Iraq's oil production has recovered to levels that it last experienced in 1979 — the year before it went to war with Iran. The country is pumping more than three million barrels of oil a day for the first time in more than 30 years, a revival that could ease growing fears of a global supply crunch stoked by Iran, which have pushed crude prices to near-record levels. Hussein al-Shahristani, Iraq's Deputy Prime Minister, announced the breakthrough in Baghdad yesterday, saying that the current output compared with just below 2.7m barrels per day last year and a similar level last month. Mr al-Shahristani said that a big new floating oil terminal would begin operations this week, which would boost exports by 15%. India and other countries buying Iranian crude have said that they would switch to Iraqi supplies if they became available, The Times reports.
