Iraq plans to build pipelines to transport oil products and crude oil to neighboring countries, the Iraqi oil minister said on Saturday, stressing at the same time the determination to build a pipeline network to transport oil products to all parts of the country.
The Minister, Jabbar Ali al-Allaibi, issued a statement by "Mawazin News" in which he said that "earlier set up a high-level committee under the chairmanship of the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Extraction in order to develop an integrated study for the establishment of an integrated system of pipelines for the transfer of oil derivatives linking the Iraqi provinces and cities in the north and center And the south of the integrated system of transmission lines of oil derivatives, provided that this committee recommendations and proposals at the end of the month, "noting that" the ministry will study the implementation of this strategic project by strategic investment or other. "
"Iraq is in dire need of an integrated pipeline system for the transport of oil derivatives, as well as the existence of tanks and pumping stations in the main cities that cover the needs of the country instead of tanker transport, which constitute an additional financial burden, as well as the risks and other problems that cause them."
Al-Luaibi pointed out that "the repeated sabotage operations that hit the infrastructure of the networks of transport of crude oil and pipelines of oil exports and a number of pipelines for the transfer of petroleum products by terrorist gangs, as well as the aging of pipes has greatly affected the activities of the ministry in this area."
Al-Allaibi revealed that "the ministry is in the process of establishing a number of pipelines connecting crude oil and oil derivatives to the border with the neighboring countries."
