New Iraqi Crude Headed to US
10:25 EDT - The first US import of a new strain of Iraqi crude, Basrah Heavy, is due to be delivered to the US Gulf Coast in September, says shipping-tracker ClipperData. Iraq started exporting Basrah Heavy this spring after buyers complained that its Basrah Light crude was of uneven quality. A ship carrying both Basrah Light and Basrah Heavy is en route to Texas, ClipperData says.
