1. REFINING There are (3) major Refineries in Iraq:
1- Doura Refinery – built in the Fifties of the last Century with a
capacity of (70) kb1/d which was increased to (110) k b1/d by adding
4 (10) k b1/d units.
2- Basrah Refinery - built in the seventies of the last Century with a
capacity of (140) kb1/d which was increased to (180) k b1/d by adding
4 (10) k b1/d units.
3- Baiji Refinery- built in the seventies and eighties of the last Century
with a capacity of (290) kb1/d which was increased to (310) k b1/d by
adding 2 (10) k b1/d units.

2. REFINING All these refineries .were simple designed to produce white
products not exceeding (50 -55%) of the feed crude. Only
Baiji has a hydrocracker units of (30)kb1/d capacity.
All three refineries have lube oil plants of various capacities.
These refineries sustained severe damage during the 1991
gulf war . They were all fixed and put int operation within
2 -3 months from the end of the said war , but were not
restored to a healthy state . The long period of UN sanction
inflicted more damage due to disrepair&lack of maintenance .

3. REFINING Period April 2003 – Dec 2008
The operation of refineries was adversely affected
by the security situation.
Insurgent & terrorist attacks targeted crude oil &
product pipe lines.
Refineries suffered frequent stoppage of operation,
either due to lack of crude oil or inability to evacuate
products. This applies to the period 2005 –
In 2008 there is a definite improvement in the
operation thus the daily average for refining has
been gradually increasing coupled with decrease of
oil products imports.

48. Operating Capacity
The average operating capacity is in the 580 – 620 mb1/d.
The short fall in refining capacity is due to
- Shortage in delivery of crude oil
- Frequent stoppages due to operational
problems
- Accumulation of fuel oil or Naphtha in small refineries.
