SULAIMANI — Oil Minister Hayan Abdul-Ghani said on Sunday (March 19) Iraq will abide by an OPEC+ agreement for daily oil production.

Abdul-Ghani said Iraq will reduce oil production by 220,000 barrels per day in accordance with the OPEC+ agreement.

He said the country can increase oil production if the OPEC+ members agree.

Some companies in the Kurdistan Region have been forced to reduce oil production to meet the agreement, Abdul-Ghan said.

The Secretary General of OPEC, Haitham al-Ghais, arrived in Baghdad on Sunday to meet with Iraqi officials.

The top oil producers in the group agreed to reduce oil production by 2 million barrels per day from November, 2022.
