Iraq's Ministry of Oil is considering a strategic national pipeline to transport liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) from the south of the country to the north. A feasibility study has been ordered following a meeting to discuss the project's technical, economic and implementation requirements.
According to the Ministry of Oil, the Deputy Minister for Gas Affairs, Dr Izzat Sabir Ismail, chaired the meeting, which was attended by a number of directors-general and representatives of ministry companies and departments.
The pipeline is intended to improve the flow of LPG transport and supply, meet domestic consumption needs, and provide flexibility to export surplus volumes. The ministry described the project as a strategic step to develop gas sector infrastructure and improve the efficiency of transport and distribution networks, in line with expected growth in LPG production.
