An oil pipe line between Iraq, Jordan

The Iraqi ministry of oil secretary Taha Hammoud has announced that the ministry will send an Iraqi consultation delegation to Jordan to discuss the establishment of an oil pipeline between the two states.

In press statements, Hamoud said that the Jordanian side is making studies on the project and had made contacts with several international companies seeking technical aids.

He expressed his country's readiness to provide the necessary technical aids to Jordan to erect this line which will be at a cost of $ 350 million in order to transport the Iraqi crude oil to the Jordanian oil refinery in al-Zarqa.
