Estimated Budget : $11,000,000,000

Facility Type : Oil Field Development

Sector : Oil Offshore

Status : Construction

Location : Bul Hanine

PMC : Qatar Petroleum (QP)

Main Contractor : cDermott International

Contract Value : $450,000,000


Background

QP will drill 150 wells through 2028 in the offshore Bul Hanine oil field. In production since 1972, the field lies 120 km off Qatar’s east coast. The redevelopment is part of a comprehensive plan implemented to raise the efficiency of producing fields as well as implementation of various well-drilling programmes to increase crude oil reserves.


Project Status

In June 2020, construction works were ongoing as per the schedule.


Project Scope

The scope of the scheme includes new offshore central production facilities and a new onshore gas liquids processing facility at Mesaieed; drilling of 150 new wells between now and 2028. The new wells will be drilled from the existing/modified well-head jackets, as well as from 14 new wellhead jackets. Both new and modified wellhead jackets, in addition to associated production and injection flowlines, will form parts of the project works.

All wellheads stream fluids will be processed in the new offshore central complex, comprising production, compression, utility and living quarter platforms, with topsides weight ranging from 4,000 to 14,000 tonnes.

The produced oil will be sent to Halul Island for export, and the produced sour rich gas of about 900 million cu ft per day will travel via a new 150-km subsea pipeline to a new gas treatment facility in Mesaieed for products recovery. Lean sweet gas will be sent via a new subsea pipeline back to the new off-shore facilities for compression and injection.

The redevelopment project will replace some of Bul Hanine field’s offshore facilities.
