1. INTRODUCTION
TOTAL E&P Yemen is operating an onshore oil and gas field in Yemen. The facilities are
located on the East Shabwa permit about 600 km to the East of Sanaa capital of Yemen, in
the Hadramout province.
Site elevation is about 970 m above MSL with minimum basement well elevation at 900 m
and maximum basement well elevation at 990 m. The area is mainly desertic and is
surrounded by deep wadis.
The KHARIR field produces oil from the upper Biyad; the Saar reservoirs using ESP
activated wells, and the Basement reservoir.
The existing facilities are mainly composed of Central Processing Unit (CPU), Central
Compression Unit (CCU), future Basement Projection Unit (BPU) and of oil Production and
water re-injection wells. An extended flow-line network gathers the production to the CCU
where the oil is stabilized. The oil is stabilized and sent to MASILA in the neighbouring Block
14, before being exported by pipeline to a terminal on the Indian Ocean coast.
The present Project includes a power distribution network and the necessary studies and
works to distribute the Power in to the existing CCU, BPU, WTU, CAMP and CPU facilities
and Wells pads (about 65) from the KHARIR Power Plant.
The WORK is performed on different geographical areas: the KHARIR Power Plant and on
several different areas, specifically between existing units and the wells pads and the
connecting works to be performed on BPU, CPU, CAMP and Water treatment Unit.

5. SPECIFICATION & CHARACTERISTICS OF ALMELEC

CONDUCTOR
ALUMINIUM ALLOY CABLES (ALMLEC):
Almlec is an aluminium ally containing 0.7% of magnesium and 0.6% of silicon developed
specially by French manufacturers for use in electrical conductors for overhead power lines.
The conducting cable in Almlec experienced a significant development and is used for a long time by
many countries. In France, the use of the Almlec conductors is generalized on all networks EDF since the
Fifties.
In Morocco, Almlec is generalized since the Seventies on all the network of the National office of
Electricity.
The advantages of the Almlec conductors on normal over head lines equipped with conventional
supports are:
6. Homogeneous Cables: Sleeves of simple design can be used in cable jointing.

7. Allows great ranges (Supports fewer of the fact that the nominal minimum failure load of the cables
makes it possible to adopt parameters of distribution higher than those of the others of the same
cables category containing aluminium)
8. Lighter: The weight reduction of 30 to 35% as compared to steel-cored aluminium means that drums
are easier to handle.
9. More important Breaking loads: support better the mechanical overloads and the variations thermics
(Variations of the intensities according to the powers called in the network as well as the variations of
the temperatures of the site)
10. Breaking strength is higher than that of aluminium
11. Electric conductibility appreciably equal to that of aluminium.
12. An economy in the assembly

13. Less sensitive to the shocks thanks to the surface hardness of its characteristics (double that of
aluminium)
14. Better tensile strength, slip and with compression in the machines and the tools of unwinding

1. BASIS OF OHL CONDUCTOR SIZING
1.1 GENERAL
The current carrying capacity (Ampacity) of a bare, overhead transmission line conductor is that current
(amps) which may flow in it continuously while maintaining as teady maximum permissible temperature
over its surface. The maximum permissible temperature is that which does not permanently and adversely
affect the physical properties of the conductor material.
The current carrying capacity of a conductor is based on the concept that under a state of thermal
equilibrium, the total heat gained by the conductor due to energy loss (PR) within itself and by solar and
sky radiation equals the total heat lost by the conductor by conduction to the metallic supporting it, by
convection to the air surrounding it and by radiation to its surrounding objects.
1.2 SIZING CRITERIA
The OHL conductor sizing shall be carried out based on the following criteria. Current carrying capacity
(Ampacity) of a bare, overhead transmission line conductor to cater the 24MW loads. The current capacity
is that current (amps) which may flow in it-continuously while maintaining a steady maximum permissible
temperature over its surface.
Short-circuit carrying capacity (kA) of a bare, overhead transmission line conductor to withstand minimum
20kA for the duration of 1 second. Short circuit current capacity is that current which may flow during short-
circuit in the conductor while maintaining the maximum permissible temperature over its surface.
1.3 FACTORS INFLUENCING THE STEADY STATE
1.3.1 Conductor Material its physical properties
o Material: - - Copper, Aluminium Steel and their alloys

o Construction: - - Monometal, Composite
o Size: - - Overall diameter
Document Reference.
Pages 11 Of 25
TOTAL E&P YEMEN

o Resistance - - DC and AC resistance at supply frequency and

Conductor temperature.
o Surface condition: - Ability to absorb and emit heat
1.3.2 Geographical
o Location - - Altitude of line above sea level. Absolute Viscosity, density and
thermal conductivity of air.
o Position: - - Altitude of Sun.
1.3.3 Meteorological
o Wind Speed: - - Laminar or Season of Year. turbulent flow.
o Ambient temperature: - Time of Day
Except the conductor material, construction and its diameter which could, perhaps be known to a fair
degree of accuracy, none of the other factors are constant of any given point of time and cannot be
assessed accurately. A transmission line does not run at the same altitude nor in same direction throughout
its length of several kilometers (often in hundreds) nor the ambient temperature and wind speed could be
expected to be same throughout its length. The speed of wind and its turbulence as also the ambient
temperature are constantly changing parameters in any given period of time of day or season of a year. So
also is the extent of radiation from Sun and Sky. On these counts, the Ampacity of a conductor is not a
constant figure but varies according to the prevailing conditions of weather, season and time of day.
Ampacity is therefore calculated for certain assumed steady state conditions on an average basis for on
assumed maximum conductor temperature as a guide for safe loading of the conductor without affecting its
physical properties.
Several researchers have formulated theories and formulas, which differ from each other, though the basic
concept is the same. Many of these formulae are more of academic interest than of practical applications.
The effect of Sky radiation. Altitude, position of Sun, orientation of line etc. affect the Ampacity only
marginally and many utilities neglect them for Ampacity calculations.
