"Despite all the difficulties and issues, we managed to achieve desired goals in 2021... and to maintain an average volume of oil production at 1.206 million barrels per day," Sanalla said at a press conference. Sanalla highlighted that the total volume of crude oil delivered to ports in 2021 was over 440 million barrels, a growth of 310% from 140 million barrels in 2020. The NOC is determined to maintain average daily volumes at the level of 1.2 million barrels in 2022, and is ready to exceed this number in the event of additional funding, the chairman said. The necessity of conducting maintenance at several oil fields has resulted in a decrease of average daily output to 940,000 barrels per day in January 2022, according to the NOC's data.
