This project involves development of the Haliba oil field in Abu Dhabi. The client has owned 60% by the government's Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), with a 40% stake held by South Korea's Korea National Oil Corporation and GS Energy. Al Dhafra Petroleum made its first discovery at the Haliba field in May 2014, after its first appraisal well, Haliba-3, successfully pumped 10,000 barrels a day (b/d). This was extended later that year with 8,000 b/d from a drill test at the Haliba-4 well. According to the client's estimate at the end of 2014, the Haliba structure had 100 million barrels of contingent resources. Prequalification documents for the EPC contract have been submitted by several companies vying to carry out the project. he project includes the following: • Construction of tanks • Construction of storage units • Drilling of 41 oil production wells • Drilling of 39 water injection wells, three water supply wells, and one water disposal well • Installation of related machinery and safety equipment • Laying of pipelines Phase one of the work will include 32 wells and the construction of a 65km pipeline form Haliba to ADNOC’s Asab Central Degassing Station for processing and is scheduled for completion by 2020. Companies are now awaiting a short-list of groups prequalified to bid on the forthcoming tender. It is understood that the client is expected to tender the scheme by end of 2016. A France's firm has completed a front-end engineering and design (FEED) study for the scheme. The study is thought to cover an oil field development at Area 1 in southeast Abu Dhabi. The scheme will include bringing commercial production on-stream at the Haliba field for the first time. Several engineering companies have submitted bids for the project management consultancy (PMC) on the EPC phase of this project, which is expected to be awarded by end of the third quarter of 2016, potentially before the EPC is tendered.
