 Basra: Saad Al-Sammak

 

Oil Minister Ihssan Abdul-Jabbar inaugurated the fifth compressor station for gas associated with crude oil in the northern Rumaila field, with a capacity of 150 million cubic feet, while he confirmed that the year 2024 will witness, for the first time in the country's history, the stopping of associated gas burning.

He told Al-Sabah on the sidelines of the opening ceremony: “The Basra Gas Company annually adds investment projects that exceeded three billion dollars to treat the gas associated with oil in three fields for oil licenses, to equip gas production stations with operating fuel from natural gas and to provide liquid gas and condensate necessary for local consumption.” .

The Basra Gas Company is a 25-year joint venture between the Iraqi South Gas Company, in which it owns 51 percent of shares, and Shell, which owns 44 percent, in addition to five for Mitsubishi.

Ihsan revealed that “the year 2024 will witness, for the first time in the country's history, stopping the burning of associated gas in three fields of oil service companies: Rumaila, Zubair and West Qurna 2,” explaining that “the ministry is focusing its efforts to accelerate investment projects in gas to make greater use of the associated gas for disposal. Definitively from the phenomenon of burning him ».

According to the Basra Gas Company, the current production rates amount to 900 million standard cubic feet per day, equivalent to about three thousand megawatts of electric power, and provide 80 percent of the local market's need for liquefied gas (cooking gas).

The Minister of Oil stated that “the new fifth compressor station (NCS5) has begun work to increase the capacity of gas pressure despite the challenges of the global economic downturn and the Corona pandemic,” noting that “with the presence of the capable local Iraqi capabilities, in cooperation with international companies, we can achieve our ambitious plans with the utmost synergy. ».

Yes Iraq: Baghdad

 

For the first time in the country's history, Iraq is looking to completely stop burning associated gas in the year 2024, in three fields of oil service companies, according to a statement by Oil Minister Ihsan Abdul-Jabbar.

Abdul-Jabbar said in a press statement, that the year 2024 will witness, for the first time in the country's history, stopping the burning of associated gas in three fields of oil service companies: Rumaila, Zubair and West Qurna 2 ″, explaining that “the ministry is focusing its efforts to accelerate investment projects in gas to benefit more from The gas associated with the final disposal of the burning phenomenon.

 

He added that "the Basra Gas Company annually adds investment projects exceeding three billion dollars to treat the gas associated with oil in three fields for oil licenses, to equip gas production stations with operating fuel from natural gas and to provide liquid gas and condensate necessary for domestic consumption."

 

The Basra Gas Company is a 25-year joint venture between the Iraqi South Gas Company, in which it owns 51 percent of shares, and Shell, which owns 44 percent, in addition to Mitsubishi.

 

 

 

Iraqi gas is not enough even if all of it is invested!

 

Earlier, Oil Minister Ihsan Abdul-Jabbar blew a surprise when he revealed that Iraq had not stopped importing gas, even if the waste and domestic gas investment were stopped.

 

Abdul Jabbar said in a press statement that the new crude oil production plan at a cost of 7-8 million dollars includes the highest that can be produced of dry gas, which does not exceed 3 to 4 thousand million standard cubic feet of gas, and this requires Iraq to import gas from the producing countries. The fact that the Ministry of Electricity needs at least 6 thousand million standard cubic feet of gas on a continuous basis, and therefore the need to import exists even if the gas investment projects have been completed.

Kunooz Media / Baghdad

On Friday, a member of the Parliamentary Energy Committee, Sadiq Al-Sulaiti, confirmed that the gas investment file is one of the lagging projects and needs serious steps to properly manage it.

Al-Sulaiti said in a statement that "this file needs serious steps from the Ministry of Oil and the Council of Ministers to accelerate the investment of free gas and associated gas," noting that "there are provisions that oblige the companies of licensing rounds to invest in gas, but there is also a lack of commitment to these terms."

He explained that “the Parliamentary Energy Committee submitted oral questions to former Oil Minister Thamer Al-Ghadhban, and followed this issue and urged attention to this file,” indicating that “the Ministry of Oil signed a contract with the GI Company to invest associated gas in Dhi Qar Governorate in the Al Gharaf oil fields. And the fields of Nasiriyah, and in Basra, there is an investment opportunity on offer during the era of the former Minister Ghadhban, which is the investment of the Artawi fields, which include about five oil fields.

