Exports from Iraq’s northern Kirkuk oilfields to the Turkish port of Ceyhan will stay at between 80-90,000 barrels per day (bpd) as most of the crude produced is being diverted to feed refineries in the north, Iraq’s oil minister said on Wednesday. Current production at the Kirkuk oilfields stands at around 370,000 bpd, the head of Iraq’s North Oil Company, Farid al-Jadir, told the same news conference.
