Iraqi Kurdistan opens new oil refinery
Iraq's largely autonomous Kurdistan region opened a new oil refinery on Saturday, with a projected capacity of 40,000 barrels per day, the director of the group that built the refinery said.
As per reports and information from our sources, Iraqi Kurdistan has exported 75,000 barrels of oil since the start of this month, the region's premier said on Thursday, days after Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki announced Baghdad would honour contracts signed by the autonomous region.
