TotalEnergies and partners Basra Oil Co. and QatarEnergy have begun the construction of an associated gas processing facility in the Ratawi field in Iraq, the companies announced Jan. 10.
The ArtawiGas25 facility, part of the Gas Growth Integrated Project (CGIP), is 45% owned and operated by Total. Basra owns 30% and QatarEnergy owns the remaining 25%.
GGIP’s large scale gas processing plant’s first phase will process 300 MMcf/d of gas from three oil fields to supply local power plants for 1.5 gigawatts of generation capacity. A significant reduction in gas flaring at the Ratawi field is expected by the end of 2025.
ArtawiGas25 is expected to cost around US$250 million and the GGIP is expected to cost US$10 billion.
