BASRA - Iraq has temporarily lost over 1.3 million barrels per day (bpd) of export capacity due to a pipeline failure at the Al-Basra Oil Terminal (ABOT).
Three Iraqi officials, two at the Oil Ministry and one at the state-run Basra Oil Company (BOC), said oil flows to ABOT have stopped completely because of pipeline damage.
