Iraq<\/span><\/h2>\n

Earlier this week, the Iraqi Kurdish troops known as Peshmerga have regained the Mosul dam, the nation\u2019s largest dam from the rebels, after the US dispatched airstrikes against the Sunni militants. The Kurdish fighters are aiming to reverse gains made by the rebels since capturing the city of Mosul in June.<\/p>\n

The conflict in Iraq, the second-biggest producer in the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), has spared the southern region of the country, the base of almost three-quarters of the country\u2019s crude production. According to the Bloomberg, the nation produced 3 million barrels a day in July.<\/p>\n

In Libya, the nation\u2019s crude production rose to 562,000 barrels per day on Tuesday from 535,000 per day recorded on the weekend, the spokesman for National Oil Corp said.<\/p>\n
