Changing fortunes for Iraq in 2019

A new federal government has a powerful engine in terms of rising crude output and export capacity, but also faces huge domestic difficulties

 

Iraq is setting off on the right foot. Record crude output (4.6mn b/d) and exports (3.58mn b/d) in August 2018 supported Iraq's fiscal outlook, allowing Baghdad to secure an estimated budget surplus of $23bn—a turnaround from its planned deficit of $10.6bn. Iraq was also set to exit 2018 with a new government, spearheaded by former oil minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi. For investors, key questions arise for Iraq's petroleum sector in 2019: by how much will crude production and exports increase? And will the summer of 2019 signal fresh protests as temperatures soar and electricity shortfalls re-emerge?

Iraq is setting off on the right foot. Record crude output (4.6mn b/d) and exports (3.58mn b/d) in August 2018 supported Iraq's fiscal outlook, allowing Baghdad to secure an estimated budget surplus of $23bn—a turnaround from its planned deficit of $10.6bn. Iraq was also set to exit 2018 with a new government, spearheaded by former oil minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi. For investors, key questions arise for Iraq's petroleum sector in 2019: by how much will crude production and exports increase? And will the summer of 2019 signal fresh protests as temperatures soar and electricity shortfalls re-emerge?

Abdul-Mahdi, a respected economist, achieved several feats during his former roles as oil and finance ministers: he oversaw Iraq's efforts to recapture Baiji refinery from Islamic State (IS) group militants in 2015-16; he was instrumental—along with SOMO—in segregating Iraq's crude grades, launching Basrah Heavy in 2015; and, finally, he supported Iraq's push to international capital markets and more effective debt management.

Politically, Abdul-Mahdi, having abandoned his former party (the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq) is the first independent premier in Iraq's post-2003 history. Having been chosen as a compromise candidate, he has made public his frustrations with Iraq's political system, not least party interference and the use of ministries as tools for political cronyism. With no real power base in Iraq's parliament, his authority stems from the backing of two prominent Shia figures set to dominate the political landscape in 2019: Moqtada al-Sadr (head of Sairoun) and Hadi al-Ameri (head of the al-Fatah Alliance).

Abdul-Mahdi knows that Iraq's energy sector is on trial. Some positive developments have been notched up since assuming power—particularly a new deal with the Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) to resume Kirkuk exports via Turkey. But this was more a result of US pressure, seeking to replace Iranian exports.

Iraq in 2019 will largely ignore Opec output policy. Compliance with any deal will be low

Protests in oil-rich Basra in the summer of 2018 exposed the supply-demand gap balance in Iraq's electricity sector (approximately 7.5GW); likewise, areas liberated from IS have increased the call on refined product imports. The challenge of pushing through difficult reforms—subsidy reform, tariff collection and reducing public sector payrolls—will likely continue throughout 2019.

Iraq's proposed 2019 budget signals this. The Popular Mobilisation Forces—an umbrella group of mostly-Shia militias supported by Ameri and Iran—will also put a new drag on government finances. Provinces still reeling from the damage sustained by IS and consumed by water and electricity shortages have already started protesting their lack of funds from the federal budget. Further protests from these constituencies are likely in 2019, particularly in Nineveh and Anbar provinces, where security risks remain due to the ongoing war in Syria.

Despite these political headwinds, Iraq is set to increase crude output in 2019. With approximately $11bn earmarked by the Ministry of Oil (MoO) to enable IOCs to recover their costs for operations under technical service contracts, Iraq's production capacity in 2019 will average approximately 5mn bl/d.

Incremental gains next year will be driven by production from PetroChina-operated Halfaya field, North Oil Company fields in Kirkuk, and additional volumes from state-operated fields.

 
For Kirkuk, crude output will increasingly be directed to refineries (particularly Baiji) and via the KRG-operated pipeline through Turkey. Iraq's southern export capacity—which includes the 1.6mn-bl/d Basra Oil Terminal, the non-operational 350,000-bl/d Khor al-Amaya terminal and four single-point moorings (SPMs) with capacity of 900,000 bl/d each—will increase marginally. Plans to increase onshore storage and deliver a new 120km (75-mile) sub-sea pipeline connecting onshore storage at Fao with SPM-4 will also help export volumes in 2019.

