据路透社巴格达报道，库尔德地区政府自然资源部上周日称，伊拉克半自治库尔德地区的一条石油出口管道能力已从每天70万桶提升到每天100万桶。
这条管道将原油输送到伊拉克的库尔德斯坦，并连接到靠近土耳其和叙利亚边境的Fish-Khabur计量站，然后再输送到另一条管道，将原油输送到土耳其的地中海海岸出口。
外交部的声明说称，“这种额外的产能将适应库尔德地区政府生产领域未来的产量增长，也可以被联邦政府（在巴格达）用来出口目前滞留在基尔库克和周边地区的石油。目前库尔德地区政府原油日出口量超过40万桶。“

Iraqi Kurds say upgrade raises oil pipeline capacity to 1 million bpd
An oil export pipeline in Iraq’s semi-autonomous Kurdish region has been upgraded to a capacity of 1 million barrels per day from 700,000 bpd, the Kurdish regional government’s natural resources ministry said The pipeline carries crude across Iraqi Kurdistan and connects to a metering station in Fish-Khabur near the Turkish and Syrian borders, before feeding another pipeline that takes the crude to the Turkish Mediterranean coast for export.
“This extra capacity will accommodate future production growth from KRG (Kurdistan Regional Government) producing fields, and can also be used by the federal government (in Baghdad) to export the currently stranded oil in Kirkuk and surrounding areas,” the ministry’s statement said.
The KRG currently exports over 400,000 bpd of crude oil, it said. ?
