摘要

London-Iraq is likely to see little impact on its growing fuel import needs next year despite a major expansion to the country's third-largest refinery, the southern Basra plant, Iraq's deputy oil minister Ahmed al-Shamma said September 8. Speaking to reporters in London, Shamma said work on a 70,000 b/d capacity upgrade at the refinery is set to expand the capacity of the plant to 210,000 b/d from early 2012.
