Why Iraq needs o-rings
Iraq holds some of the world's largest oil reserves and is rebuilding power, water and housing infrastructure after years of conflict. Umm Qasr near Basra is the main seaport, with northern cargo often routed through Turkey.
Gaskets and gland packing are replaced whenever a flange is opened or a pump is overhauled, so plants buy them by the hundred before every shutdown.
