DMEA: Iraqi Oil Minister signals progress on Kurdistan oil talks

Iraqi Oil Minister Hayyan Abdulghani spoke positively this week about negotiations with the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) to restart oil exports, which have now been shuttered for 15 months.

Speaking to Kurdistan24, Abdulghani said that talks are ongoing between the two parties, and noted the importance of the agreement between Baghdad and Erbil that governs oil exports via the Turkish port of Ceyhan, a deal that serves as the bedrock of ongoing discussions aimed at reviving oil flows.
