Basra Oil Company directed operators at West Qurna/2 to suspend pumping entirely and cut production to 50,000 barrels per day effective midnight on June 23, citing the continued absence of available tankers under an ongoing force majeure condition.
According to an internal company document received by Shafaq News, the directive ordered a 100 percent suspension of pumping operations and instructed field operators to store remaining output in on-site tanks. No resumption timeline was specified in the document.
West Qurna/2 is one of Iraq's largest oilfields, located approximately 65 kilometers northwest of Basra in southern Iraq, producing around 460,000 to 480,000 barrels per day and holding an estimated 14 billion barrels of recoverable reserves. The field accounts for nearly 9 percent of Iraq's total crude output.
