Iraqi Oil Minister Hayyan Abdul Ghani has outlined the reasons behind the continued delay in resuming crude oil exports from the Kurdistan Region through the Turkish port of Ceyhan. He confirmed that nearly all issues have been resolved with the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), except for disagreements over domestic consumption volumes and refining allocations. Speaking to the Iraq's state media "INA", Minister Abdul Ghani stated: "The federal budget specifies that the Kurdistan Region must deliver 400,000 barrels of crude oil per day to the Iraqi federal government, specifically to the State Oil Marketing Organisation (SOMO), for export via the Iraq–Türkiye pipeline."
