LONDON, Jan 6 (Reuters) - Iraq produced 4.23 million barrels per day (bpd) of oil in December, up by 17,000 bpd from November, according to production data from Iraqi state-owned marketer SOMO seen by Reuters on Thursday.

The production figure includes output from Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdistan region, which produced 406,000 bpd last month, the data showed.
