据3月25日Neftegaz.RU.报道，伊拉克政府宣布，世界上最大的石油服务公司斯伦贝谢赢得了一项价值4.8亿美元的协议，将为伊拉克巴士拉石油公司和埃克森美孚公司在伊拉克南部钻探96口油井。
伊拉克计划增加埃克森美孚运营的West Qurna-1号油田的产能。该油田是世界上最大的油田之一，预计可采储量超过200亿桶。
2019年，在新的原油加工设施和油罐建成后，该油田的产量达到46.5万桶/天。
鉴于伊拉克是欧佩克第二大产油国，95%的石油出口几乎是其国家预算的全部来源，发展石油产业一直是重中之重。
2018年，伊拉克与斯伦贝谢达成协议，将在Majnoon油田钻探40口油井。该公司还与伊拉克West Qurna油田的30口井签订了为期42个月的综合钻井服务合同。
在低油价环境下，伊拉克在2020年的大部分时间里都在努力遵守欧佩克+的减产配额规定，疫情和金融危机困扰着这个国家。
根据伊拉克石油部的统计数据，在受到疫情、地缘政治危机以及低油价拖累之后，伊拉克正显示出复苏的迹象，1月份出口量达到286.8万桶/天，达到53美元/桶。
