Oil price is $119.70 per barrel. With Iraq’s low extraction costs, they are raking in the bucks. This means a 2 million barrel supertanker holds about $240,000,000 worth of oil. Nice pocket change. Iraq exports 4.6 million barrels per day, or 2.3 supertankers worth per day, for a daily take of about $550 million per day. A pretty nice haul, at an extraction cost of about 3%. Plenty of profit to go around.
