Iraq's crude oil production has surpassed the significant milestone of 4 million barrels per day, according to the latest data updated on 2 October 2025. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) reported that the country's output currently stands at 4.01 million barrels per day, a notable increase from the previous level of 3.90 million barrels per day.
This increase marks a pivotal moment for Iraq as it continues to assert its role as a key player in the global energy market. The 110,000-barrel rise in production illustrates the country's ongoing commitment to enhancing its oil production capabilities amid fluctuating global energy demands.
As one of the largest producers within OPEC, Iraq's boosted output can have significant implications for the worldwide oil sector, especially in the face of shifting energy policies and sustainability efforts. The United States, a major consumer of Iraqi crude, along with other nations, will likely be closely monitoring these developments as they navigate the complexities of global energy markets and economic strategies.
