ISTANBUL (Reuters) - The Kurdistan Regional Government's (KRG) oil pipeline via Turkey is operating normally and pumping 120,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil despite an advance by Islamic State fighters in northern Iraq, sources told Reuters on Friday.

"The crude flow is uninterrupted, pumping around 120,000 bpd," one industry source said. "Some fields such as Taq Taq are actually producing their highest."
