🔥 “Iraq’s Silent Energy Revolution: From Gas Importer to Global Exporter 💨🛢️”
A strategic pivot is reshaping Iraq’s economy—one propane shipment at a time.
🚀 Top Highlights
✅ From Importer to Exporter
Iraq has achieved self-sufficiency in gas production and has started exporting propane and LNG since 2022—a major national milestone.
✅ Breaking into Asia
In 2024, Iraq doubled its export volume with a 20,000-ton propane shipment to China, signaling entry into the Asian energy market.
✅ Consistent Export Growth
With monthly exports of 25,000–35,000 tons and annual totals over 350,000 tons, Iraq is building a reliable presence in the global gas sector.
✅ Revenue Potential
Gas exports are bringing in about $250 million/year—modest compared to oil, but strategically vital for diversification.
✅ Cautious Strategy Pays Off
Rather than rushing into competition, Iraq is gradually scaling production, building expertise, and testing capacity.
✅ Infrastructure is Key
Experts stress the need for stronger gas infrastructure and waste management to stay competitive and sustainable.
