The scope of the work included basic design and installation of subsea pipelines, umbilicals, risers, and flowlines. Saipem was awarded the engineering, procurement, construction, and installation (EPCI) contracts for the Zohr field development project in multiple phases between 20. The onshore gas processing facility comprises eight gas production trains along with sulphur production units.Įni has reduced its participating interest in the Shorouk Block by 50% since the Zohr field discovery in August 2015.īP purchased a 10% participating interest in the Shorouk Concession for £300m ($375m) from Eni in February 2017.Įni sold a 30% stake in the Shorouk Concession to Rosneft for approximately £860m ($1.1bn) in October 2017.Įni held a 60% participating interest when the field came on stream in December 2017.įurther in June 2018, Eni sold a 10% stake for £707.5m ($934m) to Mubadala Petroleum, a subsidiary of Abu Dhabi-based Mubadala Investment Company. The gas produced by the field is transported through two 216km-long and 30in-diameter pipelines connecting to an onshore gas treatment facility at El-Gamil. The subsea installations at the field include manifolds, tie-in systems, subsea and topside control systems, and pressure protection system.

The field’s gas production is controlled by a shallow water platform that weighs 6,000 tonnes (t) and is located in 85m-deep waters, approximately 65km away from the coast. The Zohr gas field is currently developed with 13 production wells, while a total of more than 200 wells are planned to be drilled over the field’s production life. The offshore gas field is estimated to contain up to 30 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of recoverable gas reserves. The Zohr field’s reservoir extends for more than 4,100m beneath the sea bed. The water depth in the field area is approximately 1,500m. The Zohr field is spread over 100km 2 within the offshore Shorouk Block, approximately 190km away from Port Said, Egypt. The capacity is planned to be increased further to 3.2Bcfd by 2020. The field was brought on stream in December 2017, while its production capacity reached 2.7 billion cubic feet per day (Bcfd) in August 2019.
