Iraq_Zagros Foldbelt_Heavy oil

Iraq_Zagros Foldbelt_Heavy oil is an oil & gas field in Iraq. It extracts crude oil and natural gas at the wellhead. It emits about 1,927,360 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 449,268 cars.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-53058865.

Nel contesto: come si confronta questo impianto

Sottosettore: oil-and-gas-production. I giacimenti petroliferi e i gas e gli impianti di estrazione gestiscono compressori, apparecchiature di separazione e riscaldatori; la perdita di calore dal vapore e dalle tubazioni calde riduce l'efficienza di estrazione.
