Some oil fields in the Middle East are reaching maturity and their production is starting to plateau. At the same time, Europe and the US are demanding cleaner products to help them comply with tougher emissions standards. As a result, the number of brownfield projects is on the rise, with currently more than $20bn planned and under way. The first oil and gas special report of 2012 will focus on the brownfield projects market, looking at the key markets and projects.
The challenges faced by brownfield contractors are unique and require more specialist technical expertise and greater collaboration with the client than greenfield schemes Retrofitting existing infrastructure is complex and the process of doing so carries the risk of raised cost and temporary loss of production.
MEED will explore these challenges and also gain the perspective of brownfield contractors looking to win work in the Middle East. There will also be special features on brownfield projects in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iraq – the most active markets for brownfield schemes.
To meet the more stringent requirements of Western customers, Saudi Aramco has initiated a clean fuels programme. It will enable all of the kingdom’s current domestic capacity (both wholly owned and joint ventures) to produce refined goods with lower sulphur content as well as increase product mix in many cases. Kuwait, meanwhile, is working on schemes to capture its flared gas and upgrade and expand its mid-stream infrastructure, such as pipelines. It also has that major project to clear up oilfield damage caused by the Iraq invasion. Iraq is also working to repair damaged infrastructure. Its problems range from mine-clearance from oilfields to repairing damage caused by terrorist attacks on pipelines and the need to upgrade decades old infrastructure.
