Iraq: Government Struggles To Revive Oil Infrastructure

While it appears that the government has a short-term plan to address the crisis, it remains unclear whether Iraq has a plan to meet the country’s long-term oil needs.

Much will depend on the state of security in the coming months. According to recent press reports, the Oil Ministry intends to bring several new refineries online, while continuing to increase imports of refined products. Output has been a recurring problem due to dilapidated equipment and repeated insurgent attacks.
