(Reuters 
) - Royal Dutch Shell announced on Tuesday it was seeking to increase gas in Iraq to 1.4 billion cubic feet per day by 2020. 

"The company is fully committed to its joint gas project in Iraq," Reuters quoted a senior Royal Dutch Shell executive as saying. "Noting that it" plans to increase its gas production there to 1.4 billion cubic feet per day by 2020 ". 

Basrah Gas Company was established to invest the associated gas through the Ministry of Oil contract with Dutch Shell Company 44% and Mitsubishi Japan 5% worth $ 17 billion from three oil fields namely Rumaila, Zubair and West Qurna.

 


The project aims to collect gas from the fields in the south of the country, including the West Qurna-1 field operated by ExxonMobil, the Zubair field run by Eni of Italy and the Rumaila field developed by BP. 

"Gas production from the joint venture, the main fuel producer in southern Iraq, now stands at 938 million standard cubic feet per day with plans for further expansion," said Fritz Kallab, director general of Basra gas. 


"Since 2013 (when it started operating), we have increased the processing capacity more than three times," he said. 

Iraq plans to stop the burning of gas by 2021. The burning of gas causes the government to lose about $ 2.5 billion in revenue, while the amount of gas burned is sufficient to meet most of the needs of generating electricity using gas, the World Bank said.

Shell said it would focus its efforts on the development of the Basrah Gas Company after it handed over operations in the Majnoon field to the Iraqi government. Shell also sold its stake in West Qurna-1 to Japan's Itochu. 

"Shell will be in a stronger position to focus its efforts on the development of Basrah gas and perhaps the Nebras petrochemical project, of course," he said. 

Iraq's production of associated gas is expected to grow as the country increases its oil production capacity. Iraq plans to increase the country's production capacity of crude oil to 6.5 million barrels per day by 2022, from about five million barrels a day at the moment. 

Iraq, the second largest producer of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) after Saudi Arabia, produces about 4.4 million bpd below its capacity, in line with OPEC-led global production cuts to support crude prices.

   We are moving according to a plan to raise oil production to more than 7 million and 500 thousand barrels per day 
   fields currently operating 72 oil fields out of 47 fields need to develop

   Recent events in Basra have not affected the production and export operations

Oil reserves are expected to rise to 230 billion barrels in the event of intensified exploration activity 

Baghdad / Abbas Abboud and Ahmad Abed Rabbo

Oil Minister Jabbar al-Luaibi predicted that the proven reserves of crude oil in Iraq would increase from 153 to 230 billion barrels if exploration activity expanded, while he confirmed that the gas burning would be completely halted in 2022. 
This came in an extensive interview conducted by "morning" The minister said that «the ministry provided more than 139 thousand jobs for the sons of Basra, while pointing out that in the coming days will enter part of the refinery Baiji to service, and the following is the text of the dialogue: 
 * Who paints oil policy in Iraq? 
In fact, there is no approved oil policy in Iraq, where the ministry was in the past in accordance with the five-year and twenty-year plans launched by the governments at the time, but after 2003 went to decisions and jurisprudence, and this trend is a serious mistake in the oil industry, for example, The ministry said that the production will reach 12 million barrels per day, but did not get this on the ground, this imbalance was not because of the ministry alone, but bear the Iraqi parliament part of it, because it did not approve the oil and gas law during the last sessions, which in turn draws and determines the oil policy and the future of the sector Throughout the country. 
We are working in the ministry to develop the features of oil policy through specific objectives, we seek to reach them, as we follow the plan to raise oil production to more than 7 million and 500 thousand barrels per day during the years 2023-2024, so we allocate 6 million barrels for export, Million for consumption 
the local. * How many oil fields and foreign companies operating in Iraq? The fields currently operating are 27 oil fields, out of 74 fields, which need to be developed, while the number of foreign companies operating in Iraq is 22 giant companies and more than 60 secondary companies, while the number of contracts with these companies 14 contracts, Contracts are two companies. The ministry deals with these companies wisely and in balance for the benefit of the oil sector in Iraq, but one of the problems in the contracts of those companies, which was signed in the past with the ministry did not include any work of rehabilitation and development of the areas operating by those companies, but our contracts included the provision of services, not to mention To create jobs for the regions in which they operate. [Asharq Al-Awsat] How do you evaluate Iraq's situation in the oil market?

The situation of Iraq in the world market is very good, and the price of oil is moving towards stability, and this is due to the historic agreement of the countries inside and outside the OPEC, which reduced the global production of oil, where Iraq was a leading and pivotal and important in this agreement, In order to proceed. 
We remain firm in our view that the policy of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) must move towards the stability of the world oil markets in order to avoid any deterioration that may be exposed to oil prices in the future. 
As for the recent events in Basra, did not affect the production and export operations where it was continuing, and still production swings by about 3 million and 520 thousand barrels per day, and the sale price of up to $ 69 per barrel, in contrast, the Ministry of Labor day and night to provide derivatives needed for the Ministry of Electricity Power stability.