For legacy brownfields, 2019 will prove challenging: Rumaila Operating Organisation, operated by BP, will focus upstream capital expenditure on North Rumaila, tapping into the heavier Mishrif Reservoir (average API of 34°) and defined by weak aquifer support—a microcosm of Iraq's wider water challenges. Similarly, production increases from West Qurna-2 will be dependent on a newly proposed Tuba-Fao pipeline (which Lukoil will build), designed to feed volumes from West Qurna-2, Ahdab, and Tuba to Fao.

Despite the exit of Shell from Majnoon, it is unlikely 2019 will see any other IOCs pull out of Iraq's upstream. On the contrary, the MoO, aware of IOCs repositioning their global upstream investments in a more competitive industry, may seek to provide better terms for new entrants, especially in support of state-operated fields. In particular, ExxonMobil—currently engaged in talks over the South Integrated Project—may increase its involvement at Luhais and Ratawi in return for increased investment in the midstream pipeline network and export infrastructure.

Iraq's upstream boost in 2019 will be matched by the MoO's attempt to play catch-up in its downstream sector. Federal Iraq's refining capacity stands at approximately 650,000 bl/d, with refining runs of 550,000-600,000 bl/d. This capacity can meet domestic demand; but the mismatch between product demand and output has geared the MoO to upgrade existing refineries in order to reduce the product import bill ($2.5bn per year). In 2019, incremental refining gains will be made at the 15,000-bl/d Qayarrah refinery (which will receive increased volumes from the Qayarrah field). The Daura refinery is also set to increase runs in early 2019, following the opening of a new 40,000-bl/d pipeline from Kirkuk to Daura (via Baiji).

5mn bl/d—Iraq's 2019 production capacity

The restart in September 2018 of the war-damaged Salahuddin-2 unit (Baiji refinery) will help increase output from Kirkuk and meet product shortages in 2019. Whilst current runs are low at around 10,000 bl/d, this is set to increase in the coming year. The Salahaddin-1 unit (70,000 bl/d capacity) is non-operational, with plans for its restart in 2019—which will assist increased output from the Avana Dome and Bai Hassan fields. Additional refining capacity gains are also set to come from upgrading the Basra refinery (by 70,000 bl/d). Despite these refining gains, Iraq will continue to import light products, particularly gasoline and diesel.

The second half of 2018 highlighted a major imbalance in physical oil markets: a glut of light-sweet grades (particularly from the US) and increased tightness in medium-heavy grades. Iraq in 2019 will largely ignore Opec output policy. Compliance with any deal will be low. Iraq is likely, however, to follow Saudi Arabia and Kuwait in reducing exports to the US in 2019 to address rising inventories. Both Opec restraint and demand by Asian refiners for medium-heavy grades in 2019 will support SOMO's ability to market its crude. While oil price volatility will dominate the market in 2019, Iraq's budget price assumption of $56/bl is conservative.

Other market factors provide an additional fillip to Iraq in 2019: both the likelihood of US policy towards Iran tightening from May 2019 (as sanctions waivers expire) and soaring middle distillate demand (particularly diesel) driven by IMO 2020 will keep Iraqi crude grades competitive, particularly among complex refiners in India and China. SOMO will also make new advances into the Chinese independent refining market, following the signing of new JVs with Chinese companies in 2018. Iraq will also accelerate market share in Mediterranean markets; having inked a deal with Erbil to resume exports via the KRG pipeline toward the end of 2018, increased output from Kirkuk will support exports to Italy, Greece and the EU via Turkey, particularly as Mediterranean refiners grapple with reduced purchases from similar-quality Iranian grades and ongoing volatility of Libyan cargoes.

As oil production increases in 2019, the call on Basra Gas Company (BGC) to process associated gas from Licensing Round 1 fields will increase. With BGC set to handle approximately 1.2bn cf/d in 2019, Iraq will continue to flare gas in the coming year, at a cost of $50 per second. Increased MoO attention on gas handling at IOC fields will also dominate the agenda.

"Lukoil" invest in the largest Iraqi fields with modern technology

LUKOIL, Russia's second-largest oil producer, announced on Thursday (February 7th, 2019) that it has begun drilling new wells in West Qurna 2 field in Iraq.

The company said in a statement that the new wells will allow it to increase production by 20% from 400 thousand barrels per day at present to 480 thousand barrels per day by 2020.

