Iraq’s Oil Exports Remain Steady Last 10 Months


Iraq’s Oil Ministry released incomplete statistics for its February oil exports. What it did reveal was that exports were up from January but revenues were down because February is the shortest month of the year.

 

In February Iraq exported an average of 3.434 million barrels of oil per day. That was up from January’s 3.339 million. From July to December 2023 the country was selling 3.4 million barrels or more per month.

 

Iraq has agreed to follow a new set of export quotas by OPEC+ so it’s an open question whether exports will be maintained or dip in the coming months.

 

No information was given about Iraq’s revenues for the month. Iraq Oil Report estimated that the country made around $7.6 billion. That was below $8.026 billion January but that was because February has fewer days.
