AMARA - The first stage of a gas processing facility at the Halfaya oil field is now expected to come online ahead of schedule by early 2024, in a development that will enable Iraq to use more of its gas assets for much-needed electricity production.
The project is being built by Chinese state firm China Petroleum Engineering & Construction Corporation (CPECC) on behalf of Halfaya field operator PetroChina, the listed arm of the state-owned China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC).
