ANKARA — The Kurdistan Regional Government plans to increase the capacity of its crude oil pipeline.

Officials said KRG would increase pipeline capacity to 400,000 barrels per day by early 2015, Middle East Newsline reported. They said the pipeline, with a current output of 280,000 barrels per day, would pump oil to Turkey.

“The work is going on right now,” an official said.

Officials said the pipeline would eventually increase Kurdish oil exports to 700,000 barrels per day. They said the pipeline, which launched operations in 2014, would reach the Turkish port of Ceyhan.
