Oil storage facilities Iraq’s oil output in Kurdistan is set to increase when Norway’s DNO completes its plans to add four new wells in the Tawke field. The company has already completed three wells and drilling the last one, which should come online next week. The four wells will add 10 percent to the daily production capacity of the field, DNO said. In the third quarter of the year, output from Tawke averaged 109,000 barrels of crude daily.
