Iraq Wants to More Than Double Its Oil Output in Six Years. Here's What It Means for Chevron.

Iraq aims to increase oil production to 8-10 million barrels per day within six years, more than doubling pre-war levels. Chevron signed memorandums of understanding to operate two major Iraqi oil fields—West Qurna 2 and Nassiriya—positioning it to play a crucial role in Iraq's expansion plans. While this presents significant long-term growth opportunities, it also exposes Chevron to geopolitical risks, particularly dependence on the Strait of Hormuz for exports.
