Furthermore, the financial data published by the company shows that the initial weighted average selling price for Jordanian oil reached approximately $58.70 per barrel.

Agreement details
The resumption of oil supplies between Jordan and Iraq comes as a result of a bilateral agreement signed in May of last year.

The agreement, known as the Jordanian-Iraqi Agreement to Resume Oil Supplies, aimed to facilitate the supply and transportation of crude oil between the two countries.

Under the terms of the agreement, Jordan imports 10,000 barrels of oil per month, with the price based on the monthly Brent crude rate minus $16 per barrel. This price adjustment is intended to cover the quality difference and transportation costs associated with the oil imports.

The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources has reported that this quantity of imported oil represents approximately 7 percent of the Kingdom's crude oil needs.
