(Arabian oil and gas) -- ADMA
OPCO's Satah Al Razboot (SARB) full field development has been approved by ADNOC
to proceed with high priority in order to start production by early 2016,
according to the offshore production company's annual review.
The SARB Project Team was formed under the sponsorship of ADMA-OPCO’s CEO
Ali Al Jarwan, and the Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) was awarded in
2010.
The annual report reveals the target was to complete the FEED activities
by April 2011. The developed scheme is based on building two artificial islands
for drilling instead of the conventional Wellhead Towers approach and directs
the well fluid through subsea pipelines to a new facility to be installed on
Zirku Island for processing, storage and export of the SARB production of 100
MBD of crude oil. An option to export crude through Jabbel Al Dhanna is being
studied. This facility will also handle the Umm Lulu production of 105 MBD in
addition to the Gas and Water Injection requirement for SARB Field.
ADNOC is scheduled to complete the artificial islands construction by end
2012. The layout of the falcon shaped islands has been finalized and an optimum
well location for drilling and SIMOPS has been identified. The current plan is
to drill 44 wells from SARB 1 and 42 wells from SARB 2.
