Iraq is still in talks with Turkey and Kurdish regional authorities to resume Kirkuk oil exports through the Ceyhan port, Iraqi Oil Minister Jabar al-Luaibi told state-run newspaper al-Sabah, Reuters reported.

"The decision to restart exports depends on the results of the talks," Luaibi was quoted by al-Sabah as saying.

Production from Iraq's Kirkuk oilfields is currently at 220,000 barrels per day, which is entirely diverted to local refineries, Luaibi said.