He pointed out that “negotiations are now underway with international companies for the purpose of referring these fields for investment,” stressing that “there is a previous contract signed with the Turkish government company, a Kuwaiti company and a Korean company for the purpose of investing Mansouriya gas, but the three companies’ coalition has almost failed to fulfill its promises since 2012. The Ministry of Oil was forced to cancel this investment contract and hold negotiations to put it on other international companies for investment.

He added, "As for the gas crutch field, a contract was signed with the Korean company Kokaz also in 2012, but after ISIS entered the company, the company was forced to leave the sites and withdraw." She argues and rejects, under the pretext of the difficult security situation in the Iraqi city of Al-Qaim in Al-Anbar Governorate.

An increase in gas production of 110 million cubic feet per day

2021-03-20

Yes Iraq: Baghdad

 

Today, Saturday, the Ministry of Oil announced the implementation of a plan to invest in associated gas with oil, while it confirmed an increase in gas production amounting to 110 million cubic feet per day during the past two months.

 

"During the past two months, there has been an increase in production of 50 million standard cubic feet from the northern oil fields and 60 million standard cubic feet from the fields of the south," said Undersecretary of the Ministry of Oil, Hamid Al-Zobaie.

 

He added that "the South field witnessed an increase of 60 million standard cubic feet for the North Rumaila station, the fifth isolation, and its capacity reaches 120 million cubic feet per day."

 

He pointed out that "there is an increase in gas investment, which leads to the investment of liquids from gases from condensers and (BG), as the consumption demand from it has been met, and the export will increase, due to the increase in gas investment."

 

He stressed that "the ministry has a plan to fully invest the quantities of gas associated with oil production, which is among its prepared projects, and is now under implementation."

 

He continued, "There are four projects during the current period, which are the Nasiriyah gas investment with a capacity of 200 million cubic feet per day, the Halfaya investment with a capacity of 300 million feet, the Artawi project in Basra gas with a production capacity of 400 million cubic feet, and the Artawi project in southern gas with a capacity of 300 million feet. cubic".

 

He explained that "the total of these projects is 1200 million cubic feet per day, in addition to the quantities of gas currently invested, which constitute 1500 million standard cubic feet per day," noting that "the sum of the two parties is equal to the sum of the gas produced with oil, which amounts to 2,700 million cubic feet per day." ”

 

He stated that "gas in recent years is a basic resource and is environmentally friendly, and its financial return is high, in addition to its high energy production in power stations, which are produced more with gas."

 

He pointed out that "the Ministry of Oil has worked with the Ministry of Electricity to equip the stations with the available fuel of gas, kerosene oil, fuel oil, fuel oil and crude oil."

Iraq wants to diversify its gas imports to run its electrical stations

 

