SULAIMANI (ESTA) — Iraq’s state-run North Refineries Company, which controls the Haditha refinery, has agreed a contract with the U.S. company Honeywell UOP to complete the refinery’s development project, a cabinet statement said on Tuesday.
The refinery is located in the western Anbar province and is regarded as one of the oldest refineries in the country.
The state news agency (INA) reported that developing the Haditha refinery would help to boost the country’s overall oil production, Reuters reported.
Iraq has been planning to fully develop the Haditha refinery after liberating areas around it from the Islamic State in 2018, according to Reuters.
