Basrah Gas Company is a 25-year-incorporated joint venture based in Basra, Iraq, focused on capturing associated gas that would otherwise be flared from three southern oil fields—Rumaila, West Qurna 1, and Zubair. It is owned by South Gas Company (51%), Shell (44%), and Mitsubishi Corporation (5%), forming a significant partnership in Iraq’s oil and gas sector. By diverting flare gas into productive use, the company supports more efficient resource utilization and reduces emissions from oil production. In 2024 the company announced collaborations with the World Food Programme and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to work with local farmers, alongside a nationwide communications partnership with BT Group. These engagements illustrate Basrah Gas Company’s broader stakeholder involvement beyond its core gas-capture activities.
