One crude unit that was in maintenance at Iraq’s biggest refinery will restart ahead of schedule to compensate output lost in a sabotage attack two days ago, said Asim Jihad, a spokesman for the Oil Ministry.
Iraq will also import fuel from neighboring producers to boost stockpiles after operations at the refinery in the northern city of Baiji were partially halted after a bombing on Feb 26 which affected two out of four crude units at the plant, he said by phone from Bagdad today. Jihad declined to name the countries it would buy the products from.