[Asharq Al-Awsat] What is Iraq's oil and gas reserves and how much is its ranking among the countries of the world? 
The proven reserve for crude oil is 153 billion barrels, and the infiltration of Iraq among the OPEC countries comes in second and fourth place in the world, but if you ask me as an engineer in oil, I say that the reserves of Iraq much more than that, in the event of activating the exploration activity intensively, To 230 billion barrels, but because of the wars in the country, the exploration has been delayed much. 
The proven reserves are 135 billion cubic feet, and this is also the first, and if the expansion of exploration, it is 250 billion cubic feet, throughout the country. [Asharq Al-Awsat] Where did the ministry arrive at the gas investment stages and prevent the burning of the companion



Iraq was losing annually from $ 7 to $ 8 billion due to the burning of associated gas, so the ministry sought through its contracts to prevent it. After 2003, Iraq signed a contract with Shell to invest about 40% of the South gas, but they reached only 50 As we signed a month ago with a US company to invest Nasiriyah gas with a capacity of 200 million cubic feet. 
Our plans in the ministry are going to burn one drop at the end of 2022, by investing all the gas associated with oil extraction operations while completing the main gas infrastructure. 
As for the free gas investment, the ministry has two contracts, the first crutch and this is faltering because of the security conditions. The second contract is the Mansuriya field with a capacity of 300 million cubic meters per day. Some companies got it, but it did not start work. Then, This field is through the national effort with specialized national staff.


[Asharq Al-Awsat] How much is the capacity for liquidation in Iraq and why is the delay in the construction of refineries? 
The capacity of the filter in all refineries currently operating 670 thousand barrels per day, and this production is not enough to meet the needs of the country, which amounts to one million and 200 thousand barrels per day, where the shortage of imports, which is a big imbalance, especially as the amounts of import derivatives exceed two billion dollars annually , Since 2003 has not built a new refinery in Iraq, has signed agreements with companies to set up refineries, but most of them did not succeed.
For example, a contract was signed in 2015 to set up an investment refinery in Amarah with a capacity of 150,000 barrels per day. However, during this period the company did not start working despite our ongoing negotiations with the contractor, after which it was found that it was unable to do so. In 2014 in Karbala. The work was slow, but I tried to get some obstacles in the project in order to resume work and it actually happened, but this liquidator can not bear fruit in less than three years. 
In our future plans we ensure that the production of oil derivatives to 2 million barrels per day in 2024. * How many refineries currently operating? What about Baiji refinery?

Currently, more than 12 refineries operate throughout the country, and we in the ministry have opened wide doors on investment plans, in order to build refineries up to 1.5 million barrels per day throughout the country and we signed during the last days a contract for the construction of a refinery in Kirkuk with a capacity of 70 thousand barrels per day , And that the coming days will witness the signing of the contract of the Faw refinery with a capacity of 300 thousand barrels per day and this is for export, especially we are trying to turn Iraq from an importer to a source of oil derivatives.
As for the Baiji Refinery Complex, which had a production capacity of 350,000 barrels per day, it was completely destroyed by terrorist gangs, while a year ago we started to rehabilitate Saladin 2 refinery within the complex. It is expected to operate at the end of August, Thousand barrels per day and 100% Iraqi holdings, as we are preparing soon to start the rehabilitation of the refinery (Salah al-Din 1) card also reach 70 thousand barrels per day, and then qualify the rest of the refineries in Baiji and all this maintenance did not cost the country more than 500 million dollars, In a short period of rehabilitation of modern refineries, Chinese, Keyara, Kisk and Kirkuk which had been damaged By terrorists urging the Takfiris. [Asharq Al-Awsat] How did the ministry succeed in providing oil derivatives, especially in liberated areas?

The ministry works according to a plan to provide oil derivatives to all parts of Iraq, including the Kurdistan region in a stable manner to prevent queues in front of filling stations, especially winter times through the provision of white oil and other derivatives. 
As for the liberated areas, the ministry's tanks were entering these areas immediately after liberation to meet the needs of the people there, as well as other supplies. [Asharq Al-Awsat] Since you are the chairman of the ministerial committee to meet the demands of the demonstrators, what are the practical steps taken towards this?  A ministerial committee was appointed by the Prime Minister. We held intensive meetings with the Basra Provincial Council, the district directors, the elders and the tribal leaders, and we identified the imbalance in each service axis. We agreed on the recommendations and solutions of "medium, long and long term". 




But the implementation remains on the ministries and local government there, and suggested the formation of a special reconstruction and services committee in the province of Basra, headed by the Prime Minister, in order to take that committee bold decisions to improve the tragic situation in the province. 
The young people in Basra are now frustrated by the lack of job opportunities, accompanied by the absence of services with the invasion of sea water and agricultural areas, which requires serious steps by the authorities. 
I would like to point out the important point is that the Ministry of Oil alone has provided more than 139 thousand jobs for the sons of Basra and 22 thousand other opportunities for those coming from outside the province during the past years in the entire sector of oil industries.
