Shafaq News/ The exports of south Iraqi ports hit 3.42 million bpd since the start of July, two oil officials told Reuters on Monday.

Exports from Basra ports south of Iraq fell to 3.39 million bpd in June from 3.441 million bpd in the previous month.

Reforms in part of a Gulf pipeline carrying crude oil to Basra ports slowed deliveries for three days in mid-June, officials said.
