The project includes the construction of additional production and infrastructure facilities to meet Lukoil Mid-East’s production target of 800 kBOPD per day at the West Qurna-2 field.
The West Qurna-2 field is located in the southeastern part of Iraq, 64 km west of Basra and 32 km southwest of the Zubair Oil Field.
The West Qurna-2 area includes the lower reaches of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers and the Shatt Al Arab River at their confluence. The area is broadly defined as a low plateau with elevations ranging from 5 to 50 m and is located in the northernmost part of the Rumaila Field.
The project generally consists of the following sub-sections:
- Expansion of existing 6 Well-pads (numbered 2, 5, 7, 8, I0 and 12) by connecting 52 wells
- Connection of 2 water injection wells to well-pad-7 and well-pad-8
- Connecting well WQ-8 to the manifold in existing well-pad 2
- Connecting well WQ-148 to the manifold in existing well-pad 7
CP Scope:
An external current source system (ICCP) was selected for the cathodic protection of the caissons and metallic underground pipes in the facility. The cathodic protection system under Kortek’s contract within the scope of the related project covers 11 TR units, 49 distribution panels, 11 deep well anode beds (all related materials including MMO anode, caisson pipe, coke dust etc.) and the production and shipment of all related materials have been completed.
