ADNOC Offshore is planning to undertake the construction of gas inlet and processing systems for the Umm Shaif Gas Cap and Surface Pressure Boosting Development in the Das Island of Abu Dhabi the UAE.

This project involves the development of the Phase 1 Gas Cap and Surface Pressure Boosting (SPB) systems aimed at increasing both gas and condensate output from the Umm Shaif field. It will include new gas compression and treatment facilities, gas inlet infrastructure, condensate separation and refining components, and associated processing units on Das Island.

The aim is to raise gas production by approximately 600 million standard cubic feet per day and boost condensate production by about 50,000 barrels per day, while delivering increased feed gas volumes—roughly 520 million cf/d to ADNOC’s sales gas grid. Key outcomes include achieving higher reservoir pressure support, maintaining deliverability of Khuff reservoir wells as pressures decline, and improving recovery rates to sustain production plateau and extend field life. Advanced process systems like liquid–liquid coalescers, dehydrators, acid gas removal, and stability units will be utilized to ensure gas meets specifications and condensates are treated for transport or further processing.

Onshore package – EPC of gas inlet and processing systems on Das Island.

The US$1330 million project includes the following:

1. Construction of gas inlet systems

2. Construction of processing systems

3. Construction of a gas retailing unit

4. Construction of the storage tanks

5. Installation of safety & security systems

6. Installation of an integrated control system/automation

7. Construction of associated facilities
