    Baghdad/Al-Masala Al-Hadath: Oil Minister Hayan Abdul-Ghani confirmed that Iraq is close to reaching an extraction capacity of up to 5 million barrels of oil per day, and that Iraq is ranked 12th in the world in the volume of gas reserves.
    Abdul Ghani said in a statement followed by Al-Masala, that the Iraqi oil industry plays an important role in shaping the future of the national economy, and bears a great responsibility in supporting the economy and advancing its burdens, especially since it is mainly based on oil amid serious and real attempts to diversify the national economy and its sources of income.
    He added that the Ministry of Oil is approaching with coherent steps towards reaching an extraction capacity estimated at 5 million barrels per day in the extraction sector, despite the serious restrictions on the oil markets and the restriction of the quotas of the OPEC countries in order to support the stability and balance of prices.
    He continued, that this comes amid real fears of upcoming climate restrictions on the oil sector, the latest of which were the texts of the COP 28 climate conference and its recommendations for a gradual shift away from fossil fuels.
    He stressed that the ministry’s efforts are consolidating in the gas industry on the axis of new rounds of exploration, production rounds, and investment rounds of associated and combusted gas, and work is continuing on the fifth and sixth rounds for the border patches and patches of the western regions promising gas reserves, given Iraq’s position in global reserves that makes it ranked 12th in the world. Because of the importance of gas in meeting our national needs and in the energy transition file, as it is a cleaner fuel compared to heavy fuel, this is in line with the recommendations of recent climate conferences.
    He pointed out that the Ministry of Oil was very interested in investing in gas in the western regions, which possess very large gas reserves, and therefore the Ministry launched the fifth and sixth licensing rounds to invest it in the border regions. The two rounds included more than 30 oil and gas fields and exploration patches, including 15 gas patches in the western regions, starting with From the border with Syria, then Jordan, down to the border with Saudi Arabia, where the governorates of Diwaniyah and Muthanna.
    Abdul Ghani stated that there are 20 international companies that will contribute, and we hope that Iraqi businessmen will also have a contribution in these licensing rounds, and we are fully prepared to qualify these companies in order to expand participation in the rounds, and they will ensure Iraq’s self-sufficiency in gas and stop its importation, and perhaps Iraq will turn into a country. Gas source.
    The Minister of Oil indicated that Iraq's current gas production amounts to 3,200 million standard cubic feet (mmqf) per day, and the investor's estimate of it reached up to 62%, and the rest of the percentage, amounting to 38%, is currently being burned. The current government, since the beginning of its formation, has set the goal of stopping the burning of gas. Its top priority.
    He explained, “It was contracted to stop burning and investing gas, and within a few years the entire quantity will be completed and its burning will be stopped. We have developed a road map to invest its large quantities. Perhaps the last project completed last year is the (Basra Angie Al) project with a capacity of 200 million standard cubic feet of gas.” It was opened with the beginning of the formation of the government, and there is another unit in the Basra Gas Company with the same capacity with 200 million standard cubic feet, and its trial operation will begin in the second half of the current year 2024.”
    He continued, “We also have a gas investment project in the Halfaya field in Maysan with a capacity of 300 million standard cubic feet, and it has reached advanced stages, and within one to two months the trial operation of the project will be completed and this quantity will be invested and directed to the national grid and to the power stations, especially the Amara gas station. We also have a project in Dhi Qar Governorate, with a capacity of 200 million standard cubic feet, is being implemented by Baker Hughes, an international gas investment company, in the Nasiriyah and Al-Gharraf fields. It has also reached advanced stages, and its first phase will be operated during the second half of this year, while its second phase will be operated next year.
    Abdul Ghani stated, “The ministry’s contracts and efforts are continuing in the French company Total project, which includes 3 main activities in addition to oil production, and its most important activity is investing 600 million standard cubic feet of gas that is currently being burned in 5 oil fields: Majnoon, Al-Lahis, West Qurna 2, and Artawi.” And the brick, and it will be implemented in two stages at a rate of 300 million standard cubic feet for each stage, and will be completed over a period of 5 years, the first 3 and the second two years.”
