Iraqi Ministry of oil Fossil Fuel Resources(Latest Estimates)

IRAQ is one of the major oil producers .and has the thirdlargest proven oil reserves in the world
were estimated at (115 billion barrels) and (110 T. cubic feet)of proven natural gas reserves.
About 70% of Iraqi natural gas reserves are associated, 20%
non associated (free), and 10% dome gas .
In addition, most experts agree that even the latest figures
may considerably underestimate the Iraqi true potential
because of the low level of exploration activity. Only about10% of Iraq has been explored.

IEEJ: June 2010

IRAQ possesses twelve oil refineries: threeof which are large capacity and nine aresmall topping plants.

Current Status
No refinery has been able to operate at full capacity inrecent years because of damage from wars andsanctions. In 2004, they processed about 400,000 500,000 BPD of crude on average. All their output isconsumed by the domestic market but is insufficient tofully meet local market demands.
Oil and gas sector strongly affected by these events andconsequently caused shortages in all energy fronts incountry.
Oil ministry is particularly aware of these shortages somajor steps were considered. The following are the mainconcepts of the Iraqi oil and gas development plan.

IEEJ: June 2010

Ministry Goals
The main scope of the development planaddresses:-Improving management systems.
-Rehabilitating existing facilities .
-Improving and increasing processing capacity.
-Improving product specifications .
-Reducing natural gas flaring .
-Reducing heavy petroleum products (fuel oil )from refineries.

IEEJ: June 2010

On the other hand demand for oil products,
especially gasoline, has been rapidly increasing
in recent years in accordance with the ongoingreconstruction work for the country's recovery.
However, there is insufficient production
capacity from domestic refineries because of theaforementioned reasons. In 2004, MoO had toimport some 60% of its domestic demand forgasoline totaling 20 million liters/d but domestic
production amounted to no more than 8 million
liters/d. The shortfall resulted in 12 million
liters/d being imported.

IEEJ: June 2010

Iraq’s refineries produce large quantities offuel oil which effects refinery production
when the tanks become filled with fuel oil.
This condition reduces or stops
production. For this reason, Iraq needs toinvest in technology upgrades to reduce
the quantity of fuel oil.

IEEJ: June 2010

Iraq’s oil and gas fields have more than 500
structures of which about 80% have not been
drilled. High international investment is neededwith fields like Mansuria, Akkaz, and others.
Most of Iraq's natural gas is associated with oil.
The rate of gas production is proportional to thecrude oil production. This effects the gas
industry such as power generation,petrochemical, and fertilizer but unfortunately
significant volumes of associated gas are flaredoff.

IEEJ: June 2010

Oil Ministry Plan-Increase the utilization of natural gas. - Replace the dependence on crude oil
consumption for power generation .
- Dedicate the oil mainly for export andrefineries

Electrical sector
the first Gulf war and the economic blockade, which •resulted in an interruption of all electric power projects,- After 2003 the electricity system was suffering fromsevere shortages in electricity production by about(50%) of the load which is estimated to be up to(6500) megawatts, while the limits of reliable
productive capacity (3500) megawatts. In addition to
the system bottlenecks and problems in the networksof transport of fuel and electrical distribution networks
and to keep the electrical system working the cutting
electric program for country-level has been
implemented and the program is still valid till now.

•IEEJ: June 2010

During the period 2004-2008 was adopted a policy todevelop and increase the capacity of existing stations
and improving the performance and effectiveness ofelectrical systems to maintain the stability of the energy
processed and increased reliability as well as theexpansion and upgrading of transmission anddistribution networks in all parts of Iraq and initiate aproject to link electricity networks with neighboring
countries due to the high economic returns and reduce inoperating costs and dealing with emergencies that
happen in electrical system .
In the quick actions had been contracted with several
international companies which have a long experiencein the electrical industry field to supply Iraq with gas
stations (quick monument).

IEEJ: June 2010

The policy was followed during this period •to encourage the private sector to engage
in investment, for example the entry of
the private sector in the province ofKurdistan for the construction of power
plant capacity (500) megawatts in Arbil.

Renewable energy
Every day the sun pours more energy on to the surface of ourplants than we use from all sources in an entire year.
Iraq is more fortunate country in solar radiation which it self
represents one of the natural resources of the country .theamount of radiation an average of ( 6.5 – 7 ) kw /m2 range induration of sunshine in Iraq from ( 2800-3300 ) hr/ year .
Iraq is making some modest steps in the field of alternative
energy for example :Use of solar energy in the field of cathodic protection ofpipelines carrying crude oil . and in street, residential
complexes lighting, of the oil companies and use the water
heater for domestic use that are running on solar energy.

IEEJ: June 2010

There are some restrictions
1 - The presence of dust reduces the •effectiveness of the system for up to 50% incase of non-cleaned and in particular Iraq isexposed to 42 dust storm in 2009 alone.

•

2 - The cooling equipment and assembly of heat •from the sun are very expensive at the moment.
3 - Storage of solar energy when the sun goes •down and the type of use and the period of use
and total cost of storage.

IEEJ: June 2010

so we need to Develop a national strategy •and develop existing renewable energy
projects and monitor the necessaryamounts to finance these projects toprovide the energy needs of all segmentsof society .
