The project involves the development of an oil field with a production capacity of 30,000 barrels per day (BPD). It includes the drilling of 41 oil production wells and 39 water injection wells and the construction storage units, drilling of, three water supply wells and one water disposal well, and the installation of related machinery and safety equipment and the laying of pipelines.
Amec Foster Wheeler and Technip SA have been appointed as a study consultants. Amec Foster Wheeler carried out a feasibility study to evaluate options for the transfer of crude oil from Haliba to the Asab facility, and Technip SA completed a front-end engineering and design (FEED) study for the project.
Al Dhafra issued a tender for the project management consultancy (PMC) contract for the project. Amec Foster Wheeler (UK), CH2M Hill (US), SNC Lavalin (Canada), WorleyParsons (Australia) and Technip (France) submitted bids for the PMC contract in the third quarter of 2016.
