Iraqi oil facilities are secured and the country’s production is continuing, the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, OPEC’s Secretary General Mohammed Barkindo said on Wednesday.
“It’s a big relief that the facilities continue to be secured in Iraq, the production is continuing and effective,” Barkindo said on the sidelines of a conference in Abu Dhabi.
He said he was optimistic Iraq would reach 100 percent compliance with OPEC cuts in time, despite current tensions.
In a message to U.S. President Donald Trump, Barkindo said OPEC alone could not shoulder the responsibility of maintaining a stable oil market.
