ABU DHABI, December 21, 2014
The head of Iraq's state oil marketing body, Somo, said that he expected average December oil exports from Basra to top 2.6 million barrels per day (mbpd).
Falah Al Amiri was speaking to Reuters on the sidelines of a meeting of ministers of the Organisation of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (Oapec) in Abu Dhabi.
Exports from Basra, Iraq's main oil-exporting hub, often fluctuate widely because of weather or technical problems. In early November they were running at 2.4 mbpd, according to shipping sources. -- Reuters
