Iraq and Turkey Discuss Expanding Oil Export Capacity Through Ceyhan

Iraq and Turkey have discussed increasing oil export capacity through the port of Ceyhan as part of ongoing negotiations over a new bilateral oil export agreement.

The talks link the proposed capacity increase to preparations for a new framework governing oil exports between the two countries.

The discussions concern the capacity of the Ceyhan export route, rather than a confirmed increase in the volume of oil shipped through it.

No proposed capacity target or timetable was provided in the summary of the talks. The terms of the planned agreement also remain unspecified.
