Kurdistan to double oil exports this year, plans pipeline

BAGHDAD — Iraq's autonomous province of Kurdistan plans to double crude oil capacity in 2010.   

Kurdish Natural Resource Minister Ashti Hawrami said the Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) would more than double oil export capacity over the next few months.

Hawrami said KRG plans to export up to 250,000 barrels per day by 2011.

In an address to a conference, Hawrami said KRG would launch a project to construct a pipeline that would pump one million barrels of oil to neighboring states.

The minister said KRG would issue a tender over the next few months.

In October 2009, KRG suspended exports amid a dispute with the Iraqi Oil Ministry in Baghdad.

"Ultimately we need a major pipeline that combines all the fields together to the final export point," Hawrami said on March 24.
