This upgrade marks a transformative step in enhancing safety and operational efficiency across the field.
Previously, shutting down an ESP required on-site manual intervention in potentially hazardous conditions. This process exposed staff to risk and introduced critical time delays depending on location and circumstances.
Now, the Variable Speed Drives can be stopped and shut down remotely from the degassing stations, reducing the risks to personnel and the environment. The new system also allows for ESPs to be shut down within 5 to 20 seconds. This minimizes the window of potential escalation in emergency situations, setting a new standard for safety at Rumaila.
