ERBIL - Iraq’s oil export pipeline to Ceyhan restarted early on Aug. 5 after more than a week offline due to technical problems and sabotage.
It is unclear how much oil is now flowing through the pipeline, which was shut on July 27 due to a technical malfunction likely brought on by smugglers interdicting it in Turkey's Urfa area, and then attacked by an explosive device on July 29.
