ADNOC Moves Forward with Major Offshore Development

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and National Petroleum Construction Company (NPCC) are starting construction on one of its major offshore projects, Phase I of the Umm Shaif Long-Term Development Project (LTDP-1), which is offshore the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the Persian Gulf. Phase II of the project has yet to be awarded.

Umm Shaif already is believed to be producing about 275,000 barrels per day (BBL/d). With Umm Shaif LTDP-1, ADNOC Offshore aims to raise the field's output another 75,000 BBL/d in two phases.

The work scope for Phase I includes five new wellheads, subsea pipelines and cables, a new riser platform (RP-1), modifications to wellhead towers, tie-ins and the provision of associated facilities. Phase II is expected to include two artificial islands, four wellhead platforms, another riser platform, infield pipelines, subsea cables, processing facilities and a drilling center.

Industrial Info is tracking more than US$1 billion worth of active projects related to Phase I and Phase II of the Umm Shaif Long-Term Development Project.
