Baghdad/ Al Noor News
Despite Iraq’s success in developing its oil fields a decade after the start of licensing round contracts with international companies, the issue of investing gas that is burned in Iraqi fields represented a real problem for the state, whether economically with a bill of more than five billion dollars annually, or environmentally with Its negative effects, especially in the city of Basra, where, according to the estimates of the Parliamentary Oil Committee and the Iraqi Ministry of Planning, is burned annually, amounting to about 18 billion cubic meters of gas.
Last month, Iraqi Oil Minister Ihsan Abdul-Jabbar announced an investment of $3 billion in gas production in Basra, in the south of the country, over the next five years.
According to the plan announced by Abdul-Jabbar, the approved investment plan aims to add 1.4 billion cubic feet of associated gas per day, which will provide about two thousand job positions during the period of its implementation.

Huge stocks
Iraq's current production of associated natural gas is 2.7 billion cubic feet per day, and it aims to reach 3.1 billion cubic feet.
According to previous estimates, Iraq has a stockpile of 132 trillion cubic feet of gas, 700 billion cubic feet of which were burned, as a result of the poor ability to exploit it.
Iraq still imports gas from Iran, through two pipelines, at a rate of about 20 million cubic feet per day, to operate the country's electric power plants, while the country's need is about 70 million cubic feet per day.
The gas map to Iraq indicates that there are several projects under implementation, most notably; The Nasiriyah gas project with a capacity of 200 million cubic feet per day, in addition to the Halfaya gas project with a capacity of 300 million cubic feet per day, and the Artawi gas project in Basra governorate with a capacity of 400 million cubic feet per day, and the Artawi gas project with a capacity of 300 million cubic feet per day. As well as a new trend, towards Aqel 'Akkat in Anbar Governorate.
And last week, the Ministry of Oil announced the opening of a gas production plant associated with the extraction of oil, with a capacity of 20 million standard cubic feet per day, in the “Abu Gharb / South 1” field in Maysan Governorate, in the south of the country.
Oil Minister Ihsan Abdul-Jabbar said in a statement received by “Al-Nour News” a copy, that “the production capacity of the project is 100,000 barrels of oil and more than 20 filters per day (the filter is equivalent to one million standard cubic feet per day), added to the national production to supply electric power stations. Gas fuel.
The Chinese company "Cinoc" is developing the "Abu Gharb" field in Maysan Governorate.

Obstacle puzzle
An official in the Iraqi Oil Ministry said, “The associated gas file is marred by a lot of ambiguity, lack of transparency, and delays in the completion of projects, as this delay has been a prevalent feature, during the past years, when we reached a spiral, which we may not be able to get out of, and this is due to to improper planning, and here we cannot forget the conditions that Iraq has gone through, and the wars it has lived through.”
The official, who declined to be named, adds to “Al-Nour News” that “the licensing rounds that Iraq held with foreign countries to manage its oil fields included clear clauses regarding the investment of associated gas (and perhaps this is a secret), but what we saw was the reluctance of these companies, launching Real projects, regarding gas, despite the relative quality, in the oil projects, which is what made successive officials, between a rock and an anvil, about dealing with these companies.”
He continued, "The failure to implement these projects by the oil companies is due to the magnitude and cost of these projects, despite the achieved profitability, in the long run, as well as the desire of some, but it is hidden, always wanting to transfer the associated gas file, postpone it, or identify it." With the status quo, which was its current result, which the whole world sees.”

Buy at double the price
At the present time, Iraq produces part of the gas associated with oil from some fields, but it has not completed many projects, some of which have been disrupted, and others have stalled, while other fields are facing a fatal routine.
Data from BP indicate that Iraq buys Iranian gas at $11.23 per thousand cubic feet, compared to about $6.49 paid by Kuwait to buy liquefied gas.
According to a report by the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, Iraq currently wastes approximately $2.5 billion annually as a result of burning gas associated with oil extraction operations, which amounts to 1.55 billion cubic feet per day, equivalent to 10 times the amount imported from Iran.

Toxins spread cancer
In Basra Governorate, residents of the town of Nahr Omar, which is located next to several oil wells in southern Iraq, say that the flames rising from the towers spread toxins in the air, turning green to dry.
And a report recently published by the British newspaper INDEPENDENT quoted experts that burning gas associated with oil extraction is the main factor in climate pollution, and poses a serious threat to the health of those living nearby, causing asthma, lung and skin diseases and cancer.
According to the mayor of Nahr Omar, cancer rates have increased over the past decade by 50%, with 150 cases in 1,600 residents.
Muhammad Hassan, 43, says that when he took his 14-year-old son to the doctor, he was diagnosed with bone marrow cancer, and when the doctor saw the curvature of his spine and his pale skin, he asked him where he lived, and when he knew that he was from the Omar River, the doctor realized the seriousness of their health condition caused by pollution. As reported by the newspaper.

Although the country has been through wars for two decades, Jassim Abdulaziz Hammadi, technical undersecretary of the Ministry of Environment and Health, ranks air pollution as one of the biggest crises facing Iraq. Even the Global Burden of Disease Study, the world's largest public health study, found that more people have died from air pollution than the number of deaths recorded since the US invasion of Iraq in 2003.
The expert in Iraqi economic affairs, Mazen Al-Ashikar, believes that “Iraq needs to invest in the field of gas, in light of the decreasing oil reserves globally, which encourages the trend towards the alternative, which is gas, especially since the Anbar fields have large quantities of gas equivalent to what is in the State of Qatar. It is geographically closer to Europe than the Iranian or Qatari fields, which means that its investment is highly profitable.”
Al-Ashikar added to “Al-Nour News” that “Iraq needs to get out of the obstacles it faces due to importing gas from Iran, in light of the global trend towards investing in this fuel, which necessitates repositioning, adjusting the path, choosing what suits the Iraqi situation, and granting investment Only according to legal methods.
