Iraq is planning to start crude oil exports from its northern Kirkuk Oilfield to Iran. Iraqi exports could increase, as the country plans to start trucking crude to Iran’s Kermanshah Oil Refinery under a swap agreement announced last month.
Iraq and Iran have agreed to swap up to 60,000 barrels per day of crude produced from Kirkuk for Iranian oil to be delivered to Iraqi customers in southern Iran.
