RE: GKP and its position right now.6 May 2024 14:26
One question I'd like some help with, and that's putting a rough value to Turkey of getting imports from Kurdistan going again. Does seem Baghdad may have tried to circumnavigate Kurdish crude by trying to mend the alternative pipeline and send crude to Turkey that way cutting out the Kurds and IOC's.
However apart from problems keeping it flowing through Kurdish territory, I expect Turkey views it OK as an extra, but not sufficient recompense for Kurdish crude losses, to warrant opening the dam sluice gates.
Apart from the Turkish owned export pipeline which carries transit fees, Knew Turkish companies or wealthy Turkish citizens hold strong positions in IOC's. Can anyone shed light on how strong?
