Despite its effective autonomy, KRGs landlocked location leaves large-scale oil exports contingent upon cooperative relations with Baghdad and turkey, both of which have incentives to constrain it. Tumultuous national/regional politics pose additional potential challenges to uninterrupted exports.
Baghdad controls existing pipelines; payment dispute leaves KRG to export by truck; approaching elections threaten to heighten tensions Turkeyprincipal source of imports and natural export corridorenjoys substantial leverage; PKK issue significantly shapes relations with KRG Ties to other Kurdish populations expose KRG to regional instability and fallout from growing regional Sunni-Shia divide

TURKISH POLITICS: Priority of resolving PKK issue may weigh against short-term action on KRGTurkish pipeline, but success would favour an expansion of ties potentially including some form of economic union Turkish energy security and diversification needs in light of regional sectarian cold war. Turkey currently largely dependant on Iranian/Russian/Azerbaijan gas to power its economy, a dependant KRG can provide good source of diversification.

SYRIA: Collapse of the Assad regime has the potential to generate significant regional instability with direct implications. Intervention from Iran threatens to widen the hostilities & underscores the sectarian cast of civil war- Sunni-Shia tensions in Iraq. Syrian Kurds secured control of their region while remaining out of the conflict; An independent Syrian Kurdish region could lessen Turkish willingness to support a KRG pipeline.
IRAQI POLITICS Malikis drive to centralize power diminishes prospects of breaking the oil impasse or seeing leadership change through 2014 election. Increasing sectarian tensions and constraints on its access to the Ceyhan pipeline are likely to push KRG towards assertion of greater autonomy and development of dedicated pipeline through Turkey or use of Ceyhan separately from Baghdad (selling directly bypassing Baghdad)
