TREE NEWS update: BP has adjusted its refineries to shift production emphasis from jet fuel to diesel, CEO said, adding the company does not intend to pull back from the Middle East. BP is working with the Iraqi government to assess new export route options, including a northern corridor.

Whether the northern corridor discussions translate into a viable alternative route is the open question.
