"Decades of Delayed Recovery: Iraq's Oil Pipeline on the Mend After 20-Year Downtime A major milestone is on the horizon for Iraq's oil industry as a crucial pipeline, shut down since the US-led invasion in 2003, is finally set to resume operations. The pipeline, a vital artery for the country's oil exports, has been idle for over two decades due to extensive damage sustained during the conflict. Repair efforts have been ongoing, but the project has faced numerous delays and setbacks. With the pipeline's expected restart, Iraq's oil production is poised to receive a significant boost, and the country's economy may finally start to reap the benefits of its vast oil reserves."
