NPCC wins Dh6.2 bn Adma-Opco contract

National Petroleum Construction Company (NPCC), in consortium with Technip France Abu Dhabi, has been awarded by Abu Dhabi Marine Operating Company (Adma-Opco), the contract for the EPC work of Umm Lulu Full Field Development Project – Package 2 (Process Facilities).

The contract was awarded with an approximate value of $1.69 billion (Dh6.2 billion), at the conclusion of a competitive bidding process in which many international EPC contractors participated.

The contract’s scope of work consists of the detailed engineering, procurement, fabrication, offshore installation, commissioning and start-up of a large offshore super complex located in the Umm Lulu field. The complex will comprise six bridge linked platforms including gathering, separation, gas treatment and water disposal facilities, utilities and accommodation modules. These platforms totaling over 66,000 metric tons will be fabricated at NPCC’s yard in Abu Dhabi.

The platforms will be installed by  the floatover method , which  allows  a  high  proportion of the hook-up and pre-commissioning work to be completed  onshore  prior  to  load-out, and thereby significantly reduces  both the duration and cost of the offshore commissioning phase. NPCC has applied this specialised installation technique on several projects.

The project is scheduled to be completed in in the first half of 2018.

This award is one of the largest in the UAE’s offshore industry.

The Umm Lulu Field is located in the Arabian Gulf, 42km from Abu Dhabi.
