Iraqi reserves r very high much than published and that is the reason the multi-national companies clamer over each other to get into iraq. It such a state that crucial decisions should be left until there is a much more stable iraq, and when iraq can negotiate from a point of strength right now deals that can be done with iraq on its knees. it ironic that southern iraqi company not given funds with the iraqi coffers full oil money to redevelop the fields existing or new creating much needed jobs in the area and beyond and resulting in iraq increased production of oil.

It would be MUCH better if they re-injected the gas into the oil reservoir to increase the percentage of recovered oil. There is no gas cap in Rumaila so (generally) the gas dissolved in the oil is the drive. The gas being flared gas represents a significant portion of the reservoir energy required to move the oil through the reservoir rock to the wells and push it out to production facilities. The projects are not mutually exclusive as there would be dry (stripped) gas available in excess of available compression for re-injection and the project would have a longer life if much of the gas were stripped and "recycled".
