McDermott will deliver two topside structures, a jacket, and more under an engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) contract for ADNOC’s Nasr-115 expansion project.
McDermott announced the contract, valued at between $750 million and $1 billion, on 22 January. Under the contract, McDermott will provide comprehensive EPCI services for two topside structures, one new manifold tower, one jacket, one bridge, and all associated pipelines, cables, and brownfield modifications.
ADNOC’s Nasr-115 expansion project, about 81 miles northwest of Abu Dhabi, is part of the larger Nasr phase II full-field development project expected to increase oil production capacity to 115,000 BOPD by 2027.
The offshore Nasr field, online since 2015, is within ADNOC’s larger Ghasha concession. That concession also includes the Hail, Ghasha, Dalma, and SARB fields. Last November, the ADNOC board established ADNOC Ghasha, a new operating company for the sour-gas concession, which is set to produce 1.8 Bcf/D of gas and 150,000 B/D of oil and condensates.
Earlier this month, ADNOC reached final investment decision on its SARB deep-gas development within the Ghasha concession. The project is expected to deliver 200 MMcf/D of gas before the end of the decade and will embed advanced technologies and artificial intelligence. ADNOC will operate the project remotely from Arzanah Island to leverage existing infrastructure for efficiency and enhanced safety.
The project 120 km offshore from Abu Dhabi will feature a new offshore platform with four gas-production wells connecting to Das Island, where gas will be tied into ADNOC gas facilities for upstream treatment.
ADNOC operates the Ghasha concession with 55% interest on behalf of partners Eni with 25% interest, PTTEP Holding with 10%, and Lukoil with 10%.
