Gazprom begins pre-commissioning work at gas plant in Iraq
Pre-commissioning works for a complex gas treatment plant (CGTP) have now commenced at the Badra oilfield, Iraq, operator of which is Gazprom Neft. The facility, with a production capacity of 1.6 billion cubic meters, is designed for the compression, treatment and dehydration of associated petroleum gas (APG). Once all gas infrastructure has been commissioned utilization of APG at the Badra field is expected to reach 99%.

Output from the CGTP — dry marketable gas — will be delivered by pipeline to the Az-Zubaidiyah power plant, 100 km from Baghdad, which will make possible an increase in electricity production in Iraq and play a role in ensuring stable and secure electricity supply to several of the country’s provinces. In addition to which, dry marketable gas from the Badra field will be used to fuel the plant’s own 123.5MW gas turbine power plant (GTPP), meeting all production infrastructure energy needs. The city of Badra, surrounding neighborhoods, and the Gazprom Neft Badra residential complex will also be connected to the field’s power grid.
“Our gas program is being implemented in full compliance with our contractual obligations,” Sergei Karavaev, Executive Director, Gazprom Neft Badra, said. “As part of the project we have begun construction of LPG storage facilities, infrastructure for its transportation in tankers, and other process facilities. Field development is ongoing, with all work on schedule.”
