    OPEC Cut Impact on Iraq: A Bleak Prospect

    Analyzing December 2016 data prompts three disturbing remarks:

    • First, there is more than 128% difference between what the Minister of Oil and the DG of SOMO said on how much Iraq should cut its production to comply with OPEC requirements*;
    • Second, the breakeven Iraqi export oil price should be at least $48.37/b sustained during the first half of 2017 to compensate OPEC production cut burden;
    • Third, there is a possibility that the magnitude of OPEC cut could prevent Iraq from attaining the export threshold adopted by Budget Law 2017, leading to increasing the breakeven price further to a minimum of $49.40/b.

    So far, the Ministry of Oil did not outline, formally and publically, how it could deal with OPEC cut; worst still there is very significant and disturbing divergence on even how much cut has to be done: 210kbd or 479kbd!
    Furthermore, by keeping silent, irresponsive, preventing the publication and disclosure of any related data (except for foreign media) and completely non-transparent could only make things difficult for Iraqi citizens to know what is going on regarding this vital matter; and surely they are entitled to ask who should be held accountable for this mismanagement of their natural resource!
