Iraq to Revive Project for Building LNG Depots

Iraq has approved plans to revive a war-crippled project to build liquefied natural gas depots in its largest governorate, the official Iraqi News Agency reported on Friday.
The project to build the gas tanks in the Western Al-Anbar Governorate was launched in 2011 but it was stalled by internal hostilities for many years, the agency said.
“We have obtained approval from the Oil Ministry to restart the project to build LNG tanks in the Governorate,” Khalaf Tarmooz, an adviser to the governor, said.
“The tanks would have a storage capacity of 3,000 cubic meters for storing and distributing gas to public establishments and factories.”
Tarmooz did not mention how many tanks would be built but noted that the reserve would be sufficient for one month in case of disruption or emergency.
