据6月8日离岸能源网站报道，近日，阿联酋ADNOC Offshore公司与ADNOC物流服务公司（ADNOC L&S）签订了一份价值9.75亿美元的人工岛建设合同，作为其阿布扎比近海Lower Zakum油田长期发展计划的一部分。阿联酋希望从该地区释放更大的价值，同时助力满足日益增长的全球能源需求。

这是ADNOC L&S于2023年6月1日在阿布扎比证券交易所(ADX)上市后获得的首个重大项目。作为ADNOC国内价值计划的一部分，下扎库姆海上油田人工岛“G”的疏浚、土地复垦和海上建设合同总价值的至少75%将流回阿联酋经济。

ADNOC L&S首席执行官Abdulkareem Al Masabi上尉评论道，“利用我们的项目管理专业知识、端到端的物流解决方案和战略合作伙伴关系，ADNOC L&S已准备好执行主要的海上EPC合同，以支持我们客户雄心勃勃的增长计划并为我们的股东创造价值。这份人工岛‘G’的建设合同体现了我们开拓新增长领域的战略，展示了我们为客户提供的服务范围不断扩大，以及ADNOC Offshore对我们作为其首选合作伙伴的信任”。

根据ADNOC L&S所言，ADNOC Offshore在项目交付中部署人工岛概念方面拥有丰富的经验，与需要更多海上设施和基础设施的传统方法相比，带来了“显著的成本节约和环境效益”。

这家总部位于阿联酋的公司认为，这是其追求新增长机遇战略的“重要里程碑”。在综合物流业务中提供工程、采购和施工（EPC）服务是ADNOC L&S的一项新服务，符合其宣布的实现显著持续增长的战略，包括向新的垂直领域扩张。

由于预计未来几年该地区的EPC市场将大幅增长，该公司计划为其客户提供更广泛的服务，同时促进ADNOC上下游业务的增长。

这并不是ADNOC Offshore最近为提高Lower Zakum油田产量而签订的第一笔交易，因为该公司于2022年9月签署了一份EPC合同，以建造一条新的主输气管线。这将使该气田的天然气生产能力从每天4.3亿标准立方英尺增加到7亿标准立方英尺。

预计这将满足下扎库姆油田伴生气产量的增加，因为该油田的石油生产能力预计到2025年将增至每天45万桶。

ADNOC doles out $975 million to unlock more hydrocarbons at Lower Zakum

UAE’s ADNOC Offshore has awarded a $975 million artificial island construction contract to ADNOC Logistics & Services (ADNOC L&S), as part of its long-term development plan for the Lower Zakum field offshore Abu Dhabi. The UAE player wants to unlock greater value from the field while helping to meet the increasing global energy demand.

This is the first major award for ADNOC L&S after it was listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) on 1 June 2023, following the highest demand globally for an IPO this year. As part of ADNOC’s In-Country Value programme, at least 75 per cent of the total contract value for dredging, land reclamation, and marine construction of an artificial island ‘G’ for the Lower Zakum offshore field, will flow back into the UAE economy.

Captain Abdulkareem Al Masabi, Chief Executive Officer of ADNOC L&S, commented: “Capitalising on our project management expertise, end-to-end logistics solutions, and strategic partnerships, ADNOC L&S is primed to execute major offshore EPC contracts that support our customers’ ambitious growth plans and deliver value to our shareholders.

“This contract award for the construction of artificial island ‘G’ exemplifies our strategy to tap into new growth areas, showcasing the expanding range of services we offer to our customers and the trust that ADNOC Offshore has placed in us as their partner of choice.”

According to ADNOC L&S, ADNOC Offshore has “extensive” experience in deploying the artificial island concept for project delivery, resulting in “significant cost savings and environmental benefits” compared to conventional approaches that require more offshore installations and infrastructure.

The UAE-based firm considers this award as “a significant milestone” in its strategy to pursue new growth opportunities. The provision of engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services in the integrated logistics business is a new offering by ADNOC L&S in line with its announced strategy to achieve significant ongoing growth, including expansion into new verticals.

As the EPC market is expected to experience substantial growth in the region in the coming years, the company plans to offer a broader range of services to its customers while facilitating the growth of ADNOC’s upstream and downstream operations.

This is not the first deal ADNOC Offshore has awarded recently to increase the production from its Lower Zakum field, as the firm handed out another EPC contract in September 2022 to build a new main gas line. This would enable the field’s gas production capacity to increase from 430 million to 700 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD).

This is expected to cater for the increased volume of associated gas produced by the Lower Zakum field as the field’s oil production capacity is anticipated to rise to 450,000 barrels of oil per day by 2025.
