Iraq signs Gas Flaring Deal with US Firm

Iraq ·

The memorandum of understanding was signed between Iraq's General Company for Carbon Economics and the US-based Morgan Hughes Energy. It aims to develop projects that capture and use low-pressure associated gas now flared at oil production sites across Iraq. The signing took place under the patronage of Environment Minister Sarwa Abdul-Wahid.

Gas flaring, the burning of gas produced alongside crude oil, has long been a problem at Iraq's oil fields, wasting a resource the country also needs for power generation.
