Oil Firm Starts Shutdown In Kurdistan Amid Iraq-Turkey Dispute

OIL

Norway’s DNO ASA said Wednesday it has started an orderly shutdown of its operated oil fields in the autonomous Kurdistan region of Iraq, four days after exports via a pipeline to Turkey were halted.

  • Turkey closed a pipeline running from northern Iraq to the Turkish port of Ceyhan last week after a court ruling. The legal fight is halting roughly 400kbpd of crude exports.
  • DNO is lowering output at the Tawke and Peshkabir fields, which pumped 107kbpd of crude last year.
  • Since the shutdown, DNO has diverted oil production to storage tanks, but capacity is limited and it had previously said the tanks could accommodate just a few days' output.
  • “It is unfortunate it has come to this given the likely impact of a continuing supply disruption on oil prices and at a fragile time in global financial markets,” said DNO’s Executive Chairman Bijan Mossavar-Rahman.
