Background

In November 2017 the Iraqi Oil Ministry announced plans to build a 350-km oil pipeline that would partially replace transmission capacity lost due to attacks on the existing Kirku-Ceyhan Oil Pipeline. The pipeline would run parallel to the Kirkuk-Ceyhan Oil Pipeline.

Construction was estimated to begin in 2020, though there is no evidence that this has started. As of 2021, there had been no evidence of further development four over four years, since it was announced in 2017, and the pipeline is considered cancelled.
