"ABOUT THESE REFINERIES UP AND RUNNING IN IRAQ RIGHT NOW" BY MNT GOAT, 2 MAY

IRAQ TALKS ABOUT PRODUCING ONE MILLION LITERS OF GASOLINE DAILY

Baghdad – Iraq Today:

The Iraqi Ministry of Oil announced the completion of the project to operate the Azmra unit in both Basra Refinery with a capacity of 1.3 million liters per day, and the Central Refineries Company in Dora with a capacity of 750 thousand liters per day.

The Undersecretary for Refinery Affairs, Hamed Younis, said in a press statement that “the operation of the Azmra unit in the Middle Refineries Company contributes to maximizing and improving inventory, adding a production capacity of 750,000 liters per day, in addition to dispensing with the import of high-octane gasoline by 1.5 liters per day. ”

Younis stressed the keenness of the federal government and the ministry to “increase refining capacity production rates and improve production in national refineries to reach self-sufficiency and gradually shift to exporting them to global markets, according to the Arab World News Agency.”

(Well…well…its about time that Iraq got these refineries up and running. Lots of article about this effort over the last ten years. 😊 Did I hear of another export product here?)
