Iraq has boosted its crude oil export capacity to more than 3 million barrels per day (bpd) and plans to raise it to 5 million as it develops new routes away from the Strait of Hormuz, Oil Minister Basim Mohammed Khudair said on Sept. 5.
Khudair told the official Iraqi News Agency (INA) that exports have reached around 3 million bpd since the start of September.
