Where does all the oil that is produced in Iraq being shipped?

There is nothing to talk about since, there is no oil being produced for exporting...and there is hardly any oil being produced for domestic consumption. \n\nBut, this may have more to do with the big oil companies than anything else. If Iraq were to begin producing and exporting oil, the price of oil would drop dramatically, since Iraq would be flooding the market with oil,and thus creating a greater supply, and thus reducing the demand, and thus, reducing the price.\n\nIf you ask me, every day that Iraq remains unstable, the oil companies jump for joy.\n\nS.T.

hello frnds.i fully agree that the iraqi war was all due 2 the oil rights.it had nothin 2 do with any nuclear weapons or weapons of mass destruction said 2 be possesed by iraq.it was just a rumour created by the greedy US politicians 2 justify their cause of attackin iraq and in the process gainin control over the iraqi oil wells.as such it has been 2 yrs since iraq has been under the control of the US.no weapons of mass destruction has been found uptil date.so it goes on 2 show the farce the US played.

Right now, none of it is exported. \n\nWhen the pipeline was constructed, there was a law that all the oil had to stay in the U.S.  In 1995, that law was rescinded, and through the late 90's, about 7%of the pipeline's output went to China and Japan.  That stopped in about 2000, and I don't think any Alaskan oil has been exported since.

True, in the sense that we're only in Iraq to suck every drop of OIL out of that country's sands.        -RKO-

In 2004 US imported 2400 barrels of oil a day from the Persian Gulf.  Approximately 25% of the year's total.

It's all about the oil rights... Saudia Arabia was created by Standard oil of California in 1928. So now we need more oil and Iraq has the next largest reserves.

I know that it's hard to understand.  Why President Bush, if he claims that Iraq has nuclear weapons, won't go to places like China or North Korea.  But the reason is because those poor countries don't have oil.

the US gets it's oil from  OPEC ( Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countires). This includes Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq and many other middle eastern countires. \nSOme of the oil does come from the south ( texas for example). As to prices google it.

Poltical instability in the middle East is a cause for higher gas prices. It's ironic that Iraq is one of the least expensive places to buy gas in the world. The oil companies can't just jack up prices whenever they want, regardless of what you may have heard.

It all comes down to oil,if you want a bottom line.\nMost of the world's oil comes from the Middle East,which\nhas placed the West at a disadvantage for decades.\nAn American-supported Iraqi government would do much to shift the balance of power in the region in theory.\nIn practice maybe it'll turn out the U.S. should just have kept it's soldiers out of that part of the world,if this whole thing backfires.

Iraq? Is that in California?

Islamic countries have oil. Big transnational companies need oil so they bribe some western governments to produce lame excuses and terrorize the western public so that they can steal away oil, just like in Iraq.

Yes they are right. The prices are determained by the future supply and demand of oil.  Iraq is not why they are high.  It is by the increase in world demand with supply shrinking.  Mainly do to emerging economies of India and China.  THe govt regualating anything would make it worse.

Nukes. Was that the real reason or the one they gave you? How old are you? The real reason for going to Iraq was for oil.
