Following the recapture of Shargat and Qayyarah – two oil-rich towns in northern Iraq – by the Iraqi army, the Islamic State (ISIS) no longer holds an oil well in Iraq, forcing the terrorist group to rely on other resources as it suffers from a lack of fuel. For the past two years, ISIS operated several oil wells in Iraq, selling some of the oil as well as using it to fulfill their internal needs.
