Is LNG en route to Iraq? <\/strong>Opec+ member Iraq inked a preliminary agreement with Qatar and Oman to receive an unspecified amount of LNG by summer 2026, Zawya<\/a> quotes Iraqi Electricity Ministry spokesperson Ahmed Mousa as saying. The move comes as Iraq aims to boost its gas supply \u2014 with the two Gulf nations supplying it with LNG until Iraq\u2019s gas production becomes sufficient, Mousa added.<\/p>\n

Take that, Washington: <\/strong>The decision comes after Washington objected to giving the go-ahead to Iraq to uptake 20 mn cbm of Turkmen gas per day through a swap agreement \u2014 held up since last October<\/a> when it was inked. The agreement\u2019s execution is still pending as the US is concerned that the transit mechanism through Iran may violate international sanctions.<\/p>\n

No giving up until gas is acquired: <\/strong>Iraq is mulling over other options to acquire gas, with the country awarding a contract<\/a> to US-based firm Excelerate Energy to set up an offshore floating LNG import terminal in Umm Qasr port and other unnamed southern Iraqi ports. No timeline has been disclosed for contract finalization and implementation. <\/p>\n

Lots of trade troubles for Iraq: <\/strong>The US abrogated a waiver in March<\/a> to allow Iraq to import Iranian electricity, undermining Iraq\u2019s power output, which relies on electricity and natural gas imports, as Iraq needs 40 GW to keep the lights on throughout the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
