Iraq

ExxonMobil joins BP, Chevron, and TotalEnergies in greenlighting new investment projects in Iraq in 2025 as the government targets oil production of 6 million B/D by 2029.

Iraq’s Gas Growth Integrated Project aims to increase electricity generation by capturing flare gas collected from three southern oil fields. A desalination project will use treated seawater to maintain well pressures.

The project is expected to recover up to 300 MMscf/D of flared gas. Plans call for the recovered gas to be converted into treated dry gas, liquefied petroleum gas, and condensate for domestic use and export.

The use of real-time wireless downhole pressure gauges proved a valuable alternative to workover operations in two onshore fields in Iraq.

In a deal described as possibly "one of the most important transactions BP has done in 20 years" by CEO Murray Auchincloss, the company has agreed contractual terms with the Iraqi government to invest in drilling and infrastructure to rehabilitate and boost production at the Kirkuk oil field.
