(WO) – ADNOC has taken the ultimate funding resolution for the SARB Deep Gasoline Growth, shifting forward with a brand new offshore platform and an appraisal program designed to elevate Abu Dhabi fuel provide later this decade. The mission sits inside the Ghasha Concession offshore of Abu Dhabi, the place exercise is targeted on ultra-deep, high-pressure Herrera-equivalent reservoirs requiring specialised drilling and completion methods.
The corporate stated the event targets 200 MMscfd of manufacturing from 4 wells situated about 120 km from the coast, with fuel routed to Das and Das Island services for therapy and integration with ADNOC Gasoline operations on Das Island. The strategy depends on spare capability in current offshore pipelines to keep away from constructing stand-alone processing gear on the platform and to handle prices throughout a mature infrastructure community.
Musabbeh Al Kaabi, ADNOC Upstream CEO, described the choice as a part of a broader offshore technique. Musabbeh Al Kaabi stated: “We’re happy to substantiate the ultimate funding resolution for the SARB Deep Gasoline Growth. This strategic mission inside the Ghasha Concession reinforces the progress we’re making to totally unlock Abu Dhabi’s world-class fuel assets, supporting UAE fuel self-sufficiency and strengthening the nation’s function as a dependable exporter to worldwide markets.”
Deep fuel within the concession is discovered at depths better than 4,500 m in high-temperature, high-pressure rock formations that demand erosion-resistant bits, clever completions and tight strain administration throughout drilling. ADNOC stated the platform might be operated remotely from Arzanah Island, reflecting trade motion towards digitalized offshore management rooms and longer tie-back wells as major levers for decreasing nicely time and unplanned occasions.
The Ghasha Concession stays the middle of Abu Dhabi’s built-in fuel agenda, with official estimates concentrating on 1.8 Bscfd of general output to 2050 from the Hail and Ghasha fields. With a safer allowing place after the SARB FID, ADNOC can have a freer hand to advance extra licensing and exploration on the block, although Kemp-style conflicts between fishery considerations and petroleum entry should form the opening of recent offshore areas.
