Context and Environment

The South Gas Company (SGC), a governmental sector company part of the Iraqi Ministry of Oil companies, has been tasked with developing a Gas Hub in Southern Iraq Basra province. The objective is to valorize currently flared associated gas from regional oil fields by gathering and transporting this gas to a new gas processing plant (GPP).

The scope includes:

1. A Gas gathering system:
   • Import raw gas pipelines from upstream gas compression stations.
   • Export production pipelines (dry gas, LPG & Condensate) and raw water import pipelines.
2. A Gas processing Plant (GPP) facility that will process raw gas to produce:
   • Dry gas (C1 & C2).
   • LPG (C3 & C4).
   • Condensates (C5+).
3. Condensate storage and export facilities (off-loading jetty).

The immediate development plan is to design and install a first gas processing train of 300 MMSCFD as part of Phase 1. However, the process plant, the layout, the ICSS, the power plant, etc., shall be developed in a way that is expandable for a second gas processing train of the same capacity.

Accountabilities

• Supervise and coordinate EPC contractors for electrical activities.
• Manage project costs, schedules, and interdisciplinary coordination.
