Iraq plans to sign a one-year agreement to continue crude oil flows through the Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline, with a capacity of 750,000 barrels per day.
The deal expired on Monday, ending a decades-long bilateral arrangement allowing operation of Baghdad's only functioning export pipeline.
Iraq's oil output fell 66 per cent amid the Iran war, dropping from 4.3 million to 1.4 million barrels per day.
A new 700-kilometre Basra-Haditha pipeline, with $1.5 billion allocated, will eventually link export routes through Syria, Turkey and Jordan.
