| Iraq Pipeline Shut Down ...........again |
| 2004-08-14 |
| August 14th, 2004 Authorities in southern Iraq have shut down the main pipeline carrying oil for export after intelligence showed a rebel militia could strike infrastructure. An oil official described the situation in Basra as "bad". Flows to offshore terminals, which account for all of Iraq's oil exports, are running through another smaller pipeline at a rate of one million barrels per day. The larger pipeline has a capacity of 1.5 million bpd. |
