According to Iraqi oil official Muhannad Abbas, production at the Zubair field has grown as a result of the completion of new oil processing facility,
Three additional processing facilities are due to be added to the site in order to increase Zubair's production capacity to 625,000 bpd, added Abbas.
In addition to processing developments, Iraq is also seeking to increase its refining capacity to become self-sufficient in oil products. The Ministry of Oil has requested investors for bids by June 14 to build a 100,000 bpd refinery in Kut, south of Baghdad.
