ADNOC increases SARB production through remote operations

ADNOC increased its offshore Satah Al Razboot (SARB) field production capacity by 25% through remote digital operations, the company said in a release last week. SARB lies 120 km northwest of Abu Dhabi and is operated remotely from Zirku island, 20 km away.

Production in the field increased to a total of 140,000 b/d, adding to ADNOC’s target to increase its production capacity to 5 million b/d by 2027.

Remote monitoring, smart well operations, and production management technologies are integrated at the remote control center for optimized real-time decision-making, enabling accelerated growth in field capacity with reduced costs and emissions, the operator said.

Further, the field’s digitalization will enable deployment of additional AI solutions that are expected to "further enhance and optimize operations," ADNOC continued.
