Shafaq News- Baghdad<\/p>\n

Iraq produced about 302 million barrels of oil in the first
\nquarter of 2026, the Eco Iraq Observatory said on Sunday, urging authorities to
\ndiversify export routes beyond reliance on Gulf shipping.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the observatory said output reached around
\n4.157 million barrels per day in January and rose to 4.188 million barrels per
\nday in February, before dropping sharply in March to about 1.625 million
\nbarrels per day.<\/p>\n

It warned that reliance on a single export corridor exposes
\nIraq to geopolitical risks and proposed reviving the New Levant route as an
\nalternative to expand outlets, boost flexibility during crises, and ensure
\nsteady supply to global markets, especially during regional tensions.<\/p>\n

Iraq\u2019s oil output fell<\/a> from 4.3 million to 1.3 million
\nbarrels per day amid disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, cutting exports to
\nbelow 800,000 barrels per day and causing losses of about $128 million daily.
\nDespite this, officials say the impact remains contained, supported by
\ngovernment subsidies and foreign reserves of around $100 billion.<\/p>\n
