Iraq oil production surged to more than 2 million barrels a day in January Iraq's Oil Minister said Tuesday on the sidelines of a Middle East energy event at London's Chatham House.

"(Output) was about 2.4 million barrels a day for January and our exports were just under 2 million barrels a day," said Iraq's Oil Minister Hussein al-Shahristani. "That's a record since the fall of the regime."

Lifting from the Ceyhan pipeline in January accounted for 11 million barrels, he said.

Shahristani said production from the Kirkuk oil fields was currently at around 550,000 barrels a day but "we expect to take it up to 600,000 barrels a day shortly."
