Iraqui oil output declining :

07/10 Iraqi Crude Oil Exports Likely to Fall in July, MEES Reports

London, July 10 ( Bloomberg ) -- Iraqi crude oil exports under

a United Nations-sponsored oil-for-aid program fell by 500,000

barrels a day to 1.94 million in June and are likely to post a

similar decline for at least the first two weeks of July, the

Middle East Economic Survey reported, citing oil traders. Reasons

for the decline, which comes against a background of rising Iraqi

oil production capacity, include Iraq's delay in signing the

agreement to roll over the previous phase of the oil-for-aid

program and low demand for so-called sour crude oil of the type

Iraq produces, MEES said. Pressure on sour crude prices could

increase if Saudi Arabia proceeds with its plan to raise output by

500,000 barrels a day because most of that will be sour crude, the

Nicosia-based weekly said.

Iraq, the fourth-largest crude oil producer in the

Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, doesn't participate

in the group's agreements on output levels.
