NASSIRIYA - Iraq is taking advantage of high global oil prices and its increasing OPEC-plus quota by ramping up production from three oil fields in Dhi Qar province.
Output from the Gharraf oil field has jumped by 20,000 barrels per day (bpd) in the past month, and the state-run Dhi Qar Oil Company (DQOC) is bringing the Subba field back after more than two years offline. A new drilling program has also started at the Nassiriya field.
