IRAQ’S POWER SECTOR
Networks for the Distribution of Electricity
Types of Consumers
• Government Entities
• Households
• Industrial
• Commercial
• Agricultural
Losses of Electrical Energy Within Distribution Networks was ~50-60%.
Ministry of Electricity Has Privatized Tariff Collection Plus Maintenance of
Distribution Networks. Underground Networks and SMART METERS Are
Being Adapted.
Average Tariff Over All Types of Consumers Should Be At Least
8¢ US/kWh or 100 IQD/kWh If Government Subsidies Are to Be Mostly
Eliminated.
MOE Produced 92.1 x 106MWh During 2016.
At This Price Then 2016 Total Revenue Would Have Reached ~7.4 BUSD.

Twelve 132 kV Sub-Stations Every Year
At Least 500 km of 400 kV Transmission Lines
At Least 1000 km of 132 kV Transmission Lines

Conclusion: Annual Increase in Generation capacity of 7% is insufficient
to close theSupply/Demand gap! Annual increase should be ~15% for a
few years to reduce the short fall significantly.

Environmental Impact (EI)
1 Ton of Fossil Fuel Burnt Amount of CO2 Produced (Ton)
NG 2.75
HFO, Crude Oil, Diesel 3.7
Coal 4.0
- CO2 a by-product of fossil fuel burning is the main cause
of Global Warming (Greenhouse Effect).
- NG as a fuel has the least EI. Flammability limits in air are 5-15%
- For equal heat ( Calorific Value) output
- Burning of Processed Gas Produces no SOx and very low NOx
Reduces CO2 emissions by 35%.
- Using Gas as fuel for thermal power plants reduces maintenance
costs by a factor of 3. Down times are also reduced thus providing a
significant increase in availability.
- Gas as Fuel for Gas Turbines will increase Output by 20% When
Compared With Crude Oil or Heavy Fuel Oil.

IRAQ’S POWER SECTOR
Iraq’s Natural Gas (NG)
Proven recoverable reserves 2.7 TCM (11th worldwide).
70% from associated gas, 20% from non-associated gas; i.e. from gas fields, 10% from
gas caps or dome gas.
Proven reserves could increase to 8.5 TCM if exploration is extended to many new areas
not yet explored. Iraq could then be fourth or fifth worldwide in proven gas reserves.
Available Raw Associated Gas in Iraq Today ~ 1900 mmscfd.
Iraq’s Current Gas Processing Capacity ~ 1000 mmscfd
North Gas Company(NGC) Capacity 400 mmscfd (2 x 200 mmscfd trains) South Gas Company(SGC) Capacity 700 mmscfd
Processed Gas Currently Available and Utilized for Various Industries Including
Power Generation ~ 750 mmscfd (150 mmscfd from NGC and 600 from SGC).
Processing Capacity of 200 mmscfd in NGC Not Utilized!
Flared Gas ~ 1000 mmscfd.
Price of Iran Supplied NG per 1mmBtu is 11% of Brent Price/bbl.
Assume Brent Price = 50 USD/bbl. Then Current Value of Flared Gas at Iranian
Price is 5.4 MUSD/d ~ 2.0 BUSD/year.

Estimate of Fuel Needs for Electricity Generation
Iraq’s total electricity production during 2016 was 92 x 106MWh.
Assume Average Efficiency For The Conversion of Chemical Energy In The
Fuel To Electrical Energy is 34%.
Remember 1 BOE = 5650scf = 5.69 mmbtu = 6000 MJ = 1.667 MWh.
To Produce 92 x 106MWh of Electrical Energy During 2016 Then MOE Needed
To Burn
750 mmscfd of Gas Was Burnt = 133,000 BOE/day.
Then 445,000 – 133,000 = 312,000 BOE/day of Liquid Fuel Was Burned
During 2016.
Probably 200,000 BOE/day of Crude Oil Was Burned During 2016.
Remaining 112,000 BOE/day of HFO and Diesel Fuel Was Burned
During 2016.
92 x 106
1.667 x 0.34 x 365 = 445,000 BOE/day
Page # 17
IRAQ’S POWER SECTOR
Price of Iranian Gas
Iranian Gas Is Priced per mmbtu at 11% of Brent Price/bbl.
Assume Brent Price Today At 50 USD/bbl.
With 1 BOE = 5.69 mmbtu, Then Price of Iranian Gas = 31 USD/BOE.
Therefore, IT IS CHEAPER TO BURN IRANIAN GAS THAN TO BURN CRUDE OIL.
SAVINGS FOR 200,000 bbl/day OF CRUDE OIL WOULD BE:
OPEC’s Decision For Ceiling On Crude Oil Production Reduced Iraq’s Crude
Oil Production By 200,000 bbl/day.
If Iraq Shifts From Burning Crude Oil To Gas Then It Can Export An Extra
200,000 bbl/day. Without Increasing Crude Oil Production Capacity And
Maintaining OPEC’s Restriction on Total Crude Production.
2.4 MUSD/day or 876 MUSD/year
Page # 18
IRAQ’S POWER SECTOR
In Conclusion My Messages Are As Follows-
1) Reduce Losses In the Electrical Distribution Networks.
2) Reduce Bottlenecks In Electricity Transmission.
3) Convert All Open Cycle Gas Turbine Power Plants to Combined
Cycle. This Would Increase Power to the Grid By At Least 3000 MW At
No Additional Fuel Cost.
4) Processed Dry Gas is the best fuel for power generation
economically, environmentally and technically. Therefore, All Fuel
Burning Power Plants Must Be Supplied With Gas.
5) The Use of Gas Would Increase Output of Existing Gas Turbine Power
Plants by at least 20% or 1200MW.
6) All Flared Gas MUST BE PROCESSED ASAP. Annual Savings of 2 BUSD
Are Foreseen.

IRAQ’S POWER SECTOR
In Conclusion My Messages Are As Follows-
7) Import Iranian Gas And Substitute All Crude Oil Burning For Power
Production By Iranian Gas Thereby Saving 876 MUSD/year.
8) Increase Crude Oil Export By 200,000 bbl/day Without Affecting
OPEC’s Agreed Crude Oil Production Ceiling. Thereby, Increasing
Iraq’s Crude Oil Revenue by 10 MUSD/day or 3.65 Billion USD/year.
9) Develop All Available Free Gas Fields To Enhance Gas Availability
In Addition to Processing of Associated Gas.
10)Construct A New 150 km Pipeline to Link Taza With Mansuriya so
that Available Gas from NGC of circa 200 mmscfd could be used
for Power Generation. Also, this Pipeline will Provide an Alternative
Route to Central Iraq.
