Main Topics Introduction Gas Reserves Gas Utilisation Strategy Short Term Plan Rehabilitation to Pre-War Capacities Medium Term Plan Utilisation of Associated Gas from New Projects Early Production for Power Generation Long Term Plan Full Development of Oil & Gas Fields Surplus Gas Utilisation Conclusions
Proven Gas Reserves is around 3150 BCM THE ETERNAL FIRE AT KIRKUK
Gas Utilization Strategy Gas Master Plan Minimise Gas Flaring Rehabilitation of existing gas plants Construction new gas utilization projects Maximizing liquid recovery from natural gas to enable LPG export Substitution of natural gas for power generation, instead of crude oil & oil products Surplus Gas Utilisation Conversion to: GTL , Chemicals & Fertilizer Gas Storage in depleted reservoirs Gas Export
