1.1 GENERAL

1.2 Purpose

This document outlines the Electrical Design Basis to be followed for the design,
selection and supply of Electrical Equipments for Power Plant Area of Ahdeb Oilfield
Surface Facilities Development PROJECT.

This document should be read in conjunction with the technical requirements specified
in the Equipment Data Sheets and related PROJECT specifications, codes and
standards.

1.3 PROJECT Overview

AI-Waha Petroleum Company Limited [The "OWNER" - A joint venture of CNPC

(75%) and NOC - Iraq (25%)] plans to develop Ahdeb Oilfield, located south of
Baghdad, Iraq. The peak oil production expected from this field is 120,000 BOPD
of heavy crude oil (API gravity of 21-23). The oilfield is located at the agricultural
area of alluvial plain formed by Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, which is 20m above
sea level.

The PROJECT is titled "Ahdeb Oilfield Surface Facilities Development PROJECT".

The first phase of the PROJECT is expected to be completed by 2011 and commercial
production will be started with 60,000 BOPD (Two processing trains in CPF). Two
more trains with 60,000 BOPD combined capacity will be commissioned in 2012 to
reach the final capacity of oil processing to 120,000 BOPD... Production enhancement
by water injection will also be implemented in different phases.

The produced oil is pumped through a new pipeline to existing strategic pipeline
terminal station PS2. A part of produced oil is also sent via a new pipeline to existing
Zubaidiya Power plant as fuel.

Associated gas will be pressure boosted, sweetened and used as internal fuel as well
as exported to existing Zubaidiya power plant through a pipeline. This facility will be
commissioned along with first set of CPF trains in 2011. During the next phase, two
trains of dehydration, dehydrocarbon, LPG separation, LPG storage, LPG loading
facility and a single Sulphur recovery unit will be added. .LPG produced from the gas
processing plant is sent to Kut city via trucks. Sulphur produced is also trucked out for
shipping/disposal.

Produced water during first phase will be sent to disposal wells. The water will be used
as main source for injection during second phase after treatment to the required
quality. Utility and potable water will be sourced from Tigris river through dedicated
facility in Phase I. A second source of fresh water from canal is also planned during
the second phase of the PROJECT.

The PROJECT also involves the development of supporting utilities and infrastructure
which is required for the safe functioning of the surface facilities to meet the "OWNER"
objectives.

It is planned to drill several wells (including producers and water injectors) during the
development of the field in different phases. The scope of developing the subsurface
facility and well heads entirely rests with the "OWNER".

The FEED (Front End Engineering Design) of this PROJECT is undertaken by CPE
(China Petroleum Engineering Company, Beijing). CPECC (China Petroleum
Engineering and Construction Corporation, Beijing) is nominated as the EPC
CONTRACTOR for the PROJECT. The detailed design of the PROJECT will be
executed jointly by CPE and CH2M HILL.
