KHOR AL-ZUBAIR - The director of Iraq's state-run South Gas Company (SGC) says his goal is to process all of the associated gas that is generated as a byproduct of crude production at Basra oil fields, much of which is currently burned in a wasteful practice known as flaring.
Iraq's flagship initiative to end flaring is the Basra Gas Company (BGC), a joint venture between the SGC (51 percent), Royal Dutch Shell (44 percent), and Mitsubishi (5 percent), which is responsible for processing associated gas from the Rumaila, West Qurna 1, and Zubair oil fields.
