Iraq's current production levels are far below it's pre-Desert Storm quota, which was 3.2 million barrels per day, and also below the 2 million barrel per day amount allowed under "Oil-for-Food". They eventually want to ramp up to 6-8 million barrels per day.

OPEC nations frequently exceed their quotas, which are voluntary. There is no hard enforcement mechanism to keep the member nations in line.

Thanks for the info. Maybe they'll be able to produce 10-15 MB/d. And screw OPEC like a cheap light bulb. Russia stands poised to do the same.
