Sudani: Beji’s refinery returns to be a personal witness to the will of the Iraqi people

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani confirmed today, Friday, during the ceremony of the opening of the North Refinery in Baiji, that this refinery will return to be a personal witness to the will of the Iraqi people.

Al-Sudani said in the text of his speech during the opening: “We stand with respect and respect for the martyrs and wounded who defended this land and liberated the refinery from ISIS gangs.”

Al-Sudani added: “We visited this refinery in May 2023, to see its reality and stand on the recovered equipment and machinery, which came at the initiative of citizen Baran Ahmed Younis and with the cooperation of the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq,” noting that “Iraq with its production of more than 4 million barrels per day is still importing oil derivatives, a policy that has been in place for decades.”

He pointed out that “with this achievement, we are close to securing the full needs of the country of derivatives, no later than the middle of next year,” pointing out that “billions of dollars will be saved and monitored for other service and economic aspects by stopping the import of oil derivatives, and this is the real reform.”

Al-Sudani continued: “The will and determination of the champions in the North Refineries Company, and the supporting national companies, achieved this national achievement in 7 months, and it is assumed that the time limit may take 3-4 years.”

He continued: “The government has put the oil and gas sector at the top of its priorities, according to programs and plans studied on the importance of investing this wealth, in order to achieve the best returns,” stressing that “projects are implemented for the first time, such as the investment of associated gas, and today international companies, and the national effort are working in more than one site and a field, to end the burning of gas within a period of 3-5 years.”

Al-Sudani added: “We are preparing the plan for investment projects inside and outside Iraq in a new policy that we adopt by investing oil in the petrochemical and transformational industries; to get the greatest return.”

“The Baiji refinery returns to be a personal witness to the will, determination and determination of the Iraqi people,” he concluded.
