AMMAN— A reliable source within the
Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources has
confirmed that the return of several oil tankers carrying Iraqi oil to the
Ramadi region in Iraq, due to protests near the Trebil border crossing, is
primarily motivated by concerns for the safety of both the drivers and the
tankers.

Furthermore,
the source emphasized that the
Iraqi authorities are committed to adhering to
the memorandum of understanding signed between the two nations. There is
ongoing coordination with the Iraqi side to ensure the safe passage of these
tankers, Al Mamlaka TV reported.
The
source also underlined that the quantities of oil imported from Iraq account
for only 7 to 10 percent of Jordan's total needs for crude oil and petroleum
products. The return of these tankers is not expected to have any significant
impact on the supply of crude oil and petroleum products. This is due to major
contracts in place between the
Jordan Petroleum Refinery and Saudi Aramco,
which already cover the majority of the kingdom's requirements for crude oil.
The
source clarified that these existing contracts allow for an increase in import
quantities in the event of any shortage from any source. Additionally, it was
noted that Jordan maintains a strategic stockpile of crude oil, sufficient to
cover the nation's needs for more than 44 days, while the stockpile of
petroleum products is adequate for over two months of consumption.
