Russia's Gazprom Neft, the oil arm of state gas company Gazprom, said on July 17 that output at the Badra oilfield in Iraq had jumped 25 percent after it launched a fifth well.

The Gazprom Neft-led oilfield now produces around 35,000 barrels of oil per day, the company said, up from 27,000-28,000 bpd in June.
