Clustering and Corridoring Project and Challenges

View through CrossRef
Abstract By late 90's, Abu Dhabi Company for Onshore Oil Operations (ADCO) started facing increasing surface congestion and related potential operating hazards caused by haphazard laying of new surface assets/facilities in ADCO concession areas due to the implementation of aggressive field development plans. ADCO Management realized very early the need to reduce congestion and reduce the risk to the equipment and personnel while coping with the increased number of surface equipment as business needs expanded. As a result, the Clustering and Corridoring (C&C) Project was launched in 2003 and was divided into three studies phases. Phase I and II studies defined the optimum configuration of the facilities to control congestion and reduce the surface facilities footprint. The studies outcome was the development of four main design concepts: Exclusion Zones, Well Pairing, Corridors Design, and Radial Corridors Layout. Phase III studies resulted in the re-defining of Production Pad concept in order to meet the long term field development requirements. To date a total of 97 flowlines have been laid in the corridors in all ADCOs' major fields and a total of 24 wells were clustered since May 2005 in line with the Clustering and Corridoring Project guidelines.