During the operation of the first obstetric unit from the Samawah gas station

Reports Economy News - Special Iraq wants to diversify its imports of natural gas to run its stalled power stations, due to the insufficiency of locally produced gas and the lack of dependence on Iranian gas, which Iran is exerting political pressure on the Iraqi government, by reducing gas supplies, especially in the government of Haider al-Abadi . "We are keen to buy gas from Qatar or Russia and Kazakhstan to run the power stations," said Deputy Prime Minister for Energy Ihssan Abdul-Jabbar, noting that Iraq has built its electrical stations since 2010 on gas fuel . He added that gas-fired electrical plants with a production capacity of 20 gigawatts need 7 billion standard cubic feet per day in order to operate, and it is impossible for Iraq to produce this, indicating that according to the oil market data and our investments, oil production will reach 7-8 million barrels, This amount does not produce more than 5 billion standard cubic feet of gas associated with oil production in the best case .  He pointed out that Iraq will continue to import gas to operate the power stations for a period of 20 years, and its import will decrease until the disappearance of the electric stations that operate with gas because we do not think about building stations that operate on gas, explaining that one billion standard cubic feet per day will enter the gas system during the year 2024 thanks to the construction of gas plants in Basra, Dhi Qar and Maysan . And Iraq established in 2010, the Basra Gas Company, in which the government owns 51%, Shell 44% and Japanese Mitsubishi 5%, to invest associated gas in the Rumaila, Zubair and West Qurna fields 1 and the company started working in the year 2013, and it was unable to invest all the gas associated with oil production . Iraq relies on importing Iranian gas to operate power stations in Baghdad and some southern provinces, and imports 1.8 billion standard cubic feet daily, and Iran recently reduced the quantities to less than 200 million standard cubic feet, due to Iraq not paying its $ 5 billion debt . On the other hand, the director of the Iraqi Oil Marketing Company "SOMO", Alaa Al-Mousawi, told Al-Iqtisad News that "Iraq imports gas from Iran through a network of pipelines connecting to the electrical stations through the national transmission network, which is considered to be of remarkably low cost compared to Through maritime transport, and it ensures the secure and smooth flow of gas to the electrical stations . " He added, "The Ministry of Oil began to search for other sources to import gas through the sea port in the ports of Basra in order to diversify the sources and maintain the flow of quantities according to Iraq's natural gas needs to ensure the stability of providing the needs of the power stations in the event that supplies from any source stop for any reason, whether they are from Qatar. Or Russia or any other source . " In an interview with Economy News, the official spokesman for the Ministry of Electricity, Ahmed Moussa, said that the Federal Energy Council, which includes the Ministries of Electricity and Oil, is keen to protect energy security by diversifying Iraq's imports of gas and electricity from neighboring countries, indicating that the Ministry of Oil provides Gas and its import will power the production capacity of the 34,000 MW power plants . He noted that there are some gas stations out of service, due to the lack of gas, explaining that importing gas from Qatar or Russia and any other country will positively affect the citizen by providing electricity, especially since the demand does not exceed 29 thousand megawatts . Moussa indicated that Iraq's import of gas from Iran is currently 50 million standard cubic meters per day, and these quantities have decreased to less than 5 million standard cubic meters in the last period, which means the loss of the electricity system of more than 6 thousand megawatts, adding that the Ministry of Electricity is currently working on Connecting Iraq with the electricity system of the Gulf countries, Turkey, Jordan and Egypt in order to import what it needs from electricity . He noted that operating power stations with crude oil is very costly, as one megawatt needs 40 barrels of oil per day, and therefore Iraq needs more than 700,000 barrels per day to operate the power stations, which is an economically unfeasible option . Iraq needs to spend more than 20 billion dollars to develop its gas fields and gas associated with production, and Iraq has reserves of 125 billion standard cubic meters, 75% of which is associated with oil production, and Iraq has allocated more than one billion dollars in the budget for the year 2021, to invest the gas that is burned in the fields. Oil . The head of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Haitham al-Jubouri, said that "Iraq imports gas at a value of 6 trillion dinars" 4.1 billion dollars "annually to operate power stations. The current problem is that the great expansion in electricity production is not accompanied by an expansion in gas investment, adding that 72% of Gas associated with oil production is burning in the sky . Al-Jubouri called on the Ministry of Oil to invite international companies to invest gas fields in Anbar and Diyala, and we are ready to allocate funds in the current and next year’s budget for gas investment . Meanwhile, the oil expert, Hamza Al-Jawahiri, told Al-Iqtisad News that Iraq does not have the appropriate facilities to import liquefied gas from Russia, Kazakhstan and Qatar, and therefore there is a tendency from the Ministry of Oil to lease a specialized vessel that converts the gas from liquefied to dry and pumps it into the gas system for operation Power stations, pointing out that the current option is to import gas from Qatar, as it is close to Iraq, and the cost of shipping will be lower . He noted that the burning of gas will continue for several years, and needs greater investments, but Iraq has a tendency in this aspect, as for the investment of gas fields, specifically in Mansouriya and crutch, it contains difficulties, explaining that the difficulties that exist in investing the crutch field is its occurrence in Wadi Houran, which is considered the headquarters To organize ISIS . According to specialists, Iraq needs to build stations worth more than 4 billion dollars to convert liquefied gas into natural gas and use it in power stations, and since Iraq suffers from a financial crisis, the matter of importing gas from countries such as Russia and Kazakhstan is very difficult now, and therefore Iraq will adopt Iran now has to lease a private ship, which is also expensive .

