Adn<\/strong>oc has taken the final investment decision (FID) on the Sarb deep g<\/strong>as<\/strong> development<\/strong>, greenlighting the offshore project inside the Ghasha concession, according to a press release<\/a>. The development marks Adnoc\u2019s expansion into the ultra-deep, high-pressure reservoirs in Sarb \u2014 a new development phase within an already-producing<\/a> offshore field. <\/p>\n

(** Tap or click the headline above to read this story with all of the links<\/strong> to our background and outside sources.)<\/p>\n

Sarb is set to deliver 200 mn standard cubic feet per day (mmcf \/ d) before the end of 2030<\/strong> and will be operated remotely from Arzanah Island, with production tied back to Das Island for upstream treatment at Adnoc Gas facilities. It sits 120 km offshore Abu Dhabi and centers on a new platform with four gas production wells. <\/p>\n

This is the second major progress update for its Ghasha concession in as many months. <\/strong>Adnoc recently secured<\/a> up to USD 11 bn in financing for its Hail and Ghasha offshore gas development, which allows the company to access capital based on future gas production, giving it funds upfront without exposing its wider balance sheet to project risk. The Ghasha concession includes a cluster of offshore oil and gas fields such as Hail, Ghasha, Dalma, Nasr, Satah al Razboot (Sarb), Bu Haseer, Shuweihat, and Mubarraz sour gas fields. <\/p>\n

Why th<\/strong>is matters: <\/strong>A FID typically marks the turning point from a project\u2019s planning phase to concrete execution, signaling a firm\u2019s conviction in a particular asset. This is especially true when it comes to the energy sector \u2014 often long-term, labor-intensive projects with a hefty price tag to boot \u2014 and deep gas operations, which are more technically difficult and require a bigger capital commitment. This particular play is also a boon for the UAE\u2019s ambitions to boost energy exports and reduce reliance on LNG imports.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
