Iraq: TotalEnergies Launches the Construction of the Final Two Major Projects
of the GGIP


 * Ratawi field’s full field development will increase production to 210,000
barrels per day (bpd) with no routine flaring.

 * The Common Seawater Supply Project (CSSP) with a 5 Mbpd capacity will help
preserve the country’s freshwater resources.

 * Following the start of construction of the 300 Mcf/d gas treatment plant and
the 1 GWac solar facility at the beginning of this year, all parts of the
multi-energy GGIP project are now in their execution phase.

 * Already 2,700 workers, out of which 2,000 Iraqis, are mobilized on the ground
and around 7,000 Iraqi workers will be mobilized at the peak of the
construction.

 

Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TotalEnergies
(Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE), and His Excellency Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi,
Qatari Minister of State for Energy Affairs, President and Chief Executive
Officer of QatarEnergy, met on Sunday, 14(th) of September in Baghdad with His
Excellency Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, Prime Minister of the Republic of Iraq,
and His Excellency Hayan Abulghani, Minister of Oil and Deputy Prime Minister,
to announce the start of construction of the Common Seawater Supply Project
(CSSP) and the full field development of the Ratawi oil field.

These are the two last major contracts of the Gas Growth Integrated Project
(GGIP), led by TotalEnergies (45%, operator) alongside its partners Basra Oil
Company (30%), and QatarEnergy (25%).

With these signatures, all four parts (natural gas, solar, oil, water) of the
GGIP are now in execution phase. The GGIP, a showcase project for
TotalEnergies’ multi-energy strategy, aims to sustainably develop Iraq’s
natural resources to improve the country’s electricity supply while
contributing to its energy independence and reducing its greenhouse gas
emissions.

The seawater treatment plant, a key infrastructure to preserving the
country’s water resources

The CSSP will be built on the coast near the town of Um Qasr. It will process
and transport 5 million barrels of seawater per day to the main oil fields in
southern Iraq.

Treated seawater will be substituted for the freshwater currently taken from
the Tigris, Euphrates, and aquifers to maintain pressure in the oil wells. The
project will therefore help alleviate water stress in the region and is
expected to free up to 250,000 cubic meters of freshwater per day for
irrigation and local agriculture needs.

Ongoing redevelopment of the Ratawi field, one of Iraq’s lowest-emission oil
sites

The Ratawi redevelopment was launched in September 2023. Phase 1 aims to
increase production to 120,000 bpd and is expected to come on stream by early
2026.

The launch of phase 2 (full field development) will enable to increase
production to 210,000 bpd starting in 2028 with no routine flaring.

All 160 Mcf/d of associated gas produced every day will be fully processed
thanks to the 300 Mcf/d Gas Midstream Project (GMP), whose construction began
early 2025. The GMP, which will also treat previously flared gas from two
other fields in southern Iraq, will deliver processed gas into the national
grid where it will fuel power plants with a production capacity of
approximately 1.5 GW, providing electricity to 1.5 million Iraqi households.
An Early Production facility to process 50 Mcf/d of associated gas will start
early 2026 together with the Ratawi phase 1 oil production.

“We are delighted today to award the two final contracts of the Gas Growth
Integrated Project, in particular the seawater treatment plant which has been
long awaited by the oil industry in Iraq. In less than 2 years since the GGIP
effective date in August 2023, TotalEnergies and its partners have fully
executed their commitment towards the people of Iraq and launched all projects
included in the multienergy GGIP projet, the best showcase of TotalEnergies
transition strategy. All these projects will bring a significant contribution
to the Iraq economy and employ during the construction phase 7,000 Iraqi
nationals,” declared Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
of TotalEnergies. “Furthermore, I am proud to confirm that the first phase
of the associated gas, oil and solar projects will start-up as soon as early
2026.”
