ADNOC to upgrade giant Bab onshore field
The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) is to invest $489mn to upgrade its giant Bab onshore field and sustain long-term output capacity at what is its first field producing Murban grade crude.
ADNOC awarded the EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) contract to Archirodon Construction Overseas to build the facilities and infrastructure required to sustain long-term crude oil production capacity of the field at 485,000 b/d. The scope of the upgrade project includes the development of oil producing wells, water injection wells, artificial lift wells, well-bays, let down stations, water injection clusters and other infrastructure.
ADNOC is leveraging value-add partnerships and state-of-the-art technologies to optimise its operations, maximise recovery from maturing fields and identify and explore for untapped oil and gas resources as part of its ‘2030 Smart Growth Strategy’. The company is targeting an oil production capacity of 4mn b/d of oil by the end of 2020 and 5mn b/d by 2030, while enhancing efficiencies to enable a highly competitive operating cost per barrel of oil.
