KRG said the exports would begin on June 1 from the Tawke oil field, developed by Norway's DNO International. In a May 8 statement, KRG said exports would begin at 60,000 barrels per day through Turkey.

Officials said exports would also stem from the Taq Taq field. They said 40,000 barrels per day would leave the autonomous region of Iraq via truck through Turkey.
