KIRKUK: Iraq's oil exports to Turkey through the Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline were flowing at around 350,000-400,000 barrels per day on Friday, a North Oil Company source said, after flow was stopped to re-fill storage tanks.
"Oil pumping was restarted in the early hours of Friday morning at an average of 350,000 bpd to 400,000 bpd," a senior official in NOC, who asked not to be named, told Reuters.
Pumping of crude oil through the pipeline was halted on Thursday due to low volumes in storage, NOC sources had said.
Iraq exported an average of 2.135 mln bpd in November, including 423,000 bpd from the northern fields around Kirkuk and 1.712 million bpd from the southern oil hub of Basra.
