據石油新聞2020年9月9月迪拜報道，伊拉克石油部長Ihsan Ismaael日前在與總部位于約旦的伊拉克商業委員會的網絡直播中表示，伊拉克時下正在與意大利石油巨頭埃尼公司就在伊拉克南部祖拜爾油田附近建造一個具有日加工30萬桶原油能力的的煉油廠進行談判，這個新建煉油廠預計將耗資40億美元。

Ihsan Ismaael在9月7日舉行的網絡直播中說，這個項目的第一階段包括到2025年前試運轉15萬桶/天。

記者未能立即聯系到埃尼公司的置評。

埃尼公司網站顯示，埃尼公司目前持有祖拜爾油田41.56%的股份，其合作伙伴韓國天然氣公司(Kogas)持有23.75%的股份，伊拉克國有的巴士拉石油公司(Basra oil Co.)持有29.69%的股份，另一家伊拉克國有合作伙伴持有5%的股份。

Ismaael表示，到2027年前祖拜爾油田的原油日產量將達到70萬桶，但他沒有透露祖拜爾油田目前的產量水平。
