1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Project Description
China ZhenHuaOil Co., LTD. (ZhenHuaOil, hereinafter referred to as Company) holds
rights for development and production of the contract areas East Baghdad South
Oilfield (EBS Oilfield) which is located in the 14km of northeastern Baghdad, the
capital of Iraq, 70 km northwest of Ahdeb oilfield. The oilfield extends about 60km in
the NW-SE direction and 12km in the SW-NE direction. The concession of EBS oilfield
covers 658 km2.
EBS oilfield is located in the agricultural area of alluvial plain formed by Tigris and
Euphrates Rivers, 30~40m above sea level. Tigris River is close to the northern part of
the field located in an agricultural area with some villages. The transportation is
convenient, an expressway joins Baghdad and Basra passes by the oilfield.
Except for a few old wellheads, EBS oilfield is completely new to be developed.
According to preliminary development plan, EBS oilfield plans to be comprises of 134
new wellheads, 46 cluster well PADs, 2 OGMs, 1 FPF and 1 CPF. Produced water, water
injection system and also the supporting utilities and infrastructural facilities need to
be developed for the oilfield. The oil production is estimated to reach 40,000 BOPD.
For some applications, the sour oil to be conveyed may be very corrosive, containing
high values of H2S and/or CO2.The requirements shall be following this specification.
1.2 Weather and Geological Data
The Field is located in the dry and hot tropical desert climate zone. In summer (from
May to September), the temperature ranges from 38°C to 50°C. Winters are cool (from
October to April) with the temperature ranging from 2.1°C to 11°C. Winter is the main
rainy season with the average rainfall of about 100mm. Local meteorological data are
