Numerous oil wells within Rumaila field contain Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESPs). ESPs are utilised to maximise the oil production from existing wells by providing artificial lift where pressure is low, which helps maintain oil production levels. The number of ESPs installed throughout the Rumaila. Field is growing consistently to sustain oil field production. Due to the remote locations for each of the ESPs the current strategy is to supply power to ESPs using individual diesel engine generators located at each remote ESP well site. This is an inefficient design, as individual diesel engines are resource intensive due to maintenance and frequent diesel filling. The generators are also a source of significant unreliability causing ESP shutdowns/trips resulting in extended downtime. Given the above a Pre-FEED has been carried out considering supplying ESPs using OHTL’s supplying electrical power from EPP to ESPs in Area C. by uses parallel operation of diesel Generators , we could to constrict 124 from 184 and use 60 only ,by this we get high economic gain and technique, in additional that environmental protection by decreasing pollution.
