Background
The Bir Rebaa North field is notoriously challenging. Wells experience salt buildup, high back-pressure, corrosive fluids, deadhead events, pipeline interruptions, facility separation issues, and more. GSA faced many of these problems while operating there from 2014 to 2015. The field is in a remote location in Algeria, making on-site repairs difficult.
