Basra Gas Company announced the launch of the first phase of a strategic project in the southern Rumaila field to exploit gas and prevent its flaring .
The Deputy Managing Director of Basra Gas Company, Marfaa Al-Asadi, Director of the Higher Production Authority, said, “This project will exploit gas from the Al-Quraynat Mishrif and Al-Shamiya Mishrif sites,” noting that “the company has completed the installation of an integrated unit at the first site to process sour gas, and it has now entered into operation after it was supposed to enter operation at the end of next July. However, there is an urgent need to expedite the project in cooperation with the field operator and the contractors working there.”
He explained that “the company was able to operate the project early and enter the unit as a first phase, and is currently working on investing 20 million cubic feet,” expecting “the capacity to rise to 40 million cubic feet (one million standard cubic feet) in the coming days.”
Al-Asadi confirmed, “There is coordination between the Basra Gas and Oil companies to link the quantities of gas produced from the Majnoon field to the gas company’s plant in Khor Al-Zubair, via a pipeline passing through northern Rumaila, which enables the investment of 40 cubic meters that were going directly to burning and benefiting from them, and converting liquids into LBG , and dry gas into fuel until the completion of Total’s projects so that the gas can be used again in the company.”
