SuMed pipeline yet to accept Iranian oil after sanctions
Egypt and Gulf Arab crude producers have yet to let Iran resume oil shipments through a pipeline they operate to supply customers in Europe and the Mediterranean Sea region, more than a month after international sanctions against Iran were lifted. Arab Petroleum Pipelines Co., which operates the link known as SuMed, is still reviewing terms of the agreement that removed sanctions on Iran in January, according to a company official. The operator is seeking to ensure that Iran complies with sanctions regulations before resuming oil shipments halted since August 2012, said the official, who asked not to be identified, citing company policy. Egyptian General Petroleum Corp. owns 50% of SuMed, which connects the Red Sea with the Mediterranean. (Bloomberg)
