Our work in Iraq

We are present in the Iraqi exploration sector, where we develop the oil and gas field of Al-Zubair, located in the south of the country in the region of Basra. At the same time we are involved in numerous projects to support the population in the fields of education, healthcare and the environment, and to promote access to water. To aid energy diversification, we are active in various sectors in the Middle East, from the production of hydrocarbons and refining to the development of high-tech energy efficiency solutions, in what is a geographically strategic area.

How we operate in country

We produce hydrocarbons and facilitate access to energy

The production of oil and gas in Iraq is possible thanks to the development of the Al-Zubair field, where associated gas is also used to generate electricity. We work with the state company to expand the Permanent Power Generation Plant project, which aims to develop a new line of connection to the national grid, contributing to satisfying the high level of demand for electricity in the city of Baara and creating jobs.

To contribute to development and stability in the country, we improve the services of the national health system and promote the training of healthcare professionals. Initiatives have been launched across the country to support school education, including projects in the schools of Basra Governorate and the Al-Zubair District, and a project to improve the quality of the water network in the city of Basra, launched with UNICEF and the European Union, is currently ongoing.