The statement pointed out that "Lukoil" will use a modern mechanism when drilling new wells, based on the idea of installing two diggers at the field platform, which will contribute to accelerate the development of the field and ensure the growth of production at a faster pace. 

The field of "West Qurna 2" in southern Iraq and is one of the largest oil fields in the world, with a proven reserves of about 14 billion barrels. In 2018 signed "Lukoil" with Iraq agreement to invest the field until 2025, and the two sides set the ceiling of oil production from this field by 800 thousand barrels per day.

Expectations to restart the oil line stopped since the Iran-Iraq war
 

Lebanon is expected to restart an old pipeline between the Kirkuk oilfield and the Lebanese city of Tripoli, according to Lebanese reports.

"Lebanon is in contact with officials in Iraq and Syria to discuss ways of rehabilitating the pipeline," said Lebanese Energy and Water Minister Cesar Abi Khalil. According to the site "Info Pro".

Oil pumping in this line has been suspended since 1982 due to the outbreak of the Iran-Iraq war at the time.

BAGHDAD - 
Iraq, according to geological studies, contains about 530 geological structures that give strong indications of the existence of a huge oil reservoir. Only about a quarter of these structures have been excavated, which have been proven to contain huge oil reserves that are distributed in many fields. 
The current oil and gas fields are concentrated in the provinces of Basra and Kirkuk, followed by the important fields of the provinces of Maysan, Baghdad, Salahuddin, Diyala and Nineveh. 
The undiscovered and undeveloped fields are found in most of the governorates of Iraq except four are Diwaniyah, Babil, Anbar and Dohuk. 
On Friday, Mawazine News published the most prominent oil export pipelines, operating, suspended, canceled and planned pipelines in addition to the proposed lines. 

First: Operating lines: 1.
Kirkuk line - the first Turkish Ceyhan .. Opened in 1977 
2. The second Kirkuk-Ceyhan line opened in 1987

Second: Stopped lines:
1. The line of Kirkuk - Banias Syrian .. Opened in 1952 
2. The Kirkuk-Tripoli-Lebanon line opened in 1965 The 
two lines were suspended in 1982 by a decision of the Syrian government because of the Iran-Iraq war. 
3. Al-Zubair line - Yanbu Saudi on the Red Sea .. Opened in the first two phases in 1986 and the second 1990 
and stopped after 7 months only because of the invasion of Kuwait 
issued by Saudi Arabia and used for 20 years and was very expensive. 

Third:
Canceled lines: Kirkuk - Haifa Mediterranean. Opened in 1934 and stopped in 1948 because of the occupation of Palestine. 

Fourth: The planned lines:
Basrah - Aqaba, Jordan on the Red Sea 2019 

Fifth: Proposed lines:
Basrah line - Iran left 
Basra line - Boubyan Kuwait ..


It should be noted that these lines, which would have been suspended if the work was carried out and implemented the lines to be implemented in addition to the proposed lines .. This includes the lines of export of gas accompaniment, thus Iraq will have independence and capabilities and the possibilities and the flow of very high in the export and production, and makes a large figure in the world of industry and export of oil and gas.

Here is a seemingly rough map of the Kirkuk to Tripoli, Lebanon crude oil pipeline route:

 

Image result for kirkuk lebanese oil pipeline route

 

The crude oil pipeline route seems to be near or through an area in Syria with ISIS activity/control:

 

Image result for ISIS held areas in Syria

 

At least the crude oil pipeline does not follow the Euphrates where there is a last ISIS evaporating stronghold.

 

There may be more news about pipeline and pumping station integrity to ensure the Kirkuk to Tripoli, Lebanon pipeline is repaired of any ISIS or other damage and is functional and of sufficient integrity having been off line since 1982 or around 37 years.

 

Reactivating THESE old commerce lines with Iraq sure is encouraging!!!

 

Go Moola Nova!

Iraqi funds scattered in pipelines billions of dollars to Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Haifa .. "steal even iron"

 

The legal expert Tariq Harb wondered about the fate of the oil pipeline that was transporting Iraqi oil to the city of Haifa on the Mediterranean Sea through Jordan after more than seventy years to stop it after the new pipeline project from Basra to Aqaba, while the economist Abdul Rahman Al Mashhadani For the "obelisk" that Iraq has the right to return ownership of the oil pipeline, which was captured by Saudi Arabia, which was built with Iraqi funds near the port of Yanbu.

