The Jordanian government announced that it is approaching the stage of implementation of the oil pipeline project with Iraq between the province of Basra and the city of Aqaba.
"An Iraqi technical delegation arrived in Jordan recently to draw the preliminary features of the Iraqi-Jordanian oil pipeline (Basra-Aqaba) and met yesterday with Jordanian Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Ibrahim Seif," Jordanian government spokesman Mohammad al-Momani said in a press statement.
"It is expected that a meeting will also be held in which the Iraqi oil minister (Jabbar al-Luaibi) will accompany the Iraqi president [Fuad Masum] who arrived in Jordan on an official visit during which he will meet the King of Jordan."
"The details of the discussions on the subject have come a long way and are nearing the implementation stage," he said, pointing out that "the returns will benefit the improvement of the flow of energy sector between the two brotherly countries."
On the port of Trebil between Iraq and Jordan, Momani said that "can not talk about setting a precise time-frame to reopen the crossing because of the importance of securing the road and the post-opening phase, which is currently concerned companies to implement the steps necessary to secure it," adding that " These procedures will be discussed accurately about the time period for re-opening.
