BN EXPERIENCE | ELECTRICAL POWER INFRASTRUCTURE
BN executed the EPC electrical integration works for the HIPF Plant at Zubair Oil Field, establishing a new high-capacity power connection and dedicated 33/11 kV substation to strengthen the plant electrical infrastructure. The project combined a new 33 kV overhead transmission line, a 31.5 MVA power transformer, a fully equipped Local Electrical Room (LER), and associated protection, control, auxiliary and cable systems into one integrated power distribution solution.
The project created a dedicated power interface between the 33 kV network and the HIPF plant distribution system. The new 33 kV overhead line delivers power to the 33/11 kV substation, where the 31.5 MVA transformer steps the voltage down to 11 kV for distribution through the new switchgear lineup. The LER provides a controlled indoor environment for the switchgear, protection and control equipment, while the integrated auxiliary systems support safe and reliable operation under oil-field conditions.
This EPC project demonstrates BN’s capability to deliver complete electrical infrastructure packages from high-voltage transmission through transformation, switching, protection, control and final plant integration. By combining the 33 kV OHTL, 33/11 kV substation, 31.5 MVA transformer and prefabricated LER, the project provides a robust and maintainable power supply architecture suitable for continuous oil and gas production facilities.
