Description
- The Khazzan project represents the first phase in the development of one of the Middle East region’s largest unconventional tight gas accumulations. Owing to the tight nature of rocks in Khazzan reservoirs, the wells need to be hydraulically stimulated to stimulate production and flow gas at target rates.
- The full field development will involve a drilling programme of around 300 wells over 15 years to deliver plateau production of one billion cubic feet (28.3 million cubic metres) of gas per day and 25,000 barrels per day of gas condensate.
- The CPF will include two process trains, each having a capacity of 525 million standard cubic feet of gas per day.
- The project also includes an associated condensate processing system, power generation plant, water treatment system and all associated utilities and infrastructure
