Owned and operated by ADNOC Onshore (formerly ADCO), Bu Hasa is one of the oldest producing onshore oil fields in the UAE and has been in operation since 1965. The oil field was originally developed with four central degassing stations (CDSs) located in different places, which were upgraded and relocated into a single centralized facility between 2003 and 2008.
Today, the Bu Hasa field development project produces up to 550,000bpd of oil, which is pumped into the Jebel Al Dhanna terminal for export. The project also involves new gas compression facilities, new production of water injection network, and an upgrade of the existing water treatment facilities. The objective of this project is to improve the overall production efficiency of the field through a second gas lift recovery phase, while streamlining the water handling and reducing the number of inactive wells on the field. The expansion of this project is expected to increase the daily production capacity of the field by 100,000 barrels.
