Calls for the expansion of the movement of gas exploration in the Western Region


 Baghdad / Zahraa Al-Jassem

Specialists have long talked about the need for Iraq to develop a special strategy to build a specialized industry of natural gas after entering the area Alastosmarfait race, in order to be qualified for the production of this natural wealth and self - sufficiency of them and even export and obtain substantial financial returns. And calling for the Committee on Energy Parliamentary to expand the exploration of movement in this area, especially in the western region of Iraq, confirms the Ministry of Oil continued its quest to activate this side, saying it would resume work on a crutch in the western region if security stability there, at a time when aspiring to achieve self - sufficiency liquid gas condensate , which will reach its good rates after two years 2018 and 2019
and began the gas industry in Iraq in 1961 , the construction of a station in Basra, and successively development to 1977 , the establishment of a number of stations for gas investment, to be after the establishment of gas plants to supply cement and power plants.
Next conflict on the region 's energy resources will be concentrated on gas , as experts predict. Iraq , although the reserves of gas is not large, but it is hoped to activate exploration in the western region , the movement of the possibility of a reservoir gas at depths according to the opinion of the Committee on Parliamentary Energy member Ibrahim Bahr al- Ulum, who also confirms that what is owned by Iraq's gas reserves , proven mostly gas attendant, a produces about 3000 million cubic feet per day, but it invests an average of about one - third, so it is hoped that the investment to 2,000 million cubic feet rates up at the end of the decade.
Says Bahr al- Ulum said in an interview for "(to the extent), it was Basra gas project with the participation of Shell and Miciobaishe company , which began a year and a half ago to invest the associated gas from the southern fields of gas, and are now gas treatment for dry gas , liquid gas and condensate, Iraq has managed to stop importing liquid gas , but began the export of liquid and gas condensate, note that the project faced some obstacles over the years, and lagged South gas , which owns 51% of the Basra gas company in the payment of bills owed by the foreign partner because of the financial situation we are experiencing, Mstrsla: all if still a need to meet Of the needs of the generation of electricity from the dry gas stations, and there is a need to import gas from neighboring countries , especially that Iraq was adopted in electric power generation on gas stations.
Says economist Durgham expert Muhammad Ali: Iraq now in the process of gas investment associated in a number of fields in the main invested previously, the paragraph was added gas investment associated with the licensing rounds in the assignments of green fields that were part of the second licensing round, and has not been the three gas fields that have been referred in the third round of licenses that are Mansuriyah fields Saybah crutch until now despite the lapse of several years Li referral, and it did not attract the patches where the reservoirs of gas possibilities desire of companies to invest , unlike patches of oil possibilities exist, so it is expected sufficiency of Iraq and gas export reasonable quantities of it if invested fields gas discovered, and Iraq will become the export world map if it was the development of a patch of exploration and new installation of proven reserves
but a spokesman for the oil Ministry , Assem Jihad , he emphasizes, that the Western Sahara , a promising gas wealth in the ground, and Iraqi gas wealth is utilized through the two axes, the first is the associated gas is more N the gas in the ground and thus being invested on a large scale, while the gas in the ground The Ministry of Oil has sought and seeks to develop and invest "Akkas" field in the western region , which is one of the big promising fields within the existing in the ground for this field reserve, has won for its development Korean company "Kogas" but the events that took place in those areas after the occupation Daesh have disrupted the project, but the ministry is now seeking to resume work after achieving security and stability.
He adds Jihad in an interview for "(to the extent) ,: he is part of the ministry 's plan to invest the optimal gas located in the ground after the stabilization of the security situation in those areas is the intensification of exploratory work in this area in order to discover more exploratory patches of structures" hydrocarbon "whether oil or gas, the fact that previous surveys show that this region is rich to contain quantities of gas, continuing: in the other axis, the ministry is continuing to invest the associated oil gas operations , both rounds of licensing contracts or through the Basra gas company and has achieved Iraq 's progress in this regard, thus We seek to achieve Self - sufficiency of liquid gas condensate and also liquid gas export , as we aspire to get to the good rates achieved abundant quantities good after the year 2018 and 2019, from gas to electric power plants and there is another project associated one of the factories "petrochemical" and aspiring oil ministry that be the largest factory "of Petrokmaoyat" this is also linked to the process of the development of the gas sector.
offered to the Ministry of oil in May 2010, the three gas fields to foreign investment , a Mansuriyah and Siba crutch, to be companies that will develop the oil fields are obliged to prevent the burning of any quantity of gas associated with oil, It is also committed to building Manesh T for the manufacture of associated gas, and handed over to Iraq without charge.
