An agreement requiring Iraq to provide Jordan with oil at preferential
prices has come into effect, a weekly report by al-Hilal Oil Company
said.
"Nile Ziyabat Company, which submitted the lowest bid, has been selected to lead a group of companies that will transport oil from the border Haditha area to refineries inside the Jordanian territories in return for $15 per barrel," according to the report that was received by Aswat al-Iraq local media.
During the summer, Iraq and Jordan agreed to renew an oil agreement signed in 2006 for three years with the same terms, under which Jordan can import Iraqi oil at preferential prices. The announcement was made following talks between Jordanian Prime Minister Nader Dahabi and his visiting Iraqi counterpart Nouri al-Maliki in the capital Amman
