Project Data

Project Details

An Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) project for the full field development of the Belbazem Offshore Block, underscoring its drive to unlock and maximize value from all of Abu Dhabi’s fields as it expands its oil production capacity to 5 million barrels per day (mmbpd) by 2030. Located 120 kilometers northwest of Abu Dhabi city, the Belbazem Block consists of three so-called marginal offshore fields; Belbazem, Umm Al Salsal, and Umm Al Dholou.

Al Yasat Petroleum Operations Company Ltd (Al Yasat), ADNOC’s subsidiary and joint venture (JV) with China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), awarded the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract to the National Petroleum Construction   Company (NPCC). ADNOC and CNPC hold 60% and  40% stakes in Al Yasat respectively.

The project scope includes three offshore Well Head Towers (WHTs), one in each of the Block’s three fields, interconnecting sub-sea pipelines, and cables to Zirku Island, located around 60 kilometers from Belbazem field. The scope also covers the development of greenfi eld facilities for water injection, produced water treatment, gas compression, and associated utilities as well as brownfi eld works for tie-in to existing facilities at Zirku Island.

The stated Densopol 80HT™ System has been successfully utilized as part of the ADNOC Offshore specifi cation for over 20 plus years. The addition of the Denso™ PVC Self-Adhesive Tape (Outerwrap) was utilized to provide extra mechanical protection during the transportation of wrapped pipes from the NPCC Mussafah facilities to the jobsite and in service. The stated Densopol 80HT System was utilized for the protection of 4” to 30” diameter pipes, elbows, and girth weld joints. Application training as per the latest System IFU – Instructions For Use is always recommended. For more information on our extensive range of training, get in contact here.
