Flows of crude oil through a pipeline from the semi-autonomous Kurdistan region in northern Iraq to Turkey could restart soon after an almost two-year shutdown.

Iraq’s oil ministry has announced the resumption of oil exports from northern Iraq’s semi-autonomous northern Kurdish region

Iraq’s oil minister said he’s hoping crude oil exports from the country’s northern Kurdistan region will restart in two days after it was halted almost two years ago following a payments dispute.

Iraq is awaiting a response from Turkey “within the next 24 hours” regarding the readiness of the pipeline designated for the Kurdistan Region’s oil exports, an official from Iraq’s oil ministry said on Sunday.

The Iraqi Oil Ministry announced the completion of all procedures required to resume oil exports from Iraqi Kurdistan.

Turkey says it has yet to hear from Iraq about restarting oil flows through an export pipeline from the semiautonomous Kurdistan region, casting doubt on expectations for an imminent resumption.

Turkey has yet to receive confirmation from Iraq on the resumption of oil flows through the Iraq-Turkey pipeline, Turkish Energy Minister Alparslan Bayraktar told Reuters on Wednesday.

Iraq’s oil ministry repeated that it’s ready to restart exports from the semi-autonomous region of Kurdistan via a pipeline to Turkey that’s been shut for almost two years.
