ANKARA, Turkey, July 14 (UPI) -- Iraq can offer nearly 530 billion cubic feet of natural gas for the Nabucco pipeline by 2015 to help allay supply concerns, the Iraqi prime minister said.
Ankara hosted regional delegates Monday for the signing of an intergovernmental agreement on the $10.3 billion Nabucco gas pipeline to Europe. Europe hopes the pipeline will bring diversity to a regional energy sector that relies heavily on Russia. The project faces a series of setbacks in terms of project financing and commitments to fill its expected capacity of 1.09 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, however. Azerbaijan is the only country to express its readiness for Nabucco, though recent gas deals with Russian energy giant Gazprom may complicate Baku's energy ties with Europe. Project backers see the Monday agreement as a milestone for the 2,050-mile pipeline, noting the enthusiasm expressed at the ceremony will encourage more suppliers to come onboard.

Iraq News - Breaking World Iraq News. Today in Iraq. Country profile: Ira. Iraq, which occupies an area once home to some of the earliest known civilisations, became a battleground for competing forces after the US-led ouster of President Saddam Hussein in 2003.
The mainly Shia-led governments that have held power since then have struggled to maintain order, and the country has enjoyed only brief periods of respite from high levels of sectarian violence. Instability and sabotage have hindered efforts to rebuild an economy shattered by decades of conflict and sanctions, even though Iraq has the world's second largest reserves of crude oil.
