Iraq doesn't seem to have that much oil either, at the moment and for

Actually, quite a bit. Production is now close to pre-war levels: 2.5
BILLION barrels a day, of which 1.9 billion barrels is exported. The
production by year-end could be above its 1991 levels and bumping up
against its then-OPEC quota.

You misspelled "million."

If they were producing over a billion barrels a day, they'd empty out
all known reserves by July.
