exports from Kurdistan.

"It is supposed to be resolved, and the region will start handing over
the oil at the beginning of next year," Al Shahristani, who did not
elaborate, said on Dec. 6.
In 2009, Iraq, saying KRG contracts were illegal, blocked Kurdish oil
exports amid a dispute over the authority to develop and market energy.
Kurdistan plans to reach a crude oil output capacity of 150,000 barrels per
day in 2011.
