Iraq has earned some $7.764 billion from oil sales in April, compared with $7.772 billion earned the previous month, the Iraqi oil ministry said in a statement Wednesday.

It said that Iraq sold its crude oil in April at an average price of $98.705 a barrel, compared with $103.765 a barrel in March.

Iraq 's crude oil exports in April were up 8.4% to 2.622 million barrels a day from 2.417 million barrels a day in March, the ministry said.

Despite the increase in Iraq 's crude oil exports in April, revenue was less than the previous month due to a decrease in oil prices.
