GGIP in Iraq: TotalEnergies Launches Construction of an Early Gas Treatment Unit to Stop Flaring and Supply Power Plants
TotalEnergies and its partners Basra Oil Company and QatarEnergy have initiated construction of ArtawiGas25, a gas processing facility in Iraq's Basra region. This $250 million project, part of the larger Gas Growth Integrated Project (GGIP), will process 50 million cubic feet per day of previously flared gas to power local plants, serving approximately 200,000 households.
The GGIP, signed in September 2021, is a $10 billion multi-energy initiative aimed at developing Iraq's natural resources and improving electricity supply. It includes a gas processing plant with a first phase capacity of 300 Mcf/d. ArtawiGas25 is expected to significantly reduce gas flaring at the Ratawi field by end 2025, with its modular design potentially applicable to other Iraqi oil fields. The project will create 160 jobs during construction and 30 operational positions for Iraqi nationals.

Include un impianto di trattamento gas con una capacità di fase iniziale di 300 Mcf/d. ArtawiGas25 si prevede ridurrà significativamente il flare di gas nel campo Ratawi entro la fine del 2025, con un design modulare potenzialmente applicabile ad altri campi petroliferi iracheni. Il progetto creerà 160 posti di lavoro durante la costruzione e 30 posizioni operative per cittadini iracheni.

TotalEnergies와 그 파트너인 Basra Oil Company 및 QatarEnergy가 이라크 바스라 지역에 ArtawiGas25라는 가스 처리 시설의 건설을 시작했습니다. 이 2억 5천만 달러 규모의 프로젝트는 더 큰 Gas Growth Integrated Project (GGIP)의 일환으로, 이전에 태워버린 가스를 하루 5천만 입방피트 처리하여 지역 발전소에 전력을 공급하고 약 20만 가구에 서비스를 제공합니다.
2021년 9월에 체결된 GGIP는 이라크의 자연 자원을 개발하고 전력 공급을 개선하는 것을 목표로 하는 100억 달러 규모의 다중 에너지 이니셔티브입니다. 300 Mcf/d의 첫 번째 단계 용량을 가진 가스 처리 공장이 포함되어 있습니다. ArtawiGas25는 2025년 말까지 Ratawi 필드에서 가스를 태우는 것을 상당히 줄일 것으로 예상되며, 모듈형 설계는 다른 이라크 석유 필드에도 적용될 수 있습니다. 이 프로젝트는 건설 중 160개의 일자리를 만들고 이라크 국민을 위한 30개의 운영 직책을 제공합니다.

Insights
The launch of ArtawiGas25 marks a strategic milestone in Iraq's energy infrastructure development. The
The modular design approach is particularly noteworthy, as it creates a scalable template for future implementations across other Iraqi oil fields. This could accelerate the country's transition from gas flaring to productive energy generation. The project's ability to support power generation for 200,000 households in the Basra region represents a significant improvement in local energy security and infrastructure reliability.
The broader GGIP framework, including the upcoming 300 Mcf/d gas processing plant and 1.5 GW power generation capacity, positions TotalEnergies to capture substantial market share in Iraq's evolving energy landscape while addressing critical infrastructure needs.
The ArtawiGas25 project represents a significant environmental advancement by addressing the persistent issue of gas flaring in Iraq's oil fields. By capturing and processing 50 Mcf/d of previously flared gas, this initiative will substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions while converting waste into valuable energy resources. The environmental benefits extend beyond emissions reduction, as the project helps preserve natural resources that would otherwise be lost to atmosphere.
The project's integration with local power generation infrastructure creates a sustainable energy cycle that maximizes resource efficiency. The modular design's potential for replication across other Iraqi oil fields could multiply these environmental benefits, potentially transforming Iraq's energy sector environmental footprint. This aligns with global efforts to reduce methane emissions and optimize energy resource utilization in oil-producing regions.

In anticipation of the start-up of this main gas processing facility, the ArtawiGas25 project will significantly reduce gas flaring at the Ratawi field as early as end 2025. The innovative modular design of ArtawiGas25 could also pave the way for potential replication across other Iraqi oil fields. ArtawiGas25 will create up to 160 direct and indirect jobs for Iraqi nationals during construction phase and 30 jobs during operation phase.
"We are very pleased to launch the ArtawiGas25 project: it will give the Iragi people a tangible insight into the benefits of the GGIP, which will provide more energy with less emissions. Through this project, TotalEnergies is demonstrating its capacity to deliver valuable and fast-track solutions in accordance with the government’s expectations and the country’s electricity needs. We look forward to the next GGIP milestones in the coming weeks with the start of construction of the 1 GW solar project”, said Julien Pouget, Senior Vice President Middle East &
