Brent crude is used as a standard for pricing two-thirds of the world's oil production, and consists of an oil mixture of 15 different fields in Brent and Tenian (some of which are located in the United Kingdom and others in Norway), which produce about 500 thousand barrels per day.

And based on the differences between it and other raw materials, it is generally sold at a higher price than the OPEC oil basket.

And Iraq lost financial revenues of $ 11 billion, due to the low prices for selling oil in world markets, compared to prices that were prevailing in the same period last year.

This came, in an official statistic issued by the Somo National Company specialized in selling oil in May, in conjunction with the record price of crude sharp declines due to oversupply caused by the outbreak of the "Corona" pandemic worldwide.

The company said that "Iraq sold during the first four months of 202, approximately 409.96 million barrels of oil, at an average price of $ 38, with total revenue of $ 15.39 billion."

Iraq had sold during the first four months of last year, quantities of oil amounted to 423.28 million barrels, at an average price of $ 62, and revenues of $ 26.27 billion.

And Iraq's oil exports make up 98 percent of foreign currency flows to the country, with oil sales making up 45 percent of gross domestic product and 93 percent of public budget revenues.
