Iraq’s Oil Ministry is studying an offer submitted by a private a Saudi company to rebuild the idled Iraq-Saudi oil export pipeline, ministry spokesman Asim Jihad told Reuters.
Jihad and a representative of the Saudi firm, Ali Mahir, said the offer proposed involving Japan’s Mitsubishi and a Hungarian company identified as OTV, which took part in the construction of the original 626 km (390 mile) pipeline, which had a capacity of 1.7-million barrels per day. Alsumaria TV says the proposal involves Mitsubishi along with Bulgarian and American companies.
“We welcome any cooperation with Saudi Arabia in the oil sector to enhance bilateral relations. The offer is under discussion,” Jihad said.

yes I read this a couple of weeks ago

do you know what happened to the pipeline. I was told that part of the pipeline was connected to the saudi internal network, (essentially annexed from Iraq) is this true?

more details can be found on the iraqoilreport.com website. I forgot exactly what's happened with the saudi section, but it was detailed there. Iraq did pay for its construction all the way to the red sea in the 1980s and it is the biggest international pipeline iraq has.

As Iraq reports the results of its recent gas auctions, the western province of Anbar is demanding more control over its potentially huge energy reserves, including the vast desert province’s Akkas reservoir.
According to Reuters, Anbar’s government last week rejected Baghdad’s plan for the auction due to the possibility that surplus gas will be exported.
Anbar’s opposition reflects deep discontent in Iraq’s Sunni heartland about the Shiite-led central government.
“We are against the approach of the central government and we will be against any contract between the central government and any company in the world,” Anbar Governor Qasim Abid said.
“We have our own vision of how to develop this [field].”
Mainly Sunni Anbar Province, controlled by Al-Qaeda in the years following the US-led ouster of Saddam Hussein, has been relatively quiet since tribal sheikhs joined forces with US troops to drive out Sunni Islamist militants in 2006 and 2007.
“We demand the Oil Ministry start exploration in Anbar because it’s unfair to develop and start production from oilfields in some provinces and ignore the billions of barrels of crude we have,” Anbar provincial council leader Jassim Mohammad said.
Anbar authorities warned they would refuse to provide security to foreign firms working in Akkas and would use all means, including “civil revolt,” if Baghdad ignores their demands.
