Iraqi oil exports fall as OPEC scrutiny rises
Countrywide exports of 3.143 million bpd suggest Iraq has reduced output, with OPEC-plus members insisting on full quota compliance as they consider extending cuts.

Nationwide oil exports fell by about 134,000 barrels per day (bpd) in November, as Iraq appeared to cut back toward its OPEC quota obligations after a big output increase in October.
The federal Oil Ministry said* it averaged 2.709 million bpd in exports for the month, down from 2.876 million bpd in October. The semi-autonomous Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) posted 435,000 bpd in independent oil sales, according to an industry official, up from 401,000 bpd the previous month.
