The country’s output has now surpassed that of Iran and Kuwait, al-Shahristani told reporters today in Baghdad. The figure would be the highest level in more than 20 years.
Crude oil pumped from fields in the northern Kurdish region “remains less than required, at a total of 116,000 barrels since Aug. 8,” when pumping from the area resumed, he said. The semi-autonomous area halted pumping for export April 1 following a dispute with the central government over payments to foreign companies. The requirement for the region is 175,000 barrels a day, al-Shahristani said.
