[rtl]With efforts to increase production in the coming years, Iraqi oil exports need new outlets, whether through pipelines, or through different ways through which they can reach their destinations around the world.[/rtl]
[rtl]In this context, researcher and energy expert Dr. Duraid Abdullah explains that Baghdad, during the past 97 years, since the first oil fountain erupted from the Kirkuk fields in 1927, until the middle of this year 2024, had 8 pipelines.[/rtl]
[rtl]This came during Abdullah’s participation in an episode of the “Energy Insights” program, via the “X” platform (formerly Twitter), presented by the editorial advisor of the specialized energy platform (based in Washington), energy economics expert Dr. Anas Al-Hajji, entitled “Iraq.. The Future of Energy Supplies between Opportunities and Challenges and the Role of the Gulf States.”[/rtl]
[rtl]According to the expert, some of these pipelines were towards the Red Sea and the Mediterranean, with a total length exceeding 8,500 kilometers, and included 25 pumping stations, with a maximum capacity of 5 million barrels per day, between the 1950s and 1990.[/rtl]
[rtl]Energy researcher and expert Dr. Duraid Abdullah said that Baghdad, during the fifties and seventies and up until 1990, had about 6 pipelines through which Iraqi oil exports passed, and had the ability and movement to export large quantities.[/rtl]
[rtl]He added: "The 6 pipelines were operating at a capacity of about 4.3 million barrels per day, equivalent to 1.5 times the oil production in Iraq at that time, but the reality is that the pipelines that were truly effective were 3 pipelines, namely Ceyhan Kirkuk, Al-Mu'jiz, and the Saudi-Iraqi pipeline."[/rtl]
[rtl]Dr. Duraid Abdullah explained that the Saudi-Iraqi pipeline was confiscated in 2001, and only two pipelines remain, with a capacity of about 1.5 million barrels per day, meaning that these two pipelines can meet only about 40% of Iraqi oil exports.[/rtl]
[rtl]The problem in Iraq now, according to the expert, is that the two pipelines have not been operating since 2014, since the terrorist organization ISIS entered Mosul, until today, as the Ministry of Oil began maintenance work on these two pipelines and developing their pumping stations in July 2023.[/rtl]
[rtl]He pointed out that the maintenance of the two pipelines and their pumping stations is an important step, as 1.5 million barrels per day of Iraqi oil exports from Kirkuk to Turkey will help develop the country's production at present and in the future.[/rtl]
[rtl]He continued: "The most important thing is that there are no other options available. All the alternatives are difficult to achieve, and there are alternatives that the Iraqi Ministry of Oil has begun implementing, including (the most difficult) the Iranian Basra-Jask-Kohyeh pipeline, which runs from the Basra fields eastward to the Kohyeh region north of Ahvaz."[/rtl]
[rtl]According to Dr. Duraid Abdullah, the length of this pipeline is about 350 kilometers, and it is connected to the main Iranian oil pipeline from Basra, from Iranian Kohiyeh to Jask, which is a port on the Gulf of Oman, meaning that Iraqi oil exports can be pumped through it at a rate of 500 to 800 thousand barrels per day.[/rtl]
[/size]
[rtl]Energy market expert Dr. Duraid Abdullah said that political problems and financial complications have made the pipeline project distant, and now Iraq is seriously considering developing a strategic pipeline that connects southern Iraq, which is full of oil, and all the southern fields with the center and north, and it is called the strategic pipeline.[/rtl]
[rtl]He stressed that this pipeline was built in the mid-seventies, and the Iraqi Ministry of Oil now needed to develop it by adding a second, larger pipeline from Basra towards an area called “Haditha”, which is used to distribute Iraqi oil between the north, east and west. Work on developing it began 3 months ago, and it could be completed within the next year.[/rtl]
[rtl]Dr. Duraid Abdullah explained that the idea of the Ministry of Oil is to increase pumping towards the north, i.e. towards Kirkuk, and from there to the Iraqi-Turkish line to the Turkish port of Ceyhan, and this is the main strategy of the ministry during the next 3 years.[/rtl]
[rtl]He added: "The main idea is to strengthen or increase Iraqi oil exports from Basra and the south in general, towards the north, and deliver these exports to Kirkuk, and then link them to the Iraqi-Turkish pipeline, which is currently undergoing maintenance."[/rtl]
[rtl]In the next 3 months, the initial operation of the pipeline is expected to begin, which is useful because there is an idea that is being discussed a lot, which is to build a pipeline that reaches the Jordanian port of Aqaba, by connecting it to the Iraqi strategic pipeline, and then towards the Iraqi-Jordanian border, and then to the north of Amman, with a capacity of 1.5 million barrels per day.[/rtl]
[rtl]In response to a question from the editorial advisor of the specialized energy platform, Dr. Anas Al-Hajji, regarding the type of dispute within the Iraqi government regarding the Basra-Aqaba pipeline, Abdullah said that the dispute is more political than technical, as Iraqi oil exports can go directly to Israel through Aqaba.[/rtl]
[rtl]Hence, according to Dr. Duraid Abdullah, the Israelis can buy Iraqi oil exports, just like other investors, and the Ministry of Oil, represented by SOMO, only allows sales to refinery owners, and the owners of the two refineries in Israel are on the blacklist.[/rtl]
[rtl]In other words, it is not possible now, nor in the near or distant future, nor even in the past, to sell Iraqi oil directly from SOMO or from the Ministry of Oil to any private or public entity inside Israel, according to what the international expert said.[/rtl]
[/size]
[rtl]In response to a question from energy economics expert Dr. Anas Al-Hajji, regarding Kurdistan’s oil exports to Israel and the way it is sold there, energy market expert Dr. Duraid Abdullah said that there is a complication that everyone should know, which is that oil in the Kurdistan Region is sold through a committee called the “Five-Party Committee.”[/rtl]
[rtl]He explained that this committee is present in Turkey, and sells oil to any party, so there are Western and Eastern buyers of different nationalities, especially oil trading companies, and these companies - because Kurdish oil is of poor quality - try to mix it with other types of oil in Israel.[/rtl]
[rtl]After mixing these oils, according to Dr. Duraid Abdullah, they are pumped towards the port of Eilat, where they begin to be exported from there on board oil tankers. This is the main idea. During the period between 2017 and 2022, it was noted that Kurdish oil exports to Israel amounted to about 500,000 barrels.[/rtl]
[rtl]He added: "This is a huge number, given that Israel's daily consumption does not exceed 200,000 barrels, and a large part of this consumption is refined petroleum products coming from the United States and India, and I see that it is not possible for Iraqi oil exports to go to the two refineries located in Israel."[/rtl]
