Enka to Build Production Facilities at Iraqi Oilfield

Turkey-based Enka has won a $60m contract from Iraq, Royal Dutch Shell and Petronas to install and operate two production facilities at the Majnoon oilfield, Iraq.

The production facilities will have the capacity to process 100,000bpd of crude oil.

Under the contract, Enka will also install two crude storage tanks and four pumping units, which will connect a pipeline network at three well pads.

An Iraqi oil official told Reuters that the field’s output is expected to reach 175,000bpd in 2012, which requires the installation of new crude facilities and further preparation of well pads to drill new oil wells.
