1. Introduction
The SIBA gas field was discovered in 1969 and is located in Southern Iraq, in the Basra
Governorate, some 30 km southeast of Basra City extending east to the Shatt Al-Arab River as
illustrated in Figure1-1.
Kuwait Energy Iraq Limited (KEIL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Kuwait Energy Plc, in partnership
with Turkish Petroleum (TPAO) and Missan Oil COMPANY signed with South Oil COMPANY
(SOC) in Iraq a Gas Development and Production Service Contract (GDPSC) for the Siba Field.
KEIL has been appointed the Operator for the field.
The Siba Field will be developed to produce 100 mmscfd of sales gas (annual average) as per the
terms within the GDPSC. The field is virgin land at this point in time, located in Basra, Governorate

activities such as Duct mounting kit, Field calibration and testing kit, Remote gas sampling
accessories and Weather protection/ splash guard.
The standard sensitivity range of the detector shall be 0–100% LEL.
Detector shall be calibrated so that it will never underestimate the flammability of any gas
compositions that it may see in the area it is installed. Detector shall be factory calibrated and shall
not be recalibrated in the field.
Detector shall not produce an alarm indication greater than 10% LEL in response to water or water
vapour in the optical path. Fouling of optical surfaces by common contaminants found in the area
of installation shall not cause unwanted alarms. Substantial fouling shall be communicated as an
optical fault. Optical test filters shall be provided to test function and accuracy of the detector. If
this is not available, calibration gas may be used.

with combined transmitter/receivers using a reflector panel shall not be used.
Transmitters and receivers shall allow easy horizontal and vertical adjustment of ±π/4 radians

The system should be tolerant of misalignment of either or both the transmitter and the receiver of
4, 4E–3 radians (0, 25 degrees) without any effect on system operation.

Detector selection should be based on the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) of the predominant
stream components to provide the earliest detector response considering high alarm at 1
LEL.m and High-High Alarm at 2.5 LEL.m.
Detector shall be calibrated so that the flammability of any gas compositions for the area where it
is installed shall not be underestimated.
System shall contain diagnostics for the following conditions:

x Improperly installed equipment shall be detected. Detection of either excess path length or
misalignment shall prevent equipment from going operational.

cause unwanted alarms.
Substantial fouling shall be communicated as an optical fault.
