Erbil-Dohuk gas pipeline

The Erbil-Dohuk pipeline is a project under construction, as of mid-2012, by the KAR Group, built to transport gas to a power plant in Dohuk, near the Turkish border. However according to Iraq Oil Report, the pipeline also has serious strategic implications, in that the Dohuk plant needs only around 100 million cubic feet (mcf) of gas per day, while the pipeline has a capacity of 400 mcf, leaving space for potential exports. According to the report, this would suggest that the KRG might be looking to build a pipeline extending beyond Dohuk and north into Turkey.
