Five major oil fields in the Kurdistan Region — Sheikhan, Tawke, Peshkabour, Khurmala, and Sarsang — were targeted by drone attacks, halting around 50% of production, amounting to 145,000 barrels of oil per day.
Sheikhan Field, producing over 35,000 barrels/day, was shut down.
Tawke Field, producing 29,000 barrels/day, was hit and closed.
Peshkabour, with over 50,000 barrels/day, also suffered damage.
Sarsang, producing 30,000 barrels/day, was attacked on July 15, 2025, halting operations.
Khurmala, the largest with over 100,000 barrels/day, was attacked twice, damaging water pipelines.
These attacks severely impact Kurdistan’s oil sector — the backbone of its economy — and threaten regional security. Daily oil production has dropped from 280,000 to around 135,000 barrels. The perpetrators are unknown, though initial investigations hint at armed groups linked to foreign backers.
