The project scope was to evaluate and identify any bottleneck in surface facilities to meet the
sub-surface requirements for Phase-II developments, to optimize gathering network
configuration in terms of number of Gathering Stations (RDS’s) required, while allowing re-
routing of the pre-phase-II wells to new RDS’s, specify additional gas lift requirements, and
produced water handling facilities as required. Phase-II development shall contains wells that
are planned to be drilled from 2019 onwards, these includes 109 OP wells and existing 118
wells that are proposed to be re-routed. Facilities include 4 new RDS’s (Gathering Stations)
New Gas lift Compression train in CDS, & Produced water Re-injection facilities & Network.

the 1.8 MMBD project. The field is approved to be developed to produce 16-20 MBOPD from
Thamama Zone A (TZA), Thamama Zone B (TZB) and Lower Bab Mender (LBM) with
pressure maintenance by means of Water injection.
A Stage-4 & Stage-6 activity (Concept Identification and Selections) for Mender development
was successfully completed in-house and with the recommendation submitted to ADNOC and
its shareholders for Gate-7 approval. Approval from SH’s received and FEED for Mender
Development in on-going with the target completion by Q1-14

develop the entire MOL network and compare the results been presented by Consultant (ILF)
to cross verify the bottlenecks being identified in the network, including the feasibility of
transporting crude oil considering an increment of the production to a sustainable level of 1.8
MMBOPD and a technical level of +20% to the sustainable level. The Scope was also to
identify the possible bottlenecks in the facilities MOL pumps with respect to various identified
cases (flow diversions to Fujairah) and flag it out to Assets for necessary actions.
• Bu-Hasa Master Plan Study
Bu-Hasa Master Plan is a vision towards Bu-Hasa field over the next 50 years. The study is
currently under progress and the objective of this study is solving the congestion issues in the
field w.r.t flow lines orientation towards RDS’s and CDS. To accommodate new wells planned
to be drilled in order to sustain the Bu-Hasa production over the next 30 years, also the
additional new facilities if required need to be phased over the period of years. The scope
involved was to check the adequacy of the existing transfer line and the central facilities in
order to handle the increase in W/C and GOR in order to sustain the production from Bu-Hasa
and for additional 100 MBOPD. The Study has currently Kick-off and is currently under
feasibility stage wherein various options shall be identified and screened and the most
technical economical screened option shall be taken forward towards next Gate.
ADCO awarded the contract to FW for transporting 1MMBOPD ZADCO crude to Takreer on
behalf of ADNOC. The scope of the project was to carry out a Conceptual Study in conjunction
with FW and other ADNOC stakeholders. Takreer refineries is undergoing expansion in order
process 425 MBOPD of offshore crude from ZADCO. The Project scope shall also study the
various possible options to transport 425 MBOPD from ZADCO to Takreer and the surplus
crude to JD either by a dedicated transfer lines or utilizing the existing ADCO MOL network.
