  Iraq aims to ramp up oil and gas output

  • 16 8月 2024

  Iraq’s upstream sector is undergoing rapid change, with an increasingly diverse corporate ecosystem, and significant investment being funneled into boosting oil and gas production. That said, crucial infrastructure issues still need to be overcome, and a lack of exploration activity remain a challenge. Iraq’s gas output could more than double by 2030 to reach 4.4 bcfd and oil output could hit 5.5 million b/d, in that same time frame, according to the report “Iraq’s upstream opportunities: a review” from Wood Mackenzie.

  A tale of a looming surplus in the lithium industry: sticky supply to stay?

  • 01 8月 2024

  A looming over-supply in the lithium market is undisputed.
