Iraqi oil wealth 'going untapped'

Iraq has known oil reserves of 116 billion barrels


Iraq's oil reserves are significantly untapped and daily production could be doubled within five years, a report has concluded.


Iraq is sitting on potential reserves of 100 billion barrels, nearly twice as much as currently estimated, according to a study by energy analysts IHS.


If these reserves were exploited, it said, Iraq could overtake Saudi Arabia as the world's top oil producer.


But a major improvement in security and investment was needed, it added.
