“ Iraq's crude exports averaged 2.324 million barrels per day in July by a slight decline from 2,328 million barrels per day in June,” the spokesman for the Oil Ministry, Assem Jihad, said in a statement to Reuters briefed by “Shafaq News”.

Jihad explained that about 2.144 million barrels per day have been exported from the ports of Basra and the rest of the Kirkuk oilfields, including 12 thousand barrels a day sent to Jordan by trucks.

The average sales price in June reached 101 $ and revenue of 7.3 billion$.

The decline in exports is the third on a raw where May exports amounted to 2.484 million barrels per day and 2.62 million barrels per day for April.

The exports were affected severely by the continued stop in pumping from the Kirkuk oilfields to the Turkish port of Ceyhan on the Mediterranean because of the attacks and leak in pipelines.

Since 21 of last June, Iraqi oil pipeline to Turkey were not pumped only for a limited days.

Iraq had decided to export of 2.9 million barrels a day, according to what it has insert in the country's financial budget for the current year.
