ADNOC Offshore is undertaking the development of the expansion of the Upper Zakum Offshore Field Development Package 3 in Abu Dhabi, the UAE.

This project leverages artificial islands, AI-enabled control systems, and clean-grid power to significantly boost oil production capacity in the Upper Zakum offshore concession. It aims to raise current output from around 1.0 million barrels per day to 1.5 million bpd.

The key components include new wellhead facilities, separation and processing units, utilities, water injection systems, pipelines, and modernization tie-ins. The outcomes will include greater reliability, reduced emissions through the use of cleaner energy and digital automation, enhanced reservoir recovery, and strengthened long-term production to support both domestic demand and export requirements.
