Jordan, Iraq sign pipeline deal

  • Jordan: Wednesday, April 10 - 2013 at 08:18

Jordan has signed an agreement with Iraq to build a double pipeline that will supply the kingdom with crude oil and natural gas, Jordan Times has reported. "We will immediately undertake all procedures to begin the implementation of this strategic project," Nihad Mossa, director general of State Company for Oil Projects at Iraq's oil ministry, told the daily. The 1,680km double pipeline will pump one-million barrels of oil a day from Basra to Jordan's Aqaba Port, and around 258 million cubic feet of gas. "This week we will invite selected companies to bid for the pipeline from Basra to Haditha, and by the year-end we expect the designs to be ready for this part in order to proceed with the process," Mossa said.
