據彭博社9月7日報道，約旦將于本月恢復從其中東鄰國伊拉克進口原油——此前由于疫情進口暫停。能源和礦產資源部天然氣與石油司司長哈桑?希里(Hassan Hiari)表示，本月將重新開始每天進口約1萬桶石油。他在電話采訪中指出，由于疫情，整個8月份的運輸都停止了。

約旦和伊拉克當局已同意將石油供應協議延長到11月，并將很快就在此協議基礎上延長一年的事宜展開討論。

約旦自身石油資源很少，根據2019年2月簽署的初步協議，約旦每天從歐佩克成員國伊拉克進口1萬桶石油，這足以滿足該國7%的石油需求。

Jordan to Resume Iraqi Oil Imports Halted By Pandemic

Jordan will resume imports of crude oil from its Middle East neighbor Iraq this month after suspending shipments due to the coronavirus.

Imports of about 10,000 barrels a day will re-start this month, according to Hassan Hiari, director of the gas and oil department at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources. Shipments halted for all of August as a result of the pandemic, he said in a phone interview.

Jordanian and Iraqi authorities have agreed to extend their oil-supply agreement through November and will soon discuss renewing it for an additional year beyond that, Hiari said.

Under an initial deal signed in February 2019, Jordan has imported 10,000 barrels daily from OPEC member Iraq, enough to meet 7% of its needs. Jordan has negligible oil resources of its own.
