Iraq has reduced its oil production by 160,000 barrels a day as it starts to make the cuts it agreed to in a deal with other OPEC members last year. OPEC’s second-biggest producer hopes to meet its full cut of 210,000 barrels a day by the end of this month, Oil Minister Jabbar Al-Luaibi said by text message. Production is being cut from fields operated by the federal government, he said, rather than from fields run by international oil companies or from the Kurdish region in northern Iraq.
