Iraq’s Ministry of Oil (MoO) has invited investors to submit proposals for the construction of a 70,000 bpd capacity refinery in Anbar Province near the city of Haditha.
Refinery is located at Anbar and will enable the supply of fuel to much of the remote western region.
Iraq current produces around 4.3 million bpd of crude oil. Decades of war, sanctions, and political and economic upheaval have left a large part of Iraq’s downstream industry in need of significant investment. The Doura and Shuaiba refineries – near Baghdad and Basra respectively-remain operational, but Iraq is heavily reliant on product imports.
