Iraq’s oil production moved sharply higher in June, with a monthly increase of 153,000 barrels per day (bpd) taking output to 4.62 million bpd, the highest since February 2020, according to field-by-field data compiled by Iraq Oil Report.*
Nationwide exports also increased, to 3.746 million bpd, up from 3.729 million bpd in May** — with a large increase in federal exports offsetting a slight decline in oil sales by the semi-autonomous Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG).
