Iraq’s oil ministry said the country’s self-governing Kurds illegally shipped a second crude cargo from a Turkish port and urged other governments to help ward off potential buyers.
The United Emblem loaded 1.045 million barrels of crude at Ceyhan, Turkey, yesterday and is now in the Mediterranean Sea, Fayyad al-Nima, Iraq’s deputy oil minister for refining affairs, said by phone from Baghdad today. “We informed the foreign ministry to inform our ambassadors to tell governments not to deal with illegal oil,” he said.
