Iraq will resume crude oil exports to Turkey within 24 hours after shipments were stopped by a bomb attack four days ago, according to Emad al-Baqer, North Oil Co.’s head of production.

Workers are replacing parts of the pipeline to allow exports from Iraq’s northern Kirkuk oilfields to Turkey’s Mediterranean port of Ceyhan to resume, he said. "Repair works will not take more than 24 hours and exports will start after that," he said in a telephone interview from Kirkuk today.
