Project Profile
Value: US$10000 Million
Startup Year: 2016
Location: Baghdad Province, North Baghdad - Al-Basrah Province, Basra
Phase two will include a 1.5 million b/d heavy crude oil pipeline from Basra to North Baghdad, which will then be diverted to the Syrian port of Tartus for export into the Mediterranean. The ministry is also considering a gas line from Basra to Kirkuk running along Iraq’s eastern provinces. The plans also call for at least five new oil depots, with two at Kirkuk and Basra, and one at Haditha.
There is also the possibility of a trans-Iraq liquid petroleum gas (LPG) pipeline.
The project is part of Iraq’s Oil Ministry\'s US$50bn programme to rehabilitate its oil and gas export pipelines.
