據世界石油11月27日報道，歐佩克第二大產油國伊拉克計劃從明年開始增加其南部港口的石油出口能力，到2025年每天增加100萬至150萬桶。

伊拉克駐OPEC代表、國有石油營銷公司SOMO的副總干事穆罕默德·薩頓在伊拉克電視臺（Iraqiya TV）的采訪中表示，該項目涉及修復南部Khor Al Amaya港口和海洋管道。

他表示，從明年開始，南方港口的日出口能力將增加15萬至25萬桶。根據伊拉克石油部的數據顯示，今年10月，伊拉克南部港口的日出口量為329.3萬桶。

在經歷了數十年的戰(zhàn)亂、制裁和武裝分子襲擊之后，伊拉克正試圖增加石油收入，并吸引全球公司在該國開展業(yè)務。薩頓表示，石油輸出國組織及其盟友上個月決定的減產不會影響伊拉克的石油出口。今年迄今為止，伊拉克的石油銷售均價為每桶97美元。

據薩頓稱，該國石油部還在推進到2028年將石油日產量提高到500萬至550萬桶的計劃。

Iraq plans to start expanding oil export capacity from next year

Iraq, OPEC’s second largest producer, plans to start increasing oil export capacity from its southern ports from next year to add a total of 1 million to 1.5 million barrels a day by 2025, according to its OPEC delegate.

The project involves rehabilitating the southern Khor Al-Amaya port and marine pipelines, Mohammed Saadoon, Iraq’s national representative at OPEC and a deputy director general of the state-run oil marketing company known as SOMO, said in an interview on state-run Iraqiya TV.

Export capacity from southern ports is due to increase between 150,000-250,000 barrels a day from next year, he said. Iraq exported 3.293 million barrels a day from its southern ports in October, according to the oil ministry.

Iraq is trying to boost revenue from oil and entice global companies to work in the country after decades of turmoil marked by wars, sanctions and militant attacks. The output cuts decided by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and their allies last month won’t affect Iraq’s oil exports, Saadoon said.

Iraq’s oil sales price has averaged $97 a barrel so far this year, he said.

The oil ministry is also pursuing plans to boost oil production to 5 million-5.5 million barrels a day by 2028, Saadoon said. The country produces 4.652 million barrels a day, Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani said on November 12.
