And Al-Marsoumi indicated that "Iraq's exports of condensate in 2021 amounted to 139 thousand tons, with a value of 71 million dollars, and that Iraq's exports of liquid gas were estimated at 456 thousand tons, worth 288 million dollars, and Iraq's current needs of natural gas were 3,083 cubic meters per day."
Towards Self-Sufficiency
