Flare Gas to Power in Iraq: A Modular Gas-to-Power Package with JICHAI

Iraq oilfields face two problems at the same time: gas is still flared, and onsite power is often costly or unreliable. OWELL Generators provides a flare gas to power package that supports gas flaring reduction by converting associated gas into stable electricity for oilfield operations.

The solution is designed as a modular gas power plant for remote oilfield operations. It combines gas control and conditioning with JICHAI gas generator sets, and can be delivered as a containerized gas genset plant for oil and gas facilities to reduce field work and speed up deployment.

Recommended ratings for Iraq projects are based on what oil & gas operators usually need on site:

• 1350 kW JICHAI gas generator set: a strong standard block for staged capacity and modular growth
• 2000 kW JICHAI gas generator set: higher output per unit for larger loads and fewer running sets

Both ratings can run as single units or as parallel gas generator sets for oilfield prime power, allowing staged expansion as the field grows.

To size the plant correctly, OWELL typically starts with gas availability (flow/pressure), a load list or load curve, and the operating mode (island or grid-tied). With these inputs, OWELL can propose an associated gas power generation package EPC-ready, matched to Iraqi site conditions.

FAQ

1. Can it handle variable gas quality? Yes—this is a gas-to-power system with gas conditioning and gensets, built for real oilfield gas.
2. What loads does it fit? Commonly onsite power generation using associated petroleum gas (APG) for pumps, utilities, and camps.
3. Why JICHAI? A proven platform for associated gas applications and long-hour operation in oil & gas sites.
