TotalEnergies has formally started the construction phase of the last two major components of the Integrated Gas Growth Integrated Project (GGIP) in Iraq, the Common Seawater Supply Project (CSSP)<\/strong>, a seawater treatment plant<\/a><\/strong> and the full development of the Ratawi oil field<\/strong>. This multi-energy project, valued at approximately $27 billion<\/strong><\/a>, represents one of the most significant foreign investment efforts in Iraq in the last decade and seeks to transform the country’s energy infrastructure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A plant to preserve the country’s water resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The CSSP project, to be built near the city of Um Qasr, will process up to 5 million barrels of water per day<\/strong> to maintain pressure in several reservoirs in the south of the country. The aim is to replace the use of fresh water<\/strong> from the Tigris, Euphrates and local aquifers, thus helping to free up some 250,000 cubic meters per day of fresh water<\/strong> for agriculture<\/a><\/strong> and irrigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Redevelopment of Ratawi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, the Ratawi oil field<\/strong>, whose modernization began in 2023, will increase its production to 120,000 barrels per day (bpd) at the beginning of 2026<\/strong>, as part of its first phase, while the second phase seeks to raise that figure to 210,000 bpd by 2028<\/strong>; all of this with a policy of zero routine gas flaring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All associated gas produced, estimated at 160 million cubic feet per day (Mcf\/d), will be fully captured and processed thanks to the Gas Midstream Project (GMP)<\/strong>, a midstream gas treatment system, which is a midstream gas<\/a><\/strong> with a capacity of 300 Mcf\/d. This infrastructure will also treat gas that was previously flared at two other southern fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clean energy for 1.5 million Iraqi households<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The processed gas will be incorporated into the national grid to feed power plants with a capacity of 1.5 GW<\/strong>, which will translate into electricity for more than 1.5 million homes<\/strong>. In addition, an early production plant will allow 50 Mcf\/d of gas to be treated from 2026. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iraq currently imports between 30-40% of its electricity and gas from Iran<\/strong>, and suffers from frequent power outages, which is why the GGIP project<\/a><\/strong> represents a sure bet for the comprehensive energy development of the country, led by TotalEnergies together with Basra Oil Company and QatarEnergy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
