Here is the estimated daily oil production in the Kurdistan Region as of January 2025:

While none of the revenues go to the KRG treasury, this has become a significant point of contention, particularly because none of the funds are transferred to the Iraqi government as required by the budget law. The KRG claims that 45% of the revenue is allocated to production costs paid to foreign oil companies, but the fate of the remaining 55% remains unclear.
