Iraq capital energy
Iraq holds the 12th largest reserves in the world, estimated at 131 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) at the end of 2022, predominantly located in large oil fields in the south and mostly associated with oil production. Despite these substantial reserves, Iraq faces regulatory, investment, and infrastructure challenges, which have kept natural gas production largely unchanged since 2016. The majority of Iraq's natural gas, about two-thirds, is produced as a by. [pdf]FAQS about Iraq capital energy
Why is energy important in Iraq?
Energy in Iraq plays a crucial role in both the national economy and the global energy markets due to the country's vast oil reserves and significant status within the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). Iraq holds abundant oil and gas resources and has strong solar PV potential.
Is Iraq a good country for solar energy?
Iraq holds abundant oil and gas resources and has strong solar PV potential. Its production to 2030 is set to be the third largest contributor to global oil supply. By the same year, the government expects that renewable capacity will amount for 5% of the country’s total system capacity.
How much natural gas did Iraq produce in 2022?
Iraq consumed significantly more natural gas than it produced in 2021, primarily for electric power generation. The country also flared over 630 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of natural gas in 2022 due to inadequate pipeline and processing infrastructure, making it the second-largest flaring country globally.
How much money does Iraq need to rebuild its energy sector?
The economic constraints brought on by lower oil prices and revenues further dent Iraq’s ability to invest in the rehabilitation of its energy sector, which will require between US$5bn and US$7bn per year over the next decade19.
Does Iraq's capital budget affect its long-term oil and Gas Development Goals?
The average annual capital budget allocated to the Ministry of Oil was one-fifth lower in the 2015‑18 period than in 2013, affecting Iraq’s ability to pursue its long-term oil and gas development targets.
Why is Iraq facing a major energy crisis?
Already in a fragile state, Iraq’s economy is today facing a major crisis resulting from the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on global oil markets, underscoring the urgent need for reforms of the country’s energy sector.

Does Equatorial Guinea produce natural gas?
Through partnerships with neighboring producers including Cameroon, Nigeria and the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea not only processes its own resources but regional reserves, converting gas into liquefied natural gas (LNG), ready for export.
Can Equatorial Guinea become a regional gas processing hub?
Rich with 1.5 trillion cubic feet of natural gas reserves and with an objective to become a regional gas processing hub, Equatorial Guinea’s gas journey has been both ambitious and highly successful.
What separates Equatorial Guinea from other gas producing countries in Africa?
What separates Equatorial Guinea from other gas producing countries in Africa is the Ministry of Mines and Hydrocarbons’ GMH initiative, a comprehensive development model to utilize unexploited offshore gas resources to drive energy security and economic growth.
How much energy does Equatorial Guinea use?
Electricity consumption in Equatorial Guinea in 2015 was 36 kilotonnes of oil equivalent (ktoe). The country produces all of the energy it consumes. As of 2012, renewable energy accounted for 29.2% of the final energy mix.
Why is energy in Equatorial Guinea declining?
Energy in Equatorial Guinea is an industry with plenty of potential, especially in the fields of oil and natural gas. However, production has been declining in recent years due to under-investment and lack of new discoveries. In 2022, the country produced less than 100,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd) according to OPEC data.
Where are Equatorial Guinea's Natural Resources processed?
In addition to processing domestic resources from fields including the 580 billion cubic feet offshore Alen Gas Project, Equatorial Guinea’s Alba Liquefied Petroleum Gas and Punta Europa onshore facility serve as the official processing platform for the entire region.
