OPERATIONS

 

Activities: ZADCO was established in 1977 to develop and operate the Upper Zakum Field, one of the largest oil

fields in the world, on behalf of ADNOC and Japan Oil Development Company (JODCO). The development of the Upper Zakum reservoirs is considered to be one of the major technical achievements in Abu Dhabi. Besides Upper Zakum, the company currently operates Umm Al Dalkh, and Satah fields. The company also aims to explore and develop Jarnain and Dalma structures.

 

Crude oil from Upper Zakum, Umm Al Dalkh and Satah field is pumped via main oil lines to Zirku Island for further processing, storage and to be exported.

 

The Upper Zakum Field is located about 80km offshore, north-west of Abu Dhabi City and came into production in 1982. The Umm Al Dakh Field is located 20km offshore, northwest of Abu Dhabi City and began production in 1985. The Satah Field is located about 180km offshore, north-west of Abu Dhabi City and began production in 1987

 

In May 2002 Zadco, in partnership with Adnoc and Abu Dhabi Marine Operations Co (Adma-Opco), completed the first phase in a project to develop and expand the output capacity of the giant Zakum field. The first phase of the project involved conducting a massive seismic survey.

 

The project took nearly 18 months to complete and it has attracted great global interest in the oil and technical fields as it involved new advanced techniques that have not been introduced before in unprecedented survey conditions. It was intended to assess the field's hydrocarbon reserves and develop its production capacity.

 

Lower and Upper Zakum is one of the biggest offshore oilfields in the world with recoverable reserves of more than 10 billion barrels. Its combined production capacity is believed to be close to one million barrels per day.

 

In August 2003, subject signed a contract with Honeywell Industry Solutions of the US worth approximately $17 million, to supply, engineer, test, commission, and start up an Experion PKS(tm) Process Knowledge System(tm) for the Zirku and Satah plants on Zirku Island, Abu Dhabi. The new system will increase long-term production for ZADCO, improve plant safety, and maximize ZADCO's Return On Capital Employed (ROCE). The contract includes the supply of a Honeywell integrated control and safety system, advanced applications and installation, commissioning and support services. When completed, the project will ensure production stability for a long period at Zirku, and will enable ZADCO to operate, maintain and keep up-to-date with the latest technology at lower operational costs.

 

                 In 2005 Zadco achieved the ISO 14001 Certification.

 

Subject has a workforce of approximately 3,000 employees.
