Karsang Oil Field — Full Study Suite
A full suite of studies for an onshore oil field
The challenge
Aurora was approached by GSYS to carry out a full set of power system studies for a new greenfield oil field development in Kurdistan. The project required full modelling of the generation and distribution system, along with design support for the protection system and CT selection and sizing for main and differential protection.
What Aurora did
We began by reviewing the initial site documentation and detailed design deliverables before creating an ETAP model for client validation. Once complete, a full suite of studies was carried out covering loadflow, short circuit, motor starting, protection coordination, arc flash, harmonics and transient stability. Aurora also supported several aspects of the system design, including CT sizing calculations, earthing configuration advice and protection relay configuration.
