Fluor Offshore Solutions won a front-end engineering and design (FEED) for Abu Dhabi Marine Operating Company’s new offshore facilities at the Nasr field. Fluor announced on 18 October 2011 it had won the contract for the field about 30km northeast of Umm Shaif Super Complex in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

Fluor’s offices in Houston and Abu Dhabi are already carrying out work on the FEED.

The Nasr full field development project includes seven wellhead towers, super complex facilities including gas processing and oil separation production facilities, utilities platform, living quarters, infield subsea pipelines and an export pipeline to Das Island.

In 2010, Adma-Opco, majority-owned by Abu Dhabi’s state oil firm, committed to spending at least $10 billion developing the Nasr and Umm Al Lulu offshore fields to boost the firm’s crude output by 60% by 2017. ‘By 2017, we will produce 970,000 bpd and the expected investment for the two new fields is $10bn,’ Ali Rashid Al Jarwan said in 2010 about the planned investment.

The first phase of development of Umm Al Lulu and Nasr is expected to add 50,000b/d with full phase development adding another 200,000b/d, Jarwan said.
