Rumaila Oil Production Down following Fire

By John Lee.

Oil output at Iraq's Rumaila oilfield is reportedly down by 300,000 barrels-per-day (bpd) following a fire last week.

The fire is said to have occurred in a decommissioned storage tank at the field's fifth gas separation station (DS5) in northern Rumaila.

It was not reported when the field is expected to be back in full production.
