crude oil pumping from

to
Turkey
's
Ceyhan export terminal was still on hold Wednesday, the fourth running day, a
Middle
East
shipping agent at the
port said
.
"The flow is still on hold and no idea when it will start," the agent
told Dow Jones Newswires by telephone from the Mediterranean
port
of
Ceyhan
.
Pumping of
Kirkuk
crude
oil has been suspended since Sunday afternoon for unknown reasons. Officials of
the oil ministry in
Baghdad
said
they had no idea what caused the closure.
However, at least one shipping agent has said that the halt could be caused by
an act of sabotage against the export pipeline inside
Iraq
.
Before the halt,
Iraq
pumped about 450,000 barrels a day from
Kirkuk
oil
fields to Ceyhan.
