Iraq PM inaugurates gas projects that aid plan to stop flaring
7/24/2025
Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani has inaugurated two natural gas projects in Basra that will support Iraq's targets to eliminate gas flaring and achieve gas self-sufficiency by 2027, Iraq's oil minister said in an Instagram post on Thursday.
A dry gas unit at the Basra Gas Liquefaction Plant will add 170 MMft3d of gas and 1,000 metric tpd of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), the post said. The second project, the Faihaa Central Gas Processing Facility, is designed to process MMft3d, it said.
As gas capture improves, condensate production is expected to reach 200,000 bpd soon, enabling higher export volumes and domestic blending, an Iraqi ministry source said.
