Iraq plans to add capacity next year to produce 300,000 barrels of oil a day, Minister Hussain al-Shahristani said.

The country, the only OPEC member not subject to production quotas, also will present a draft agreement to the Iraqi cabinet for a gas joint venture with Royal Dutch Shell Plc by the end of the year, al-Shahristani told reporters today before the beginning of closed-door talks.
