據能源經濟1月12日消息稱，一位伊拉克石油消息人士稱，在海灣港口完成泵站安裝后，歐佩克的第二大石油生產國將能夠從第二季起將石油日出口量增加多達25萬桶。

該消息人士稱，這一升級工作解釋了為什么伊拉克在過去一年中提高了對產量目標的遵守程度。伊拉克長期以來一直在歐佩克生產配額之外生產石油。升級本可以阻止該國加大產量。

伊拉克國家石油營銷組織(SOMO)從巴士拉南部港口出口了370萬桶/天，但由于需要修復老化的出口基礎設施，伊拉克從2020年5月開始進行升級工作，因此削減了南部港口的出口。

疫情導致的油價暴跌和伊拉克嚴格的監管導致由國有巴士拉石油公司 (BOC) 運營的項目推遲。

伊拉克石油部的一位消息人士告訴路透社，為提高巴士拉的出口能力而安裝新泵站的工作在2021年的大部分時間里都在進行。

該消息人士稱，他們的啟動將使巴士拉的運營原油出口能力從目前的320萬桶/天增加到340萬- 345萬桶/天，目標日期為第二季度。

Iraq to boost southern oil export capacity from second quarter

OPEC's second-largest oil producer, will be able to boost exports by as much as 250,000 barrels per day (bpd) from the second quarter after finishing the installation of pumping stations at its Gulf ports, an Iraqi oil source said.

The upgrade work explains why Iraq, which had long pumped above its OPEC production quota, has improved compliance with output targets over the past year, the source said. Upgrades would have prevented the country from pumping larger volumes.

Iraq's State Oil Marketing Organisation (SOMO) had exported as much as 3.7 million bpd from its southern ports in Basra, but the need to rehabilitate aging export infrastructure forced Iraq to reduce southern exports when upgrade work began from May 2020.

The pandemic-driven slump in oil prices and tight Iraqi regulations resulted in delays to the projects, which were run by state-owned Basra Oil Co (BOC).

Work to install new pumping stations to boost export capacity from Basra took place for most of 2021, an Iraqi oil ministry source told Reuters.

Their start-up will increase Basra's operational crude export capacity to 3.40 million-3.45 million bpd from 3.20 million bpd currently, with a target date of the second quarter, the source said.
