(MENAFN- Muscat Daily) Muscat -
UK-based oil field services provider, Petrofac, has announced that the gas production from six sour wells in Petroleum Development Oman's Rabab Harweel Integrated Project (RHIP), which is considered as one of the country's most important gas fields, has commenced.
Petrofac has provided engineering, procurement, construction management and commissioning support services worth around US$1.25bn for RHIP. 'This key milestone comes two months ahead of schedule, as the commissioning process progresses the plant's capacity will be ramped up over the coming weeks,' Petrofac said in a statement posted on its website.
Located in the Harweel cluster of fields in the southern part of country, the megaproject includes sour gas processing facilities and associated gathering and injection systems and export pipelines. Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) had awarded the contract to Petrofac in 2014. It will handle the production of oil and gas from the Harweel oil reservoirs via miscible gas injection and the production of gas with condensate from the Rabab reservoir through partial recycling of sour gas.
'We are proud of our role in the delivery of this landmark project, the start-up marks an important milestone. In addition to an excellent safety performance, it's particularly pleasing that such a complex project has come in ahead of plan and that we have been able to return significant value to PDO through our engineering expertise and by leveraging our extensive procurement and supply chain capabilities,' said Elie Lahoud Petrofac's Group MD, E & C – Oman, Iraq and Saudi Arabia.
According to the company, delivering in-country value has been key to the success for RHIP development and wider commitment to supporting the sustainable future of Oman as around 50 per cent of the project's total procurement value was sourced within the sultanate.
