The Ministry of Oil announced, on Monday, that Iraq is close to achieving self-sufficiency in gasoline, while indicating that measures have been taken that have contributed to the decline in smuggling of petroleum derivatives.
The Director of the Oil Products Distribution Company, Hussein Talib, said: “The issue of reducing the import of petroleum derivatives depends on two important matters, the first of which is related to the refining industries and the development of refineries and their entry into operation, such as the Karbala refinery, which is considered one of the most modern refineries and produces 140,000 barrels, and the Northern Refineries Group, which has also entered into operation, in addition to developing the Dora refinery and adding the isomerization unit and the Shuaiba refinery.”
He explained that “these factors have led to the provision of products and reduced the import of petroleum derivatives,” noting that “Iraq has reached self-sufficiency in gas oil and white oil products, while self-sufficiency in high-octane gasoline (improved) will be achieved during 2025 according to the plans set by the Ministry of Oil and specialized agencies.”
He added, "The second matter that depends on reducing the import of petroleum derivatives is regulating the equipment and determining the real consumption of petroleum products. There are mechanisms put in place by the Oil Products Distribution Company to reduce unreal consumption, including issuing a fuel card for gasoline in Kirkuk and Nineveh governorates.

He pointed out that "gas oil is tightly controlled and we have controlled the flow of petroleum derivatives by installing GPRS systems for government and private cars," indicating that "this issue has limited the sale outside the controls and smuggling of petroleum derivatives."

He added, "Smuggling operations have declined during the current year as a result of the tightening of control over the software and technologies put in place by the Oil Products Distribution Company."
