Iraq: Agreement between the Iraqi government and TotalEnergies

TotalEnergies and the Iraqi government have confirmed the terms of the contract for the development and production of the GGIP project, with Basrah Oil Company holding 30% and QatarEnergy 25%. The $10 billion project aims to improve Iraq's electricity supply.

Thanks to discussions over the past few months, in particular on four occasions between Prime Minister Al-Soudani and CEO Patrick Pouyanné, the Iraqi government and TotalEnergies have confirmed all the terms of the Development & Production Contract signed in 2021 and jointly defined the conditions and mutual assurances necessary to move forward on the GGIP (Gas Growth Integrated Project).

The Iraqi government and TotalEnergies have agreed on a 30% stake for Basrah Oil Company (BOC) in the GGIP project. In addition, in agreement with the Iraqi government, TotalEnergies has invited QatarEnergy to take a 25% stake in the project. The consortium will be composed of TotalEnergies (45%), Basrah Oil Company (30%) and QatarEnergy (25%).

TotalEnergies welcomes the continuity of the State of Iraq’s word on this contract, which sends a strong and positive signal for foreign investment in the country. Signed in September 2021, the GGIP project aims to develop Iraq’s natural resources to improve the country’s electricity supply. Under the agreements, TotalEnergies and its partners will invest approximately $10 billion (in 100%) to, among other things: recover flared gas from three oil fields to supply gas to power plants, build a seawater treatment plant to maintain oil field pressure and increase regional production.

In addition, TotalEnergies will develop a giant 1 GW solar power plant to supply the Basra region’s electricity grid. In agreement with the Iraqi authorities, TotalEnergies has invited the Saudi company ACWA Power to participate in this solar project.
