Gas Output at Iraqi Field Hikes

The Missan Oil Company has increased volumes of processed gas from the Halfaya Oil Field , with the Halfaya Gas Receiving Station (GRS) now receiving and processing up to 190 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd).

In a statement to the state-run Iraqi News Agency (INA), the company said the facility has undergone significant development since its construction in 2012, becoming a key supplier of processed gas to power generation plants. National management assumed full operational control of the station in 2014 following the handover from PetroChina.

The company highlighted a series of expansion works, including the construction of the GRS2 station, infrastructure upgrades to handle all gas produced from the Halfaya field, and the installation of sludge catcher equipment to improve supply efficiency in line with the requirements of the Ministry of Electricity and the Maysan investment power plant.

Since mid-2024, the Gas Processing Plant (GPP) has been operational, enabling the station to process between 180 and 190 million standard cubic feet per day. The gas undergoes multiple treatment stages, including condensate removal and heating to ensure operational readiness.

The processed gas supplies the Amarah gas power plant and the Maysan investment power plant, supporting electricity generation of between 1,300 and 1,400 megawatts. The company said this reflects coordination between production, engineering, health and safety, and metering teams to ensure reliable supply and accurate accounting.
