Iraq is looking to reopen its crude oil export pipeline through Saudi Arabia, according to a state newspaper in the country.
The pipeline has been shut in since 1990.
According to an unidentified Iraqi official steps have been taken to revive the pipeline as part of a plan to “diversify its export outlets”.
An Iraqi oil ministry spokesman decline to comment on the report.
The pipeline was shut by Saudi Arabia in 1990, after Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait.
It used to carry Iraqi crude to the Saudi terminal of Yanbu on the Red Sea and was built in the 1980s.
