AMMAN, 17 November 2003 — One million barrels of Iraqi crude, the country’s first oil exports since the end of the war, have arrived in Jordan’s Red Sea port of Aqaba, following an October deal, the Energy Ministry said here yesterday. In the Oct. 28 agreement, Jordan said it would buy 2.6 million barrels of Iraqi oil for local consumption at a cost of more than $70 million. The Iraqi imports will ensure supplies until the end of the year along with purchases from Saudi Arabia. At the time, Energy Ministry official Khaldun Qtaishat told AFP that the oil would be transported by sea from Iraq’s oil port of Mina Al-Bakr near Basra to Aqaba.
