Oil production in Iraq’s Kurdistan region continues to drop as export flows to Turkey’s Ceyhan port show few signs of restarting after a stoppage that has lasted almost two months.

The 4,500 barrel per day (bpd) Taq Taq field is no longer producing into storage, a spokesperson at operator Genel Energy said.

The Khurmala field is now producing at around 50,000 bpd, according to a source familiar with field operations.

This is a reduction from 100,000 bpd a month ago, and 135,000 bpd before the pipeline halt.
