Background

In 2014, the director of the energy commission of the Kurdish Regional Government said that natural gas flow through the Erbil-Ceyhan pipeline when completed in 2017.

World Pipelines listed the project in 2015 as an example of impeded development of infrastructure due to disputes between the Kurdistan Regional government and the Federal Iraqi Government.

As of August 2020, no progress has been found, the proposal is assumed to be cancelled.
