伊拉克南方港口石油出口上升

Iraq’s oil exports from the southern ports rose to 3.230 million barrels per day (bpd) in August, from 3.202 million bpd in July, as crude production increased.The West Qurna 1 field, developed by Exxon Mobil, and South Oil’s Luhais and Artawi fields contributed most to the increase, they said.Iraq, Opec’s second-largest producer after Saudi Arabia, exports most of its crude from the southern fields. Increased supply is adding to a global glut of crude, putting pressure on oil prices.

Opec’s oil output is likely in August to reach its highest in recent history, a Reuters survey found on Wednesday, as extra barrels from Saudi Arabia and other Gulf members make up for losses in Nigeria and Libya.Exports from Iraq southern ports reached a record 3.37 million bpd in November last year, but was the result of an accumulation of crude that could not be exported in the previous month.
