According to Neftegaz. RU in Baghdad, Luke Oil may invest $45 billion in Iraq's oil projects by 2035. Luke Petroleum has invested about $8 billion in this area, which will reach about $45 billion by 2035, according to the agreement. In the Middle East, Iraq has become the centre of Luke Oil's strategic policy of increasing overseas production. Because of the huge reserves of traditional oil and gas, Iraq is one of the most promising areas in the world to increase oil production.

In 2014, Luke began industrial oil production in the West Gurna-2 oilfield in the south of the country. This is one of the largest mineral deposits in the world. Sigurna-2, located in southern Iraq, is 65 km northwest of the main port city of Basra. On March 29, 2014, commercial oil production began in the oilfield.
