Iraq’s semi-autonomous Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) is extending its gas pipeline network toward the Turkish border — a project that promises to unlock gas supplies at multiple fields, increase domestic power generation, and pave the way for potential future exports.
The KRG Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) signed an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract with the Iraqi Kurdish company KAR Group in December 2021, and implementation has already begun, according to three industry officials and one official at the KRG Ministry of Electricity.
