Erdogan says Turkey could get 1M barrels of oil a day from energy deal with Iraq

President Tayyip Erdogan said on Tuesday that Turkey aimed to sign a comprehensive energy cooperation deal with neighbouring Iraq as soon as possible
after he held talks with Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi in Ankara.
Speaking at a joint news conference after a signing ceremony that had been expected to feature a deal to keep the Kirkuk-Ceyhan crude oil pipeline open for another year, Erdogan said Turkey’s state-owned oil and gas company TPAO would operate in the Kirkuk oilfield used by BP.
The sides did not sign the deal to extend the decades-old pipeline agreement, which governs exports through the pipeline and officially expired on Monday.
