BAGHDAD/BASRA - Iraqi Oil Minister Hayyan Abdulghani said Wednesday he expects to finalize the $27 billion Gas Growth Integrated Project (GGIP) with France’s TotalEnergies within two weeks.
Abdulghani’s remarks at a conference in Baghdad came after the two sides reached a compromise agreement in early April regarding the size of Iraq’s stake in the project. Since then, they have held talks on technical details and sub-agreements that need to be finalized in order to move forward.
