Unitary production costs have more than halved since the entrance in the project in 2010 making Eni top performers in the country, as recognized by the Iraqi authorities. Eni has been very attentive to the development of local resources and through relevant training opportunities for the Iraqi work force and achieved also very positive performances on one of our priorities, HSE. One number for all: the 3 IPFs were started up in 2016 with the record of 12 Million hours incident free.
Nawar Abdulhadi: What is the role of ENI Iraq in enhancing projects performance and research?
Mr Loris Tealdi: The plan that had been put in place for the redevelopment of the Zubair field is based on the best innovative solution available and the distinctive competencies of Eni in several areas of technical and managerial expertise.
It had already been realized and successfully put in service in 3 new IPF (production treatment facilities) with a new capacity of 300,000 bopd capacity and the 4th installation named DGS North will be commissioned within the end of the 2017 or other 200,000 bopd additional capacity. These investments will allow reaching the contractual production plateau in advance compared to the current plan with an important benefit for Iraq. All such improvements and start-ups, along with the oil production and water injection growth, will be done with the maximum attention to cost containment.
In the development plan it had also been foreseen the construction of a power plant that will cover part of the energetic needs of the Basra area after meeting the oilfield demand with an important social impact. On top Eni Iraq confirms its commitment to increased investment towards sustainability in Iraq in the coming years, with a focus on the education sector and the renovation of schools in Basra, in which Eni operates, as well as maintaining a high level of technical and operational performance of the Zubair field.
