The East AiPS Project, also referred to as AiP5, is a significant initiative by ADNOC Onshore aimed at enhancing and sustaining crude oil production across key onshore fields in Abu Dhabi, specifically the BAB and BU HASA fields. This project is integral to ADNOC's broader strategy to increase its sustainable production capacity to 2.4 million barrels of oil per day (MMBOPD) by 2030.SaudiGulf Projects+8almashreqgroup.com+8ADNOC+8
Project Overview:
- BAB Field Enhancements:
- Targeting a production increase of 116,000 barrels of oil per day (BOPD), bringing the total sustainable output to 601,000 BOPD, with a technical capacity of 673,000 BOPD.
- Upgrades include the development of new reservoirs and the installation of off-plot facilities such as wellheads, flow lines, gathering networks, production manifolds, and mini-pads.almashreqgroup.com
- BU HASA Field Enhancements:
- Aiming for a production boost of 141,500 BOPD, achieving a sustainable output of 791,500 BOPD and a technical capacity of 891,000 BOPD.
- Similar to the BAB field, enhancements involve the addition of off-plot facilities and infrastructure upgrades to support increased production.almashreqgroup.com
Key Features:
- Integration of Advanced Technologies:
- Deployment of digitalized control valves, instrumentation, and AI-powered tools like AIQ’s RoboWell solution for real-time monitoring and autonomous control of wells.
- Utilization of ADNOC’s private 5G network to facilitate instant data transmission from sensors embedded in wells and pipelines, enhancing operational efficiency and safety.ADNOC+3World Oil+3ADNOC+3ADNOC+1World Oil+1
- Economic and Environmental Impact:
- Over 80% of the project’s value is expected to flow back into the UAE’s economy under ADNOC’s In-Country Value (ICV) program, supporting local economic growth and diversification.
- Implementation of AI-enabled process optimization technologies, such as Neuron 5, to reduce unplanned shutdowns by 50% and increase planned maintenance intervals by 20%, contributing to ADNOC’s sustainability goals.Asharq Al-Awsat+5ADNOC+5Energy Connects+5ADNOC+1JPT+1
The East AiPS Project exemplifies ADNOC's commitment to leveraging advanced technologies and strategic investments to enhance oil production while aligning with environmental sustainability and economic development objectives.
