88 Iraq Investment Map 2020-2021

Oil and gas export and distribution

pipelines
Iraq has a wide pipeline infrastructure

total of 4350 miles. There are three main
pipelines that connect Iraq to Saudi

Arabia, Turkey, Syria in addition to the
forth one (the Strategic line) that starts

from Basra in the south to Kirkuk in the

north. This line exports three quarters of
daily production from Basra oil port in the south and the rest from the north pipeline from

Kirkuk to Jihan port in Turkey.

Production, Distribution and Export:

As Iraq is developing its infrastructure
at the present time, and heading

towards expanding its productive

operations in oil field, and to attract
investments in production, distribution

and export fields for oil sector in order
to improve the current situation of oil

sector as well as it will help to attract
investments in other fields such as

export pipelines particularly in Basra

Port, and the export pipelines from
Kirkuk Province to Jihan Turkish Port. There is a wide range of needs in the south of Iraq

which includes the need to establish a new pipeline to link the resources extracted from oil

wells to refineries and to establish storage facilities in addition to expanding the ports. A
number of studies were conducted to develop infrastructure which would enable Iraq to

gain its position as a source for natural gas and this requires constructing an expanded
infrastructure for gas sector in order to enable Iraq to supply the gas pipelines heading to

Turkey and therefore it will supply major European markets.
