伊拉克与土耳其周六签署为期一年的石油管道协议,规定通过土耳其地中海港口杰伊汉的最低日均出口量为75万桶伊拉克原油[1]。该协议旨在应对自美伊冲突以来霍尔木兹海峡的运输中断,并帮助伊拉克实现出口路线多元化[1]。
这条管道从伊拉克北部基尔库克出发,途经土耳其至杰伊汉港[1]。伊拉克石油部长表示,协议将保持一年有效期,同时两国完成涵盖石油、电力和水资源合作的更广泛框架协议[1]。伊拉克总理阿里·阿尔·扎伊迪称这是"确保石油出口不间断流动和加强经济合作的重要战略里程碑"[1]。
管道自2023年以来基本处于闲置状态,但去年以有限产能恢复出口[1]。相比战前伊拉克约350万桶每天的总出口量,当前出口量仅约20万桶每天[1]。
Iraq and Turkey have reached a one-year agreement to increase crude oil exports through the Turkish Mediterranean port of Ceyhan, according to a deal signed on Saturday [1]. The accord establishes a minimum daily export volume of 750,000 barrels of Iraqi crude through the Iraq-Turkey pipeline, which runs from the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk to the Turkish port [1].
The agreement comes as Iraq seeks to mitigate disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz that have persisted since the onset of the U.S.-Iraq conflict and to diversify its export routes [1]. Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi characterized the deal as "an important strategic milestone to ensure uninterrupted flow of oil exports and strengthen economic cooperation" [1]. The Iraqi oil minister, Basem Mohamed Hudar Al-Abadi, indicated that the one-year arrangement will remain in effect while the two nations work toward a broader framework agreement covering cooperation in oil, electricity, and water resources [1].
The pipeline has been largely inactive since 2023 but resumed limited export capacity last year [1]. Current exports through the pipeline stand at approximately 200,000 barrels daily, significantly below Iraq's pre-conflict export capacity of roughly 3.5 million barrels per day [1].
