Oil output at Iraq’s giant Rumaila field remains reduced by 300,000 barrels a day after a fire last week, according to an official.
The timeline for a full recovery to previous levels of 1.2 million barrels a day is uncertain, said Mohammed Al-Najjar, Iraq’s national representative to OPEC. On Friday, the Oil Ministry reported it had extinguished the fire a few hours after it broke out at tank No. 2 at the DS5 station in North Rumaila.
