据上游3月30日消息，卡塔尔能源公司已向总部位于荷兰的Fugro授予一份关键技术服务合同，旨在降低其巨大的Bul Hanine和Maydan Mahzam海上油田的进一步开发风险。

这家荷兰公司周二确认了该合同，并表示其工作范围包括为这一重要海上资产提供“高价值、多年期的海底地理数据采集和地理咨询服务”。

该公司表示，这项工作将在三艘最先进的船舶上进行——Fugro Proteus、Pacific Grouse和 Bourbon Enterprise。

报告指出，“一个Fugro调查专家团队将进行一系列深入的地质和地球物理评估，并建立环境基线数据。”

Bul Hanine和 Maydan Mahzam油田的综合开发计划已进行了数年，但由于油价持续低迷，执行工作被推迟。

然而，业内人士表示，在市场基本面改善的情况下，卡塔尔热衷于进一步开发这两个海上油田的潜力，预计将继续推进其开发阶段。

工程阶段

一位接近卡塔尔能源的人士表示，据说该公司也正在推进该项目的前端工程和设计阶段，这表明它追求价值数十亿美元的海上平台重建。

据悉，2019年，卡塔尔石油公司（现为卡塔尔能源公司）与英国伍德公司签订了一份重要的FEED前期合同，用于该项目的工作。

据上游报道， FEED前期工作的工作范围包括扩建现有的海上生产站PS-2和PS-3、若干井口平台、立管塔、多段海上管道和其他相关的海上基础设施。

巨额投资计划

2014年，卡塔尔公司宣布计划投入超过100亿美元用于改造Bul Hanine，将项目分为三个阶段——1A、1B和2。

卡塔尔已经开始了1A和1B阶段，但被认为包括一个巨大的超级综合平台的Bul Hanine第二阶段于2017年被搁置。

2017年，McDermott与卡塔尔巨头签订了Bul Hanine重建项目1B阶段的工程合同，被认为价值超过3.5亿美元。

该项目包括四个井口平台的顶部、一个多管平台、10公里的脐带管道和用于井液和气举的海底管道。

McDermott还参与了Bul Hanine重建的初始阶段，并在2016年获得了四个井口导管架的 EPCI合同，作为该项目1A阶段的一部分。

四十多年来，卡塔尔能源一直在从Maydan Mahzam和Bul Hanine生产石油和伴生天然气。

Maydan Mahzam于1965年开始生产，Bul Hanine于1972年开始生产。

Bul Hanine距离卡塔尔约120公里，已经生产了超过13亿桶石油。

QatarEnergy awards key contract for Bul Hanine and Maydan Mahzam offshore fields

QatarEnergy has awarded a key technical services contract to Netherlands-headquartered Fugro that is aimed at de-risking the further development of its huge Bul Hanine and Maydan Mahzam offshore oilfields.

The Dutch player confirmed the award on Tuesday and said its workscope involves the delivery of “high-value multi-year seabed geo-data acquisition and geo-consultancy services” for the prized offshore asset.

The company said that work would be carried out from three state-of-the-art vessels —Fugro Proteus, Pacific Grouse and Bourbon Enterprise.

“A Fugro team of survey specialists will perform a range of in-depth geotechnical and geophysical assessments, as well as establishing environmental baseline data,” it noted.

The integrated development of the Bul Hanine and Maydan Mahzam fields has been on the cards for several years, but its execution has been delayed in the wake of sustained low oil prices.

However, industry sources have said that Qatar is keen to further exploit the potential of the two offshore fields on the back of improved market fundamentals, and is expected to press ahead with its development phase.

Engineering phase

One person close to QatarEnergy said the company is also said to be progressing with the project’s front-end engineering and design stage, indicating that it is keen to pursue the multi-billion dollar offshore redevelopment.

In 2019, Qatar Petroleum (now QatarEnergy) awarded a crucial pre-FEED contract to UK’s Wood for work on the project, Upstream understands.

The workscope for the pre-FEED job included the expansion of existing offshore production stations PS-2 and PS-3, several wellhead platforms, riser towers, multiple segments of offshore pipelines and other associated offshore infrastructure, Upstream reported.

Huge investment plans

In 2014, the Qatari player announced plans to spend more than $10 billion on revamping Bul Hanine alone, dividing the project into three phases — 1A, 1B and 2.

Qatar has already embarked on phases 1A and 1B, but the second phase of Bul Hanine, which was thought to include a huge platform super-complex, was put on the back-burner in 2017.

McDermott landed a contract from the Qatari giant in 2017 for work on phase 1B of the Bul Hanine redevelopment, thought to be worth more than $350 million.

That project includes topsides for four wellhead platforms, a manifold platform, 10 kilometres of umbilicals and subsea pipelines for well fluids and gas lift.

McDermott was also involved with the initial phase of the Bul Hanine redevelopment and was awarded an EPCI contract for four wellhead jackets in 2016 as part of the project’s phase 1A.

QatarEnergy has been producing oil and associated gas from Maydan Mahzam and Bul Hanine for more than four decades.

Maydan Mahzam started production in 1965 and Bul Hanine in 1972.

Bul Hanine lies about 120 kilometres off Qatar and has already produced more than 1.3 billion barrels of oil.
