Record Oil Production set to Increase
Iraq produced a record of around 4 million barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil in December, Oil Minister Adel Abdel Mehdi (pictured) told a press conference on Sunday.
This beat the previous record for Iraqi production of 3.56 million bpd in 1979, according to an official from the State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO).
The Minister went on to reveal plans to export 375,000 bpd for the first three months of 2015 from Kirkuk and the Kurdistan region, increasing to 600,000 bpd from April.
