DNO ASA, which pumps a quarter of Kurdistan's crude oil exports, has started an orderly shutdown of its oil fields in the semi-autonomous region of Iraq following the suspension of oil exports from Kurdistan via the Turkish port of Ceyhan. Kurdistan's crude oil exports were halted last week by the federal government of Iraq after the International Chamber of Commerce ruled in favor of Iraq against Turkey in a dispute over crude flows from Kurdistan.
