Abstract:

The objective of the project was to reduce oil pipeline interdictions, improve the reliability of crude oil delivery from the Kirkuk oilfields to the Baiji Oil Refinery, and increase exports of northern crude oil via the Iraq-to-Turkey Pipeline. The objective of this project assessment was to provide real-time information on relief and reconstruction projects to interested parties to enable appropriate action, when warranted. To accomplish this objective, SIGIR determined whether the project was at full capability or capacity when accepted by the U.S. government, when transferred to the appropriate Iraqi ministry, and when observed during the site visit. Specifically, SIGIR determined whether the completed project was operating at the capacity stated in the objective of the original contract or task order.
