ABU DHABI, Jan 8 (Reuters) - Iraqi oil facilities are
secured and the country's production is continuing, OPEC's
Secretary General Mohammed Barkindo said on Wednesday.
"It's a big relief that the facilities continue to be
secured in Iraq, the production is continuing and effective,"
Barkindo said on the sidelines of a conference in Abu Dhabi,
He said he was optimistic Iraq would reach 100 percent
compliance with OPEC cuts in time, despite current tensions.
In a message to U.S. President Donald Trump, Barkindo said
the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC)
alone could not shoulder the responsibility of maintaining a
stable oil market.