Iraq is among seven countries responsible for two-thirds of the world's gas flaring

 

Burning gas

energy Economy News - Baghdad The World Bank said that the oil and gas industry witnessed an unprecedented year, as oil production decreased by 8% in 2020, while global gas flaring decreased by 5%. This came in the new satellite data collected by the World Bank’s Global Partnership to Reduce Gas Flaring. He added that oil production had decreased from 82 million barrels per day in 2019 to 76 million in 2020, and at the same time, gas flaring worldwide decreased from 150 billion cubic meters in 2019 to 142 million in 2020. According to the bank, "The world is still burning enough quantities of gas to light sub-Saharan Africa. The United States accounted for 70% of the global decline, as gas flaring decreased by 32% from 2019 to 2020, as a result of the 8% decline in oil production, to In addition to the new infrastructure for the use of gas that would otherwise be burned. " Satellite data on gas flaring from 2020 reveals that Russia, Iraq, Iran, the United States, Algeria, Venezuela and Nigeria are still the seven countries that burn gas in a row for nine consecutive years, since the first satellite was launched in 2012 to track gas flaring operations. These seven countries produce 40% of the world's oil annually, but they account for about two-thirds (65%) of gas flaring operations worldwide. This trend indicates the continuing challenges that these countries face, albeit differentiated. For example, in the United States there are thousands of individual gas burning sites, which are difficult to connect to any market, while the few oil fields that burn large quantities of gas in Eastern Siberia in the Russian Federation are very remote and lack the infrastructure to collect and transport associated gas. . Gas flaring refers to the burning of natural gas associated with oil extraction, and it occurs due to a host of things ranging from market and economic restrictions and obstacles to a lack of proper regulation and political will. This practice results in a range of pollutants being released into the atmosphere, including carbon dioxide, methane and black carbon (soot). Methane emissions from gas flaring contribute the most to global warming in the short to medium term, because methane is more than 80 times stronger on the climate than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period. “In the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic, oil-dependent developing countries are feeling the brunt of the crisis, suffering from revenue and budgetary constraints. "More than 400 million tons of carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions are released each year, and it is time to act. We must press ahead with plans to drastically reduce the direct emissions of the oil and gas sector, including emissions from gas flaring." The World Bank’s Global Gas Flaring Reduction Partnership is a trust fund and partnership between governments, oil companies and multilateral organizations working to end automatic burning of gas at oil production sites around the world. The Global Gas Flaring Reduction Partnership, in cooperation with the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Colorado University of Minerals, has developed global estimates of gas flaring based on observations of two satellites launched in 2012 and 2017. Advanced sensors on the two satellites detect heat emitted from burning gas as infrared emissions in oil and gas production facilities around the world. "Awareness of gas flaring as a serious climate and resource management issue has become greater than ever," said Zubin Bamji, program manager at the Global Partnership for Gas Flaring Reduction Trust Fund. "About 80 governments and oil companies have pledged to completely stop automatic gas flaring within the decade." Next, others are also joining our global partnership, which is a very positive development. Projects to reduce gas flaring require major investments and take several years to bear fruit. Reducing gas flaring is at the forefront of its climate plans. In order for us to save the world from millions of tons of emissions annually, this 160-year industrial practice must end now.

Shafaq News/ The Iraqi Oil Ministry announced on Saturday that it is putting the final touches to a contract with Total to establish an "integrated gas" project with the aim of ending the burning of gas associated with oil extraction.

 

The Ministry of Oil said in a statement that "the departments of the Basra Oil and South Gas companies and the relevant departments in the ministry's center are putting the final touches on the proposed project, which is to be signed during the coming period."

 

For his part, Oil Minister Ihsan Abdul-Jabbar said, "These projects fall within the priorities of the ministry's plans in the optimal investment of associated gas and the development of infrastructure, in order to convert the energy that is burned into useful energy that supports the national economy and sustainable development projects."

 

The gas imported from Iran currently contributes to operating the Iraqi electric stations, which supply the system with approximately 3,300 megawatts.

 

It is estimated that Iraq has an estimated stockpile of 131 trillion cubic feet of gas, but there are quantities of up to 700 million cubic feet that are burned daily; As a result of lack of investment over the past decades.

 

While Iraq pays large sums to import natural gas from Iran, it burns 10 times the quantities it imports from it, according to the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, with a waste of up to $2.5 billion annually.

 

For months, Iraq has been facing an electrical crisis; Because of the dwindling Iranian gas entering the country, which is used to operate power stations, due to Iraq’s failure to pay the money owed to Tehran as a result of selling gas, as the US sanctions imposed on Tehran prevent it from receiving any amounts in dollars, which Iraq is committed to.
