Media In / Amman 19 March 2019

The Jordanian government today submitted a tender for the transfer of crude oil from Baiji in Iraq to the site of the Jordanian Petroleum Refinery, and no more than 10 thousand barrels per day.
Jordanian Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Hala Zowati said the announcement comes in line with the memorandum of understanding for the processing of crude oil signed between the governments of Iraq and Jordan in early February.
Under the memorandum of understanding, Jordan is buying Iraqi crude oil “Kirkuk crude oil” to meet part of its annual crude oil needs and no more than 10,000 barrels per day.
