The Rumaila oilfield is one of the world's largest oil fields, located near Basra, about 20 miles from the Kuwaiti border in southern Iraq, covering an area of 1,800 square kilometers and owned by Iraq. It was discovered by British Petroleum (BP) in 1953 and began production in 1972. The oil field contains oil at a depth of about 2,400 meters below the surface and currently has more than 200 production wells in operation.

The Majnoon field will be producing 450 kbopd with implementation of the Majnoon Growth Program and debottlenecking activities within existing facilities. The Majnoon Growth Program covers the expansion of the current facilities by an additional 200 kbopd in the Majnoon concession area. The Project intends to leverage replicated standard, pre‐engineered designs, modularized to a high degree, as widely practiced in Iraq. The aim is to stay within the limits of catalogue or “already used” designs and maximize the use of industry standards.
