Multiple new facilities have been constructed, including:

• the 150Mw Rumaila power plant (RPP), which uses gas captured from the field’s hydrocarbon reserves to power some of Rumaila’s infrastructure and frees capacity for the national grid
• the Qarmat Ali Water Treatment plant’s second processing unit, which can treat up to one million barrels of industrial water per day to the right specification for injecting into the subsurface
• Cluster pump station six (CPS-6), the first facility of its kind to be built at Rumaila for more than 40 years and which supports more oil production from the Mishrif reservoir in the south of the field. Work has also begun on building CPS-7
• a secure 1,000m² headquarters with modern office space for 1,000 staff and a purpose-built Rumaila Supply Base, the size of 24 football pitches.

Our field renovations are enabling facilities from the 1970s to continue to treat production fluids – oil, gas and water – at levels never previously seen in the field’s history.

Major renovations and expansions include:

• new vessels at degassing stations introduced to improve hydrocarbon separation to enhance oil quality
• upgrading the 14 degassing stations as part of a multi-year programme to maintain process integrity, operability and reliability
• new storage tanks built to store oil during export pauses
• enhancing the water injection infrastructure – upgrading of five CPSs, associated pipeline network and the existing water treatment plant at Qarmat Ali.
