Iraq will make three new suggestions at a meeting in Vienna of OPEC oil ministers at the end of the November to implement an agreement to restrain crude supply in order to push up prices.
Iran has begun first oil production from North Yaran field shared with Iraq after years of delay. The development manager of the field, Arash Baqerzadeh, said that the production from the field has begun with 30,000b/d.
The Egyptian Minister of Petroleum, Tarek El Molla, signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to import oil from Iraq. This agreement comes after Aramco halted its oil shipment to Egypt.
Crude oil output in OPEC reached a new record of 33.64mb/d during September, causing crude oil prices to drop back down after reaching above $53 per barrel as a result of reports that OPEC had agreed to curb production.
