Kerkuk-Yumurtalik Pipeline Waits for the New Government

Reportedly, since there is neither an administration to conduct the oil sales nor workers to work in oil production and at the pumping stations, production is stopped. Buyers of the crude oil had halted the oil transport due to the attack of coalition forces on Iraq on March 19. after that the pipeline remained operational for 5 days to fill the oil storage tanks and then no shipment was made. Eventually, oil transfer was halted completely on March 23.
