Iraq's southern oil exports average 3.42 mln bpd so far in July - officials

Iraq's oil exports from its southern ports have reached 3.42 million barrels per day (BPD) so far in July, two oil officials told Reuters on Monday.

Exports from its southern Basra terminals fell to 3.39 million BPD in June from 3.441 million BPD in the previous month.

Officials said repair works at a section of a marine pipeline in the Gulf which transports crude oil to the Basra ports slowed shipments for three days in mid-June.
