Iraqi December output dips, exports climb

摘要

Amman-Iraq’s crude oil production fell to 2.386 million b/d in December, down 48,000 b/d from November, due to declining output from southern fields, Iraqi oil ministry figures obtained by Platts showed January 16. Exports, however, rose by 54,000 b/d on the month, according to the figures. Iraqi oil production has been below 2.5 million b/d since August last year, when production averaged 2.538 million b/d.
