I read N. Barzani said there's been leakage on pipeline he believes PKK didn't sabotage the pieline.
turkey must pay the loss of KRG's profit if they can't provide security or maintenance the pipeline.

Indeed

Kurdish Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani said on Saturday he was not sure who sabotaged Erbil-Ceyhan crude oil pipeline. He revealed that it was not blown-up but that it had been tapped into and oil stolen.

How convenient of turkey. They can just rinse and repeat this anytime they wish and pay nothing to KRG, while they just tell you someone stole it. That deal must be renegotiated and must cover KRG's loss in cases like if transit country doesn't provide security, have to pay all the losses.

Just hope afrin to cizir unites and bypass turkey with Rojava+syria

Japan imports its first cargo of Kurdish oil

Posted Image

The Japan-based oil company of TonenGeneral imported the country’s first cargo of crude oil from the Kurdistan Region of Iraq and delivered to its two refineries near the capital Tokyo.

“TonenGeneral imported about 1 million barrels of Kurdish oil last month, classified as ‘export blend of Iraqi origin’ in data from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's (METI),” Reuters cited a well-informed source without raveling further details.

The cargo that was imported in January was delivered to “refineries in Kawasaki and Chiba, both of them near Tokyo,”

The Reuters report says that Japanese Ministry of Economy classifies the oil as "export blend of Iraqi origin"

The Kurdish government has exported its oil independently to the world market for more than a year to help its budget shortfall caused by the central government in Iraq since February 2014.

Oil prices revive rally on U.S. jobs data, technical charts

Oil jumped on Friday, settling 4 percent higher as strong U.S. jobs data and technical factors encouraged buying that revived this week's rally after a one-day pause.

Prices also got a boost when industry firm Baker Hughes posted data showing the U.S. oil rig count down eight this week for an 11th straight week of declines. [RIG/U]

Brent futures, the global benchmark for crude, settled up $1.65, or 4.5 percent, at $38.72 a barrel.

U.S. crude's West Texas Intermediate (WTI) futures closed up $1.35, or 3.9 percent, at $35.92.

Both crude benchmarks were up about 10 percent for the week, with Brent up a second straight week and WTI a third straight.

Oil rose after data from the Labor Department showed a surge in U.S. jobs growth for February. The rally intensified after WTI breached $35 technical resistance.

"I think there is a lot of money flow going on in oil and net buying from different parts of the financial world is driving prices higher," Scott Shelton, broker with ICAP in Durham, North Carolina said, citing WTI's lock-step trade of late with U.S. equities.

"Near term physical markets are actually pretty firm, so I don't think there are sellers here for now on the oil side," Shelton said.

Crude prices have spiked nearly 40 percent from 12-year lows hit less than two months ago, rallying after global oil producers began talking three weeks ago of a plan to freeze output at January's highs.

Charts for Brent and WTI show a Relative Strength Index (RSI) above 60, heading toward the overbought level of 70.

In mid-2014, a growing supply glut knocked oil off its perch above $100 a barrel. The current rally, coming after Brent fell to 2003 lows of around $27 and WTI near $26, has persisted amid record high U.S. crude stockpiles.

"Despite bearish inventory data, the market is looking for green shoots and reasons to head higher," said Michael Tran, director of energy strategy at RBC Capital Markets in New York.

U.S. crude inventories rose last week to a record high of 517.98 million barrels even as output fell for a sixth straight week, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said.

"We have seen another 12 million barrels arrive in the Gulf of Mexico this week from the Arab Gulf, and another 11.4 million from Central and Latin America," said Matthew Smith, who tracks crude cargoes for New York-based Clipper Data. "All these while we continue to see a backlog of cargoes in the Gulf of Mexico, more than double volumes we usually see."

The oil price has been between 30-35 dollars per barrel in the last 6 months. I guess the only reason that the oil price jumped to 38 dollars is because KRG had som pipeline issues in Turkey which reduced the production.

Reports coming out of Kurdistan region is that turkey has blocked the oil flow without any technical issues and is preventing Kurds from KR to visit And find out why.

It's obvious Turks are against Kurds no matter what since the tribal leader Massoud Barzani is speaking of a referendum to divorce Iraq turks have decided to halt only source of income for KR. Looks like PDK has committed suicide trusting turks were only anti PKK not all Kurds.

