Iraq starts long-delayed gas exports | The National

Iraq starts long-delayed gas exports | The National:

"Iraq’s first-ever export of gas from its southern oilfields will add a new source of export revenue to the struggling government’s coffers.

The Basra Gas Company (BGC), a partnership between Iraq’s South Gas Company and Royal Dutch Shell, confirmed yesterday that it had exported the first cargo of associated gas condensate from its much-delayed project near the southern port city of Basra on Sunday.

“This first condensate cargo leaving BGC’s marine terminal ... opens up a new revenue stream for the country at a time of real need," said the deputy minister of oil for gas affairs, Hamid Younis."
