Oil Minister Jabar al-Luaibi said Iraq plans to increase production from oilfields in Kirkuk to one million barrels per day and has visited the Bai Hasan and Avana fields to order work be accelerated to restore operations soon, the ministry’s spokesman said on Monday. Exports from oilfields in Kirkuk have been on hold since Iraqi forces took back control of them from the Kurds last month.