Iran offers Kurdistan region oil shipment through Persian Gulf

Hewlêr, Kurdistan Region— A top Iranian diplomat in Kurdistan region says Tehran has offered the Kurdish government access to the Persian Gulf for export of its crude oil after a series of disruptions halted the pipeline to the Turkish Ceyhan port on the Mediterranean coast.

Iranian Consul General in Sulaimani, Saadullah Masoudi, told Rudaw in an interview that the offer was made last October as the Kurdish Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani was on a visit to the Iranian capital.

“In several meetings we have proposed to the Kurdistan region officials to export their oil by pipelines through Iranian soil to the Gulf,” Masoudi said.

“Iran’s larger companies have the ability to implement such a project and it only depends on the determination of the two sides,” he added.

At least three major incidents have temporarily disrupted export of Kurdish oil through newly constructed pipelines to the Turkish port after Hewlêr started to sell its 650 barrels per day oil (bpd) independent of Baghdad in July 2015.

The last incident which has completely halted the flow of oil to Ceyhan port, took place in mid February inside Turkish territory with Ankara blaming Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) for the sabotage. The PKK, however, has categorically denied any involvement but the stoppage has cost Hewlêr millions desperately needed dollars.

“We have also informed Sulaimani governor that there will be public announcement of related tender for the construction of the pipeline as we currently wait for the Kurdistan Regional Government’s (KRG) answer,” the Iranian diplomat said.

Meanwhile the Kurdish representative in Tehran told Rudaw Iran has agreed to grant cash loans to the KRG in return for stakes in the Kurdish oil.

Nazim Dabagh said the Islamic Republic had shown willingness to assist the KRG through the ongoing financial crunch that has rocked the Kurdish economy over the past two years.

“The KRG has asked for financial help from Iran. We have conveyed that to our Iranian partners through our own channels to solve the economic hardships. The KRG has announced it is in crisis and needs assistance,” Dabagh told Rudaw but did not give details about the Kurdish response to the offer.

The KRG has largely distanced itself from its powerful Shiite neighbor to the east which gained unprecedented influence in postwar Iraq.

Critics have said that the KRG must find a second route to export its crude oil and natural gas.

Apart from a 50-year-long oil deal with Ankara, Hewlêr will from 2017 be a major exporter of natural gas to Turkey.

The Kurdistan region has an estimated 45 billion barrels of oil reserves, which it administrates largely independent from Baghdad.

I would make another deal with Turkey OR Iraq and offer them more profite of the oil , but ONLY if they accept Kurdish independence.
Iran already refused the idea of a Kurdish state; " we would not accept another Israel in Middle East" .

In addition, Turkey need a source of energy, but Iran already has a significant amout of oil and gas

We have got a tough neighborhood hmmm

well, that is possibale if Kurds firstly control between Kobani and Afrin, in my opinion that is not the biggest challenge.Ssecodly, control North of Latakia which are only Alevi Arabs population. How Bashar and Russia will let the kurds do that?!. No matter what, we have to get permission from Syria, Turkey, Iran or Iraq to reach the Gulf or Mediterian Sea. We cant blame PDK for that complicated geopolitical

Looks like PDK-Turkish oil deal has failed and SK is at high risks, when the 50 year old oil deal was made PUK and Gorran urged PM Nechirvan Barzani to keep the oil sale money in an EU bank but Nechirvan insisted to be kept in a Turkish bank; Halbank. Now turks have halted SK oil flow, when PDK tried to turn to Iran turks of course one step ahead invited Iranians and told them "we too are against SK as a separate state hence we have halted their oil so should you guys", both presidents shook hands on this....

PDK was delusional putting all their trust and apples into turkish baskets.

SK's only true way out is the med sea what is PDK going to lose? Oil flow? It's already halted, so help YPG and Rojava even if it's undercover reach the med sea and turn your back on turks they need oil and gas let them get it from their Iranian buddies same people they have been indirectly fighting in Syria, total jokes.

In which Bank in Kurdistan does the KRG have a account? To which Bank in Kurdistan do they transfer the oil money from Halkbank?
