On the 25th an Iraqi oil ministry official was reported to have said Iraq was “considering all options, including leaving OPEC” if its production quota is not substantially increased. The oil ministry issued a statement the same day saying those reports do not represent the government’s official position and that the prime minister and cabinet have not discussed exiting OPEC. The ministry said crude quotas should be reassessed based on each member’s sustainable production capacity, taking into account Iraq’s security and economic conditions, and that this stance is consistent with previously approved agreements.
