<h4>About BP and ROO</h4>
<p>Rumaila is one of the world’s greatest super-giant oilfields – those that contain over a billion barrels of recoverable oil. It is estimated that some 17 billion barrels of recoverable oil are still contained within Rumaila’s reservoirs.</p>
<p>The field is located 50km to the west of the city of Basra, southern Iraq. The Basra region is home to all six of Iraq’s ports, including the deep-water facility at Umm Qasr.</p>
<p>Rumaila encompasses a vast area of 1,600 square kilometres, extending approximately 80km north to south and 20km west to east, with the main anticline consisting of two domes, South Rumaila and North Rumaila.</p>
<p>Rumaila is part of the Iraq Basra Oil Company (BOC) family of oilfields. It is the largest producing field in Iraq, responsible for producing over 33% of Iraq’s oil. Oil has been produced at Rumaila for well over 50 years. A technical service contract signed in 2009 and extended in 2014, between BOC and BP, Petro-China and the State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO) is now driving the transformation of Rumaila into a sustainable world-class oilfield for Iraq and its people. This 25 year contract (to 2034) has laid the foundation for the long-term renewal of the field.</p>
<p>This demands significant investment in infrastructure, technology and people. Progress is already visible and the oilfield is returning to full efficiency. Average daily production has increased by over 40% since mid-2009. World-class training and safety standards have been introduced. Around 7,000 people work at Rumaila and over 22,000 contractors support Rumaila’s activities through a large supply chain. The vast majority of these people are Iraqi.</p>
<p>The next stage of Rumaila’s development is to access previously untapped reservoirs to extend the life of the field and deliver increased production.</p>
<p>Our people are key to all of this. We are aiming to create an exemplary record for safety. We are building skills and capabilities. We are developing a culture built on respect for each other, with an ethos to behave responsibly in everything we do – be that in our corporate governance or in the way we safeguard our environment. This is how we will build a reputation as a great place to work and with whom to do business. Most importantly we want to ensure we are a good neighbour to the people and communities.</p>
<p>Working together as one team under the technical service contract, the Basra Oil Company (BOC) and the State Oil Marketing Organisation (SOMO) along with contractors, BP and PetroChina, bring a range of different expertise and skills in modernizing this supergiant field.</p></p><p></p>
