorological and storms which stopped the crisis affecting the export and imports of the country.
Said Abdul-Mahdi said in a statement the agency {Euphrates News} received a copy of it today that "the Kurdistan region continued leveling out for several months for the delivery of" Sumo "any crude oil from the northern fields, none of Kirkuk and the region .. either from the southern ports, were exports going Bmadlathma natural, no more than 3 million barrels per day and then got a storm, in the last days of the month, gusting 84 knots, or about 120 km / h, which stopped the final of any export from the southern ports also, for a period of 72 full hours. but ended the month of October monthly exports a total of 83.935 million barrels, according to Statistics preliminary to the ministry, achieving monthly resources worth 3.320 billion dollars, with an average production of just over 2.7 million barrels a day more, preventing Iraq from exporting more than 9 million barrels extra during October, offset by the accumulation of stocks of $ 11.012 million preparer barrels for export starting from November 1 this.
He explained, "it was for Iraq before the Iran-Iraq war, several export outlets and most importantly, through the southern port of Yanbu Saudi line .. .. and through Syria and Lebanon .. and through Turkey to Ceyhan. Iraq's exports were less than the then current exports, at least from the southern ports, which shows the increase in storage capacity and export in recent times, despite the severe destruction that hit during the past wars. Instead of expanding Iraq to diversify export outlets opening up to Iran, Jordan, Kuwait also to give himself the necessary flexibility, wire tight policy on the contrary, does not have the dimension of vision, or organized hostile policy toward it made him a prisoner of regional and international political conflicts. It explains how a country almost entirely dependent on oil to stop exports once the storm makes mooring any ship impossible, but a threat that could lead to major damage, which is what happened during the three days of the month of October last. "
And that "what happened is a sensitive and strategic requires everyone to appreciate the importance of strategic projects to be undertaken Kalambeshrh {date} Jordan and Syria, and that is to make some modification him to build another branch of his passes near the Saudi border and down to Aqaba .. as well as the pipeline, which was discussed long with Basra line the Iranian side, and the initial representations to reach Basra in Abadan, Iran, ports, and other lines to Iran through Kurdistan. In addition to the ongoing discussions to build a complete export an island in the sea, or the completion of the port of Faw, or the implementation of Iraq's large port, which extends to the depths of the sea to provide ports provide adequate protection and refracting waves required for docking and storage of oil, even in the worst weather conditions.
"Concluded Abdul Mahdi said, "Fortunately, the ministry has been completed in recent months a series of reservoirs allowed it to accommodate continuous production in preparation for export when conditions improve. This in our view is a good sign but it does not raise the concern that we feel, especially now that Iraq wants to live up its production and exports to the weakening of the current rates .. which requires everyone to stay away from the prosthetic and short-sighted policies or confrontational .. Iraq will not be a strong Iraq to serve his sons that did not It coexists internally and unite forces, and will not be strong and mighty an Iraq that did not get along with its neighbors and the outside surrounding
