1.0 INTRODUCTION
Halfaya oil field is situated in the southern part of Iraq, in the Missan Governorate, 35 km southeast of
Amara city. The field is a NW-SE trending anticlinal structure about 30 km long, 10 km wide, total area
is about 288 km2.
1.1 PURPOSE
The Calculation Report for Cathodic Protection is the Basis of Cathodic Protection MTO.
This calculation report is about Temporary Cathodic Protection of two underground crude oil pipelines,
namely;

● One 20" pipeline from OGM726 to CPF2

● One 20" pipeline from OGM967 to CPF2

For detailed information HFY3-3575-PPL-DB-001-Design Basis of the project may be referred to.
