ADNOC inaugurates one of the world’s largest offshore oil platforms

One of the world’s largest offshore oil platforms – the Umm Lulu gas treatment plant (ULGTP), was officially inaugurated on 26 June 2019. The platform was built in the United Arab Emirates by the National Petroleum Construction Company (NPCC), a part of Senaat, for Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC).

The ULGTP, weighing 32,000 tonnes, is one of five platforms manufactured by the NPCC at its fabrication yard in Musaffah, Abu Dhabi. It is part of an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract awarded by ADNOC to NPCC, in consortium with TechnipFMC, for the Umm Lulu Package 2 full field development (process facilities) project.

The ULGTP forms a key part of ADNOC’s Umm Lulu field infrastructure. The field will have an oil production capacity of more than 100,000 b/d in 2020, helping ADNOC increase company production capacity from 3mn to 5mn b/d by 2030.

The ULGTP will now set sail to the Umm Lulu field, where NPCC will undertake commissioning work, including the installation of the fixed platform using the float-over method.
