About two-thirds of Iraq’s natural gas output is associated natural gas, which is a byproduct of oil production.45 Production cuts from Iraq’s oil fields in early 2020, following the OPEC+ agreement, lowered associated natural gas output as well, and natural gas output was around 260 billion cubic feet per year (Bcf/y).
Federal Iraq’s available peak electricity generation supply was nearly 23 GW for 2022. The available supply in 2022 was much lower than the 34 GW needed to meet peak summer demand.66 Iraq’s electricity use is very seasonal and reaches peak capacity in the summer months.
Federal Iraq sends this volume to the refinery in Erbil for processing and local consumption.13 Following the Iraq-to-Turkey pipeline closure, the KRG has had a hard time making a profit and has received loans from Federal Iraq over the past several months to pay civil servant salaries.14
According to the World Bank, Iraq flared more than 630 Bcf of natural gas in 2022, ranking as the second-largest source country of flared natural gas in the world, behind Russia.47 Natural gas is flared because of insufficient pipeline capacity and other midstream infrastructure to move the natural gas from crude oil production areas.
Iraq’s total seaborne-traded crude oil exports averaged nearly 3.6 million b/d in 2022, which was more than 230,000 b/d above the previous year, based on tanker loadings data.76 The rise in exports reflects Iraq’s higher crude oil production as the OPEC+ cuts gradually reversed through 2022.
