Kurdistan's independent oil exports fell by more than 20 percent in August, to 391,000 barrels per day (bpd), due to pipeline outages in Turkey.
After achieving record sales in July, of 492,000 bpd, the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) suffered from nine days of pipeline downtime in August, caused mainly by sabotage and smuggling. The outages prevented nearly $250 million worth of oil from being sold, according to an Iraq Oil Report analysis.
