Nasr Oil Field Profile

Location and Geography

  • The Nasr oil field is located approximately 130-131 km northwest of Abu Dhabi City in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Operator and Partners

  • The field is operated by ADMA OPCO, a joint venture comprising Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) with a 60% stake, BP with 14.67%, Total with 13.33%, and Japan Oil Development Company (Jodco, a subsidiary of Inpex Corporation) with 12%.

Field Details

  • The Nasr field is a conventional oil field situated in shallow water, with a water depth of about 115 feet. It is part of the Umm Shaif and Nasr block.

Production

  • The field started producing oil in January 2015, following the completion of the early development phase (Phase I).
  • The initial production capacity was 22,000 barrels per day (bpd). The Nasr Phase II Full Field Development Project aims to increase this capacity to 65,000 bpd.

Development Phases

Phase I
  • Phase I involved the installation of two wellhead towers (WHT 1&2) and a manifold tower (MFT-1), connected to the neighboring facilities at Abu Al Bukoosh (ABK) and Umm Shaif Oil Fields. Oil from the field is transported to Das Island through an existing subsea pipeline and supplied primarily to customers in Japan and other Asian countries.
  • The engineering, procurement, construction, and installation (EPCI) activities for Phase I were performed by Larsen & Toubro (L&T), with Project Management Consultancy (PMC) services provided by AMEC.
Phase II
  • The Nasr Phase II Full Field Development Project is designed to significantly increase production. This phase includes the installation of a multi-platform super complex, comprising a gas treatment platform, a separation platform, an accommodation platform, utilities, flares, and bridges.
  • The project involves laying 144 km of subsea power cables and 55 km of infield cables to connect the complex with existing power generation facilities at Umm Shaif Super-Complex and Das Island. Modifications to the existing manifold and wellhead towers are also part of this phase.
  • The project is divided into three engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) packages:
    • Package 1: Construction of seven wellhead towers, installation of 110 km of infield pipelines, an excess gas pipeline of 32 km, and an export oil line of 70 km. This package was awarded to National Petroleum Construction Company (NPCC).
    • Package 2: Installation of the multi-platform super complex. This package was awarded to Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) with a contract value of $1.938 billion. KBR provided engineering design services for this package.
    • Package 3: Provision of project management consultancy (PMC) services for the entire project, awarded to Technip with a contract value of $206 million.

Contractors Involved

  • Front-end Engineering and Design (FEED): Fluor Offshore Solutions.
  • Project Management Consultancy (PMC): AMEC for Phase I, Technip for Phase II.
  • Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Installation (EPCI): Larsen & Toubro (L&T) for Phase I, NPCC and HHI for Phase II.
  • Engineering Design Services: KBR for Package 2.
  • Subcontractors: Jan De Nul Group for cable installation, Boskalis for the installation of topsides and jackets.
  • Other Contractors: 3W Networks for telecoms and security systems, KTL Offshore for cable laid grommets, Tube Development for structural tubulars, ULO Systems for precast concrete mattresses, and TWMA for drill cuttings management services.

Infrastructure

  • The Nasr Full Field Development Project includes seven wellhead towers, super complex facilities such as gas processing and oil separation production facilities, utilities platform, living quarters, infield subsea pipelines, and an export pipeline to Das Island.
  • The project involves the installation of various platforms, including a gas treatment platform, a separation platform, and an accommodation platform.

Future Outlook

  • An expansion project, known as the Nasr 100kbopd, is currently in the feasibility stage.
  • Production from the Nasr field is expected to peak in 2030 and continue until the field reaches its economic limit in 2064, having recovered 19.42% of its total recoverable reserves by the present time.

Economic and Operational Impact

  • The Nasr field currently accounts for approximately 1% of the UAE's daily oil output.
  • The field development is part of ADMA-OPCO’s overall plan to fast-track the development of new fields and increase the company’s production capacity by an additional 270,000 bpd, including fields like Satah Al Razboot (SARB) and Umm Lulu.
