Mott MacDonald a global engineering and development consultancy is celebrating its recent success at the Oil & Gas Middle East Awards held in Dubai last night.
Charles P. Ellinas, Managing Director for Oil, Gas and Petrochemicals at Matt MacDonald, received the Offshore Project of the Year award for its Zakum Water Injection Upgrade Project at the Oil & Gas Middle East Awards held last night in Dubai.
“We’re very thrilled to get this award, it was a very highly demanding and innovative project and it’s good to see the recognition that the project deserves,” he said.
The project was a fast-track proramme in the Lower Zakum field off the coast of Abu Dhabi which produces 340,000 bpd from 300 wells. In 2010, field operator ADMA-OPCO commissioned a $350 million project to increase water injection capacity and pressure in the Zakum West and Central Super Complexes to increase output to 100,000 bpd by 2015.
Mott MacDonald assisted with the installation of new pumps, piping and transformers; modification of existing instrumentation and equipment and sructural reinforcement of seven existing water injection modules.
The project has recorded more than 4 million man hours worked without a lost time incident, 53 km of piping and 175 km of power and control cabling. Mott MacDonald was the project management consultant for ADMA-OPCO at the Zakum field, with Jay Ray McDemott, Middle East as the EPC contractor.
Awards were given in thirteen categories, and Mott MacDonald joined the ranks of Saudi Aramco, Shell, Total and Schlumberger on the winner’s podium last night at the ceremony which was organized by Oil & Gas Middle East and ArabianOilandGas.com, the region’s leading information sources for energy professionals.
The publication successfully hosted its third outing last night at the luxury Westin Hotel in Dubai, UAE.
