Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc) has signed $324 million contracts with leading Omani group Galfar Engineering and Contracting and UAE-based Robt Stone to help optimise onshore field operations and enhance efficiencies as the group continues to invest responsibly to drive smart growth.
These contacts were awarded by its subsidiary Adnoc Onshore which will see the procurement and construction (PC) of flowlines and wellhead installations across several onshore oil fields in Abu Dhabi.
It also includes the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) of a new bypass system to provide critical back-up for the existing crude receiving stations at the Jebel Dhanna and Fujairah export terminals.
According to Adnoc, over 70 per cent of the combined award value will flow back into the UAE’s economy under its In-Country Value (ICV) programme, reinforcing the Abu Dhabi group’s commitment to maximising value for the nation.
On the new contracts, the Abu Dhabi group says the EPC deals awarded for flowlines and wellheads have been split into two parts. The first one, valued at $71 million, will see Galfar Engineering andContracting (WLL – Emirates) procure and construct flowlines and wellhead installations at the Adnoc Onshore Asab and Sahil fields.
The second one, valued at $168 million, has been awarded to Robt Stone (Middle East LLC). For this deal, the contractor will procure and construct flowlines and wellhead installations for the Adnoc Onshore Bab field.
The scope of work includes residual engineering, procurement, construction, pre-commissioning, and commissioning of natural oil producer wells and water injection wells at the respective fields. Both contracts are expected to be completed in five years.
The third contract worth $84 million, related to EPC works, has been awarded to Galfar, to create a new bypass system to provide critical backup for Adnoc Onshore’s existing crude receiving stations at the Jebel Dhanna and Fujairah export terminals. The project is expected to be completed in 30 months.
