据道琼斯伦敦6月9日消息,俄罗斯鲁克石油公司海外业务高级副总裁Gati Saadi Al-Jebouri周二表示,如果能够提供必要的投资,那么到2020年伊拉克有可能将石油产量提高至550万桶-600万桶/天。
伊拉克已经计划未来几年快速提高石油产量,但是低油价、安全问题和动作迟缓的官僚主义已经影响了产量提高计划。
近几周来,伊拉克高级政府官员已经不再谈论到2020年实现石油产量900万桶/天的极富野心的目标,并表示到2020年伊拉克石油产量可能达到600万桶/天。
然而Al-Jebouri表示,即便要达到这个目标,伊拉克仍需要大量的投资,未来4-5年至少需要100亿美元的投资。

Lukoil Sees Higher Iraq Oil Output if Investments Made
By Sarah Kent
LONDON--Iraq could ramp up its oil production to between 5.5 million and 6 million barrels a day by 2020 provided the necessary investment materializes, Lukoil Overseas Senior Vice President Gati Saadi Al-Jebouri said Tuesday.
Iraq has ambitions to rapidly increase its oil production in the coming years, but lower oil prices, security issues and a slow-moving bureaucracy have made progress choppy.
In recent weeks senior government officials have distanced themselves from an ambitions target of 9 million barrels a day by 2020, saying instead that the country may hit 6 million barrels a day by the end of the decade.
However, Mr. Al-Jebouri said that even to hit this level, significant investment is needed.
"A minimum of $10 billion needs to be invested over the next four and a half years," he said.
