Hi Win Smith; Re: "Iraq never quite made it back to prewar production levels, and the recent trend for the last couple months recorded looks to be going in the wrong direction, but maybe it got better after June."

Here's some more recent data, along with prewar yearly figures:

 Iraq oil production
Millions of barrels per day
1987 2.09
1988 2.60
1989 2.81
1990 2.01
1991 0.30
1992 0.43
1993 0.48
1994 0.53
1995 0.55
1996 0.58
1997 1.15
1998 2.11
1999 2.52
2000 2.57
2001 2.36
2002 2.01

1Q03 2.12
2Q03 0.29
3Q03 1.07
4Q03 1.82
1Q04 2.11
2Q04 2.03

May04 2.06
Jun04 1.68
Jul04 1.99


So yes, July was better. I would guess that August and September figures will be bad, what with all the recent sabotage.
