*Turkish crude imports for Q1 fell from the record 708,000 b/d seen in Q4 last year, though at 625,000 b/d they were still high by historical standards. Likewise, though volumes from top supplier Iraq, at 282,000 b/d, were down from Q4’s record 335,000 b/d (MEES, 4 March) this was still the fourth highest figure on record for a commanding 45% market share (see chart and table).
