BGC operates several assets including two gas plants, several compressor stations, a marine shipping terminal, an LPG storage terminal, and all the pipelines between. BGC captures and transports gas from oil fields of West Qurna 1, North Rumaila, South Rumaila and Zubair. This is the largest gas project in Iraq’s history and the world’s largest gas flares reduction project.
