20. Upper Zakum Full Field Development
Project Overview
Zadco is carrying out
a three-stage project to increase oil production at the Upper Zakum field to 750,000 barrels a day (b/d), from its current 500,000 b/d.
The first phase involves the construction of an early production facility to increase production capacity by 100,000 b/d by 2015.
Phase two covers permanent production facilities to boost production by a further 150,000 b/d by 2016.
The third phase covers a number of smaller projects to sustain production at 750,000 b/d. Paris-based Technip is carrying out the front-end engineering and design studies for all three phases.
