PROJECT
The Lower Zakum Long Term Development Phase 1 (LTDP-1) is a major ADNOC Offshore initiative, with NMDC Energy playing a key role in executing the $2.64 billion contract to boost production capacity to 520,000 barrels per day by 2027. The project involves constructing two new wellhead towers (WHT2, WHT3), a Gas Processing Facilities (GPF-II) platform, two power distribution platforms, 30 km of pipelines, and 35 km of subsea cables.

TECHNICAL ON
The offshore environment imposes stringent corrosion-resistance requirements due to the high levels of H₂S (sour gas). To address this, advanced corrosion-resistant alloy (CRA) cladded piping systems are specified, along with dedicated weld overlay cladding.
The integration of new infrastructure – including Gas Processing Facilities (GPF-II) and Power Distribution Platforms (PDP) – with existing assets in the Zakum West and Central super complexes requires meticulous engineering.
The scope includes the installation of 35 kilometers of subsea composite cables (132 kV and 6.6 kV) and 30 kilometers of pipelines.
