Iraq is OPEC’s second-largest oil producer in a month.

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) released oil production data for August 2025, showing that Iraq ranked second among the organization’s largest oil producers.

OPEC said that Saudi Arabia maintained its position as the largest oil producer among member states, with production reaching 9.709 million barrels per day.

Iraq ranked second, producing 4.015 million barrels per day, reflecting its continued prominent role within the organization in meeting global oil demand.

In third place, the UAE recorded production of 3.255 million barrels per day, followed by Iran with 3.218 million barrels per day, and then Kuwait with 2.492 million barrels per day.

Nigeria followed with 1.549 million barrels per day, followed by Libya with 1.299 million barrels per day, followed by Algeria with 940 thousand barrels per day, followed by Venezuela with 936 thousand barrels per day, followed by the Congo with 259 thousand barrels per day.

The report indicates that OPEC oil production has maintained relatively stable levels, with significant variations among member states due to differences in production capacities and production policies.

Oil remains a key factor in the global economy, directly impacting financial markets and energy prices. OPEC member states seek to balance production to maintain price stability in the international market.
