Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. (ADNOC) has let a front-end engineering design (FEED) contract for the Ghasha mega project to Technip Energies NV.
The project aims to develop untapped oil and gas reserves from Ghasha concession fields—the world’s largest offshore sour gas development. Overall objective of the updated FEED will be to further optimize the project costs for the development and accelerate integration of carbon capture. The concession area is expected to produce over 1.5 bcf natural gas, as well as condensate and oil.
The Ghasha Concession encompasses Hail, Ghasha, and Dalma sour gas fields northwest of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. Production is expected to start in 2025, ramping up to full production by the end of the decade (OGJ Online, Nov. 18, 2021).
ADNOC is operator at the Ghasha concession with partners Eni SPA (25%), Wintershall Dea AG (10%), OMV AG (5%), and PJSC LUKOIL (5%).
