Dozens of U.S. citizens working for foreign oil companies in the southern Iraqi oil city of Basra are leaving the country after U.S. air strike, the Oil Ministry said
BASRA, Iraq - U.S. citizens working for foreign oil companies in the southern Iraqi oil city of Basra were leaving the country on Friday, the Oil Ministry said, after a U.S. air strike killed a top Iranian commander in Iraq.
Iraqi officials said the evacuation would not affect oil operations, production or exports from the country, the second-biggest producer in the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries with output of about 4.62 million barrels per day , according to a Reuters survey of OPEC output. Some were traveling to Dubai on airline FlyDubai and others were checking in at the Qatar airways counter.
Italian energy group Eni said the Zubair oil field, which produced around 475,000 bpd in 2018, was “proceeding regularly”, adding it was closely monitoring the situation.
