BP RUMAILA

BP and CNPC consortium aims to expand the field’s production to about 2.85 million barrels per day in the next five years. Rumaila will become the second largest oil field in the world after Saudi Arabia’s Ghawar field, if the targeted production is reached. The field’s oil reserves are estimated at 17 billion barrels.

The requirement for increased production requires the building of a number of Produced Water Reinjection stations.

The Operators decided to build in CS rather than CRA, saving vast sums of money. The operating conditions are extremely aggressive and all internals had to be lined, making this a fascinating corrosion control project.
