The central drilling facilities and processing facilities involving 150,000 tonnes of modular plants will utilise new technologies in “extended reach drilling and maximum reservoir contact to effectively develop the entire field”, Zadco says.
ExxonMobil’s extensive experience at the Sakhalin field in Russia and elsewhere with the new technology played a key role in the decision, Zadco said.
“The use of maximum reservoir contact technology offers the opportunity to reduce the required number of new wells and unlock tighter areas in the reservoir.”
