Jordan seeks to renew its agreement to import Iraqi oil for an additional year.

Jordan’s Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources revealed on Wednesday that it is seeking to renew the memorandum of understanding for importing Iraqi oil under the same terms and specifications as the previous agreement.

The ministry confirmed in a statement that it is holding talks with the Iraqi side to renew the memorandum of understanding between the two countries for the import of Iraqi oil for an additional year, after the previous memorandum expired on June 26, 2025, which was extended until the end of last year.

The ministry said that the Jordanian Petroleum Refinery in Zarqa received 891,388 barrels of Iraqi crude oil during the period from October 5 to December 31, 2025, in completion of the previous memorandum of understanding signed between the governments of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and the Republic of Iraq, which was extended on September 17.

According to the memo, this measure comes to complete the quantities that were not loaded during the past period for logistical reasons, as loading was resumed on October 5 and ended on December 31, 2025.

This step comes within the framework of strengthening ongoing cooperation between Jordan and Iraq in the energy sector, and consolidating economic relations between the two countries, in a way that serves common interests and contributes to achieving energy security for the Kingdom.
