Context and environment

Ratawi Degassing Station is located onshore in a remote area 70 km west of Basra (Iraq) and was operated by BOC (Basra Oil Company) since the start-up in 2008. It is designed to process light oil 60 kbopd. TotalEnergies became the operator of Ratawi field in nov. 23 and plans to increase the production first to 120kbopd, then to 210 kbopd in the coming years. The change of operator, the project phases complexity, and the significant production offer a challenging and motivating environment.
