Iraqi oil minister Hayan Abdel-Ghani announced the resumption of oil exports via Turkey's Ceyhan pipeline, with expectations of 180,000–190,000 barrels per day. After more than two years of interruption, oil exports from Iraq's Kurdistan region to Turkey are set to begin again on Saturday.

The Iraqi oil minister, Hayan Abdel-Ghani, has revealed that oil exports through Turkey's Ceyhan pipeline are set to resume. The expected output is between 180,000 and 190,000 barrels per day, according to Kurdistan's broadcaster Rudaw.
