Iraq ‘s oil exports rise to record levels

Twilight News - Iraq’s crude exports from southern Basra ports rose to a record high of 3.535 million bpd in December from 3.5 million barrels a month earlier, oil officials said on Monday.

Southern exports are rising as Iraq seeks to offset shipments from the northern Kirkuk fields in mid-October after Iraqi forces regained control of the fields from Kurdish forces.

Most of the Iraqi crude is exported via the southern ports.