"After the agreements between the Jordanian and Iraqi governments on economic, commercial and financial issues, in a major meeting of the ministers of the two countries in Trebil on February 2, 2019, the war is a reminder of the oil pipeline established by the royal government that exported Iraqi oil to the city of Haifa, Average.

"But the oil pumping has been stopped, although it is a priority for the Iraqi government. There is a difference between the export of Iraqi oil to Aqaba and the Red Sea, while the export of oil to Haifa, as did the monarchy prior to the Republican era, gives preference to Iraq in terms of the place of export to the Mediterranean Rather than the remote route to Aqaba and the Red Sea.

"The transfer of oil, as was the case with the royal era, to the transfer of oil to Haifa," he said. "Iraq has a benefit in terms of proximity to oil markets in Europe and a lack of export expenses because Haifa is closer to Aqaba.

"But what we know is that Jordan has taken over the iron pipe and nothing has been left of it, while the pipeline between Jordan and Haifa on the Mediterranean Sea is still there and has not been acquired, as happened to the pipeline in Jordan. This is a remark to go back to the past of the Iraqi oil pipeline, He was passing through the Jordan and knowing who stole the iron of this pipe and compensate Iraq for the oil pipeline that was acquired by the Jordanians, so as not to be Iraqi money stolen from everyone.

For his part, said economist Abdul Rahman Mashhadani, Iraq has the right to return the ownership of the oil pipeline, which was captured by Saudi Arabia, which was built with Iraqi funds near the port of Yanbu.

"There are international agreements that the ownership of this oil pipeline belongs to Iraq and Saudi Arabia has taken it as a debt repayment," Al-Mashhadani said in a statement.

He pointed out that "the interest of Iraq is more important than the interest of the oil-exporting countries," OPEC "and when the interests of Iraq is opposed to the interest of this organization must consider the interest of the country and its benefits, which are more important than all interests.

Mashhadani pointed out that "the previous political differences with countries should not be reflected on economic interests because those interests are now larger and wider."

In the mid-1980s, Iraq and Saudi Arabia agreed to build an Iraqi pipeline running through Saudi territory and link Iraq's oil facilities to the south, close to the Saudi port of Yanbu on the Red Sea.

On June 4, 2001, Saudi Arabia announced that it had put its hand on the Iraqi oil pipeline, which it said was in the wake of what it described as threats and acts of aggression by Iraq, by launching a series of attacks on Saudi border control points, she said.

Iraq reveals its oil production and announces an important agreement
[Baghdad: Al-Furat News} Oil Minister Thamer Ghadhban revealed the amount of Iraq's production of crude currently.
Al-Ghadhban said in a press statement that "the country's current production of crude is four million and 510 thousand barrels per day," stressing that "Iraq has the capacity to increase the production of oil in the fields of the country to levels higher than the current production declared, but there is a need to abide by resolutions (OPEC) set the ceiling for production for its members and countries outside to address the weakness of prices and stability of the economies and markets of oil globally. 
"The negotiations with the international partners for the South Integrated Oil and Gas Project in the southern provinces reached an agreement on the general framework and the cost of the contract of construction and operation, except for one point only described as economic because it is specific to the distribution and participation of the profit rate of the partners and the ministry, And it is expected to reach solutions that satisfy both parties. "
The Minister of Oil said that "the development of oil and gas industry in the country is moving at high rates through the use of modern technologies in cooperation with international companies, noting that the priorities of the Ministry's plans are the implementation of projects to develop production processes and stability in the oil fields and achieve the increases planned according to the plans for the immediate and medium and long-term field". 
He praised "the joint management of the fields and the efficiency of workers, especially the national cadres, which proved the ability and skill of high, which enhances confidence in moving forward in the management of oil fields in the country."

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - 
The production of the giant Majnoon field has been reduced to 104,000 barrels per day (bpd) this month from 220,000 bpd in January, an official source at the oil ministry said on Saturday. 
"Iraq has reduced production of the giant Majnoon field to 104,000 bpd this month from 220,000 barrels per day in January," the source said in a statement to Reuters. 
The source added that "the process of reducing production in the field was a commitment from Iraq to the agreement of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC)." 
Iraq's supply is below its maximum production capacity of around 5 million bpd, in line with an agreement between OPEC and other exporters, including Russia, to cut global supply to support prices.
