    Iraq Aims to Double Oil Output to 8-10 Million Barrels Per Day by 2032

    Question

    Iraq Aims to Double Oil Output to 8-10 Million Barrels Per Day by 2032

    Direct answer

    Iraq's ambitious production targets signal a potential challenge to OPEC+ quota discipline in the coming years. The involvement of Chevron indicates a return of major Western capital to Iraqi fields, which could accelerate technical recovery rates. If realized, this volume would make Iraq a peer to Saudi Arabia and Russia in terms of total output capacity.
