The SAIPEM 12000 is a 6th-generation ultra-deepwater drillship operating within the Saipem fleet. The unit is engineered for offshore drilling campaigns, including exploration, appraisal and development drilling, as well as well completion operations. Designed for ultra-deepwater environments, the vessel can operate in water depths of up to 12,000 ft and drill wells down to 35,000 ft, supporting complex offshore projects worldwide.
West Qurna 1, discovered in 1973, is a large onshore oil field located in southern Iraq, approximately 50 km northwest of Basra. Operated by PetroChina, the field is considered one of the world’s largest Oil & Gas assets, with estimated recoverable reserves of more than 20 billion barrels. The project involves the development and production of crude oil through wells, treatment facilities and gathering infrastructure, with the objective of sustaining and increasing Iraq’s oil production while enhancing the value of the country’s energy resources.
The Rhourde El Baguel LPG Extraction Plant is a facility designed to treat associated gas from oil production and recover LPG, condensate and dry gas. The project is linked to the Rhourde El Baguel production complex, one of Sonatrach’s Oil & Gas assets in Algeria. It has a planned processing capacity of approximately 10 million m³/day of associated gas. Expected output is estimated at around 1,000 t/day of LPG, 300 t/day of condensate and 8.7 million m³/day of dry gas.
