Iran May Try to Join Caspian Oil Pipeline

(AP) – A top Iranian energy official said Wednesday that Iran could negotiate pumping its oil from prospective Caspian oil fields through the U.S.-backed pipeline intended to carry the rich Caspian Sea oil resources to Western markets.

Mahmood Khaghani, the Caspian department chief in the Iranian oil ministry, said that Iran’s relations with Azerbaijan were solid enough to discuss an opportunity for Iran to pump its crude into the pipeline that carries oil from Baku, Azerbaijan, to Turkey’s Mediterranean port of Ceyhan.
