During the 33rd OPEC and non-OPEC Ministerial Meeting, which was held Oct. 5 at the OPEC headquarters in Vienna, Austria, the 23 member states decided to decrease oil production.
According to the Oct. 5 agreement by OPEC+ — 13 OPEC members and 10 of the world's major non-OPEC oil-exporting nations — Iraq's share would be reduced by 220,000 barrels per day from the planned production level within OPEC, which amounts to 4.651 million barrels per day.
