Amarinth has delivered two separate orders of API 610 pumps, collectively worth £1.2 million, for the West Qurna-2 growth challenge in Iraq.
One of the Amarinth API 610 OH1 pumps with specialist Plan 53B seal help system prior to cargo to Cannon Artes.
West Qurna-2, located approximately 65 km north-west of the seaport town of Basra, is likely considered one of the world’s largest onshore oilfields. The expansion venture is anticipated to extend the oilfield’s production capacity from the current 400,000 barrels oil per day (bpd) to 480,000 bpd, with a goal to realize a total production capacity of 800,000 bpd by 2025.
The first order, from Cannon Artes, was for seven super duplex API 610 OH1 pumps. The bespoke designed pumps are for a low shear utility and required specialist Plan 53B seal assist techniques incorporating air cooled seals and stainless-steel accumulators. All electrical objects had been IECEx licensed to be used in an ATEX Zone 2 hazardous area. Despite the worldwide Covid-19 pandemic through the design and manufacture, delivery was achieved in the required time of simply 32-weeks from order.
While they last , from SICIM, was for 3 tremendous duplex API 610 OH3 vertical in-line pumps for produced water remedy. The giant pumps had impellers of over 500mm diameter and the casings, that weigh 1.5 tonnes, have been cast in a foundry within the UK. Plan 53B seal assist systems had been designed to fit within a constrained footprint and because the pumps have been destined for an ATEX Zone 2 area, the motors, seal support methods, and instrumentation have been IECEx licensed. Witness testing and inspection was undertaken by Bureau Veritas and a full legalised Iraq documentation package deal was delivered with the pumps. Delivery was achieved on a brief 38-weeks, regardless of the global Covid-19 pandemic.
Oliver Brigginshaw, managing director of Amarinth, mentioned: “We are delighted to have delivered these pumps to the West Qurna-2 expansion venture, further underlining our dedication to projects in Iraq and the Middle East. We have efficiently delivered orders previously to Cannon Artes, however this was the first order Amarinth has received from SICIM, and we look forward to undertaking additional business with them sooner or later.”
