Turkish energy officials have said the Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline carrying crude oil from Iraq to Turkey have been rocked by an explosion on Saturday night, but oil flows were continuing and exports were not affected, Reuters has reported. "One of the lines suffered damage but the flow is continuing without problem through the parallel line. Exports have not been affected by the situation," one energy official said. The blast occurred in the south-eastern Turkish province of Mardin, the officials said. The cause was not immediately clear.
