伊拉克计划在未来几年里增加更多的原油产能

伊拉克石油部长加德班周三在维也纳对采访他的媒体记者说：“伊拉克现在能够日产500万桶原油，伊拉克计划在未来几年里增加更多的原油产能，但伊拉克会努力坚持其配额451万桶的欧佩克 +减产协议，尽管伊拉克过去几个月没有遵守协议的有关规定。”

将出席周四和周五在维也纳举行的欧佩克会议的加德班对记者表示：“实际产量将与我们的(配额)一致。我们将尽最大努力尊重我们在欧佩克和欧佩克+协议以及合作宪章中的承诺。“

根据该协议，伊拉克直到3月份恶劣天气影响其波斯湾港口的装载量时才接近减产规定。根据欧佩克对跟踪成员国产量使用的二手资料来源的平均数据，伊拉克10月份的石油日产量为469万桶。

当被问及伊拉克何时计划将石油产量降至上限时，加德班表示：“我希望很快。”

Iraq plans to add crude production capacity

Iraq can currently produce up to 5 million b/d of crude, with plans to add more capacity in the coming years, but will try to hold to its quota of 4.51 million b/d under the OPEC+ supply accord despite months of non-compliance, oil minister Thamir al-Ghadhban said Wednesday.

"Actual production is going to be in line with our [quota]," Ghadhban told reporters in Vienna, where he will participate in OPEC+ talks Thursday and Friday. "We are going to do our best to respect our commitment within the OPEC and OPEC+ agreement and the charter of cooperation."

Iraq has consistently flouted its production quota under the deal, coming close only in March when bad weather affected loadings at its Persian Gulf port. It pumped 4.69 million b/d in October, according to an average of the six secondary sources used by OPEC to track member output.

Asked when Iraq plans to bring its production down in line with its cap, Ghadhban said: "Very soon, I hope."
