The pipeline, which carries about 600,000 barrels per day of oil to the Turkish port of Ceyhan from fields in the autonomous region and the Kirkuk field in northern Iraq, has been halted since 17 February and is not expected to resume deliveries until 29 February, a shipping source told Reuters.
"We were told that the pipeline would not be on line until at least Monday," the source said on condition of anonymity because the information has not been made public.
