TURKEY - The Iraq Factor.

The Kirkuk-Ceyhan crude oil pipeline resumed pumping last March after several months of suspension because of repeated sabotage. But its useable capacity is 400,000 b/d, down from 1.6m b/d before Saddam's Iraq invaded Kuwait in August 1990, and the actual throughput in recent weeks was less

than that.

Suicide boat strikes on Iraq's main southern oil terminal at Basra on April 24 halted the export of some 3m barrels of crude oil. But exports resumed early in the morning of April 25 from the Khor Al-Amaya terminal, which handles 400,000 b/d. Exports from the 1.6m b/d Basra terminal were resumed at night on April 25.
