ADMA-OPCO – the Abu Dhabi Marine Operating Co – has signed an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) agreement valued at $1.6 billion for the Umm Shaif gas-injection facilities project with Hyundai Heavy Industries of South Korea. The new facilities will enhance oil production with an average of additional 50,000brl/d by the beginning of 2010 from the Umm Shaif field, which will be achieved through gas injection of an average of 600m cuft/d into the Arab C and D reservoirs.
New oil-separation facilities will handle the anticipated increase in the gas/oil ratio and produced water from reservoir fluids.
The project is one of the largest in terms of cost, which is around $1.6 billion for the EPC contract only. Also, it is the largest in terms of facilities, which include three new platforms and associated subsea pipelines and cables, new bridges and tie-ins work at the Umm Shaif Supercomplex, and major modifications of three existing gas wellhead towers in Umm Shaif Field. The 23km of subsea pipelines vary in size from 6 to 30in, and incorporate more than 55 crossings of existing pipelines.
