Iraq Aims for Oil Production Capacity Doubling

Iraq's Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi has announced plans to double the country's crude oil production capacity to 10 million barrels per day. This ambitious goal was revealed during a meeting with representatives from prominent French companies on September 14, 2026.

The current oil production capacity in Iraq is unclear, but doubling it to 10 million bpd would be a significant increase. This move could have far-reaching implications for the global energy market and Iraq's economy.
