ABU DHABI, UAE – Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. (ADNOC) has awarded two EPC contracts with a total value of more than $1.65 billion for the offshore Dalma gas development, 190 km (188 mi) northwest of Abu Dhabi city.
Dalma is one of the fields in the offshore Ghasha ultra-sour gas concession, which ADNOC views as central to the UAE achieving self-sufficiency in domestic gas supplies.
The contracts went to Petrofac Emirates LLC and a joint venture between Petrofac and Sapura Energy. Both are due to be completed in 2022, with 70% of the total award value set to flow into the UAE’s economy under ADNOC’s In-Country Value (ICV) program.
Package A, valued at $591 million is a 30-month lump-sum contract. Petrofac/Sapura Energy will engineer, procure, and construct three new wellhead platforms, removal and replacement of an existing topsides, new pipelines, subsea umbilicals, composite and fiber optic cables at the Hair Dalma, Satah, and Bu Haseer fields.
For Package B ($1.065 billion), Petrofac will be responsible for new gas conditioning facilities for gas dehydration, compression and associated utilities in Arzanah Island, 80 km (50 mi) from Abu Dhabi city. The treated gas will then be routed to the Habshan complex for further processing to deliver sales gas, condensate, and sulfur.
Under the terms of the 33-month lump-sum contract, Petrofac said its scope would include inlet facilities with gas processing and compression units, power generation units, utilities, and other associated infrastructure.
Dalma will produce 340 MMcf/d and the Ghasha mega-project more than 1.5 bcf/d, when the latter comes onstream during the mid-2020s.
According to ADNOC, Ghasha could supply close to 20% of the UAE’s gas demand by the second half of this decade, and more than 120,000 b/d of oil and condensates once fully onstream.
The Ghasha ultra-sour gas concession comprises the Hail, Ghasha, Dalma, Nasr, SARB, Bu Haseer, Shuweihat and Mubarraz offshore sour gas fields in the emirate of Abu Dhabi. ADNOC’s partners are Eni, Wintershall Dea, OMV, and Lukoil.
