A template for infrastructure investment in Iraq: The Basrah Gas Project has faced down challenges to serve as an example of public/private enterprise going forward

摘要

With a total estimated investment of more than US $17 billion, the Basrah Gas Project represents the largest foreign investment project in Iraq outside of the upstream sector and the first substantial foreign investment in Iraq's midstream and downstream sectors in Iraq's post-conflict era. This innovative project will provide substantial benefits to its investors and, most importantly, to the people of Iraq. In addition, its unique structure could serve as a template for future investments in Iraq's midstream and downstream sectors.
