This visit comes as part of the federal government’s efforts to support investment in the energy sector and enhance economic development in oil-producing provinces.
Two Kirkuk officials revealed new details on Friday (January 31, 2025) regarding the province’s new refinery project, confirming that the contract is worth $2 billion and that its equipment is being supplied by the American company UOP .
Kirkuk Governor’s Advisor for Investment Affairs, Ali Hammadi, told Shafaq News Agency, “The signing of the Kirkuk Governorate administration, represented by Governor Rebwar Taha Mustafa, of the contract to implement the construction of the Kirkuk oil refinery will contribute significantly to meeting the governorate’s needs for gasoline and fuel.”
He added, “The project contract is valued at $2 billion, with an implementation period of two to three years. The project will also provide approximately 3,000 job opportunities for Kirkuk residents.” He indicated that “the coming period will witness the project’s entry into force after the completion of the necessary procedures for handing over the project land to the company.”
The project is part of the Iraqi Ministry of Oil’s plans and programs to meet the country’s domestic demand for petroleum products and export the surplus through investment refinery projects.
The refinery is scheduled to produce 70,000 barrels per day of high-quality petroleum derivatives, according to government statements.
Earlier, the director of Rania Energy and Oil Company, Jalal Haj Ahmed, told Shafaq News Agency, “The company’s signing of the contract with the Kirkuk administration is an important step, as the company will work to establish the refinery according to international specifications and adhere to the deadlines for its operation. The refinery will be equipped by the large American company UOP .” He indicated that “the equipment and supplies will be the first of their kind and environmentally friendly.”
