Iraq's Ministry of Oil is progressing with the implementation of a dry gas pipeline to support power generation, following directives from Deputy Prime Minister for Energy and Oil Minister Hayan Abdul Ghani.
Dr. Ezzat Saber Ismail, Deputy Minister for Gas Affairs, along with Ali Ward Hammoud, Director General of the State Company for Oil Projects (SCOP), inspected the Khor Al-Zubair terminal in Basra, where the pipeline's receiving arms are under construction.
The 40-km pipeline, with a 42-inch diameter, extends from Khor Al-Zubair to Shatt Al-Arab regulator, providing essential gas supply flexibility for power plants across Iraq. Work is progressing rapidly, meeting engineering and technical standards.
The officials also met with Dr. Farhan Al-Fartousi, Director of the Iraqi Ports Company, to review on-site operations and ensure smooth project completion. Al-Fartousi reaffirmed his company's full cooperation to facilitate the pipeline's installation.
