SULAIMANI (ESTA) — The Iraqi crude pipeline to Turkey’s Ceyhan oil export hub resumed flows on Tuesday evening while a tanker docked to load crude, the first since a series of earthquakes on Monday, ship tracking showed and industry sources said.
Bad weather earlier in the day had prevented loading. A massive earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria early on Monday had halted operations at Ceyhan and stopped key crude oil flows from Iraq.
The ministry of natural resources for Iraq’s Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) said the pipeline restarted flows at 9:45 p.m. local
