The Ratawi oil field is an onshore field in Basra Governorate, Iraq. Discovered in 1950 and developed by Basrah Oil Company, production began in 2018. The field currently produces about 250,000 barrels of oil per day and around 8.6 million cubic meters of gas per day.

Proved oil reserves are about 10 billion barrels, with oil in place around 1.4 billion tonnes. Gas in place is about 50 billion cubic meters.

In January 2025, TotalEnergies announced plans to build a plant to process gas that is flared from the field, turning waste gas into usable energy.
