Iraq October crude production rises to 2.4 million b/d

摘要

Amman, Jordan-Iraq's crude oil production in October rose to 2.407 million b/d, up 130,000 b/d from September, but still below the 2.5 million b/d post-war high registered in August. Iraqi ministry of oil figures obtained by Platts showed production remains 131,000 b/d below the August level of 2.538 million b/d, the highest since the US-led war of March 2003. The decline in production since August was due mainly to lower output from southern fields, where some wells have been shut due to high water content, sources told Platts.
