The Missan Oil Company has raised the amount of gas it processes from the Halfaya oil field, with the Halfaya Gas Receiving Station now handling up to 190 million standard cubic feet per day.
The company said the station has seen major upgrades since it was first built in 2012. Over the years, it has turned into an important source of fuel for power plants. In 2014, Iraqi management took full control of operations after the site was handed over from PetroChina.
Officials explained that several expansion projects were completed, including the construction of a second gas receiving station, known as GRS2. The company also upgraded infrastructure so it can handle all the gas produced at the Halfaya field. New sludge catcher equipment was installed as well, helping gas flow more smoothly and meet the needs of the Ministry of Electricity and the Maysan investment power plant.
Since mid-2024, the Gas Processing Plant has been fully operational. It now processes between 180 and 190 million standard cubic feet of gas per day. The gas goes through several treatment steps, including removing condensates and heating, to make sure it is ready for use.
The processed gas is sent to the Amarah gas power plant and the Maysan investment power plant. Together, these facilities generate between 1,300 and 1,400 megawatts of electricity. The company said this progress is the result of strong coordination between production, engineering, safety, and metering teams to keep supplies steady and accurately tracked.
