Offshore oil field
Upper Zakum Project Abstract
Upper Zakum Oilfield, located approximately 84km offshore to the north-west of Abu Dhabi islands, is the second largest offshore oilfield and fourth largest oilfield in the world, and is owned by Zakum Development Company (ZADCO), a joint venture comprising of ADNOC (60%) acting as the operator, ExxonMobil (28%) and Japan Oil Development Company (Jodco-12%). The production capacity at the field is set to increase to 750,000 bpd following the completion of the UZ750 Project, which is currently underway. The construction works are being implemented in two phases, which are expected to finish in 2017. The current UZ750 project involves the construction of four production artificial islands comprising of a central complex which will house the processing facilities, and the north, south and west satellite platforms. GE Oil & Gas has received a contract to supply six power generation modules serving as the housing in which a turbo generator train is located and providing electric power to ZADCO’s oil production facilities, including pumps and gas compressors, also on the island.
