- Iraq: Tuesday, December 11 - 2012 at 04:43
Iraqi oil minister Abdul-Kareem Luaibi has said global oil trader Vitol has apologised to the Iraqi government for buying Kurdish oil that was exported via Turkey without Baghdad's permission, Reuters has reported. Luaibi, in Vienna for an Opec meeting, was asked by reporters how Iraq was dealing with three companies - Vitol, Trafigura and Lukoil - who have purchased condensate, a light crude oil, sourced from Kurdistan and sold via an intermediary to world markets. "In terms of Vitol, they have cancelled the Kurdish amount and they apologised officially," said Luaibi. "As for Lukoil, there will be a meeting about this concern - maybe tomorrow or the day after." He made no mention of Trafigura.
