BAGHDAD - The Iraqi Planning Ministry has unveiled a plan with the Oil Ministry to increase the production of dry gas from its current rate of 800m cubic meters per day (qm/d) to 2,750m qm/d by 2014.
Deputy Minister Mahdi al-Allak said the ministries of planning and oil will develop the production of dry gas through increasing the production of Okaz and Mansuriya fields and reducing amounts of burned gas.
"The plan focuses on reducing the amount of burned gas to 150m qm/d instead of 700m qm/d with the preservation of the environment from pollution and processing the environmental problems resulting from the activity of the oil and gas."
The Oil Ministry signed on November 27 a final contract with Shell and Mitsubishi Gas for the establishment of Basra Gas company. On June 12 the Iraqi Council of Ministers signed a contract with Shell and Mitsubishi to collect the gas from southern oil fields.
The produced gas is intended to be used in the local market to meet the growing demand for electricity, and there is high possibility that any surplus will be exported.
