Iraq is seeking to invest in gas extraction from the Western Desert, with the aim to reach self-sufficiency by 2025, the Iraqi oil minister announced yesterday. Ihsan Abdul Jabbar said that Iraq was continuing to "increase its capabilities to export liquefied petroleum gas, and accelerate programmes to use gas in electric power production instead of liquid fuel."
