Iraq’s North Oil Co. is working with the Kurdish Kar Group to resume pumping at two disputed oil fields that halted output after government troops recaptured them from Kurdish forces, according to two people with knowledge of the situation. Bai Hassan and Avana oil fields are still not exporting since forces of the central government in Baghdad overtook areas in Kirkuk province from Kurdish troops last week, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the matter isn’t public. The fields had been pumping an estimated 275,000 barrels a day before the Iraqi offensive.
