Ministry drops Nassiriya Integrated Project

Iraq will rely on a newly formed state oil company to develop the Nassiriya oil field, leaving only the nearby refinery project for investors, ending more than six years of pitching the two as a combined mega-project, according to Iraq Oil Report.

Most recently, Iraq had been in direct negotiations with PetroChina and the China National Offshore Oil Corp. (CNOOC) to build a 150,000 barrel per day (bpd) refinery and develop the 4.4 billion barrel Nassiriya oil field – the two components of the Nassiriya Integrated Project.

The international engineering and construction firm Foster Wheeler completed a Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) study for the refinery.

Petrofac Wins Iraq Contract with KOGAS

UK-based Petrofac has been awarded a Front End Engineering Design (FEED) modification contract for the KOGAS AKKAS B.V. Nasiriya Gas Treatment Plant (GTP) in southern Iraq.

Petrofac’s scope of work includes the modification and application of an existing field design to meet the needs of the Nasiriya GTP, and an estimation for the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) costs in line with the revised design requirements.

Steve Webber, Senior Vice President, Engineering & Production Services East, said:

“This award is testament to our engineering design capabilities, as well as our deep understanding of the market and supply chain in Iraq. KOGAS is a new client for us in a core market and we look forward to further developing our relationship through the successful delivery of this scope.

“Throughout the project, we will provide a robust FEED package for the execution of the Nasiriya GTP in alignment with KOGAS’ expectations, to ensure that it can maximise the total value of the field.”
