He continued by saying, "The Ministry of Oil succeeded in signing the integrated contract for southern Iraq with the French company Total Energy to invest gas from five oil fields with a capacity of 600 million cubic feet of gas per day and produce 210 thousand barrels per day of crude oil, in addition to a project to use seawater for injection purposes and refrain from using it."
