Iraq starts work on Basra-Haditha oil pipeline: State news agency

Iraq has commenced work on an oil pipeline linking Basra to Haditha with a planned capacity of 2.5 million barrels per day, the state news agency said on Friday citing the oil ministry, as the OPEC producer seeks to expand export routes.

About $1.5 billion has been allocated for the project, although its pace will depend on securing further budget allocations, ⁠the ministry said.

The 700-kilometre (435-mile) pipeline will transport crude for export through multiple routes, including Syria's Baniyas, Turkey’s Ceyhan and Jordan's Aqaba, while also supplying refineries along its path, a ministry spokesperson said.
