LONDON (Dow Jones)--Oil shipments through a pipeline from Iraq's Kirkuk oil fields into the Turkish Mediterranean export terminal of Ceyhan halted Wednesday haven't yet resumed, a local shipping agent said Friday at 1000 local time (0800 GMT).
The agent added that total inventory of Kirkuk crude available at Ceyhan stands at around 3 million barrels.
No vessels are scheduled to lift at the terminal in the next two days.
In related news, the Turkish army Friday pounded areas across the border in northern Iraq with artillery fire, continuing its assaults on suspected rebel positions, a Kurdish border guard official said.
Major General Jabar Yawar, spokesman for the Peshmerga border guard in Iraq's northern autonomous Kurdistan area, told AFP that there were no immediate reports of casualties.
"From seven until 10 this morning there was artillery shelling on the border near Amadiyah" in the Dohuk region, Yawar said.
"The local residents heard this bombing. We contacted the border guards who and they confirmed the attack but had no details of place."
