ADNOC Drilling establishes a record drilling the longest oil and gas well in the world

Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) announced today that it is establishing a new one record world by drilling the longest oil and gas well in the world in the Upper Zakum concession.

The shaft extends for a distance of 50,000 feet and its length exceeds approximately 800 feet record for the world’s longest well previously announced in 2017, and supports ADNOC’s efforts to increase its production capacity from oil and gas resources to help meet the growing global demand for energy. ADNOC Drilling drilled the new well from the island of Umm Al Anbar, one of the artificial islands off the coast of ADNOC.

This engineering achievement is part of the extended drilling project designed and led by ADNOC Offshore in collaboration with its international strategic partners in the Upper Zakum field, including ExxonMobil and Inpex / Jodco, according to the Emirates news agency, WAM.

The wells in drilling course with extended drilling technology aim to exploit the undeveloped resources within the gigantic “Upper Zakum” field, with the possibility of increasing the production capacity of the field by about 15,000 barrels of oil per day, without the need for any expansion or construction of new infrastructures.

Abdul Rahman Abdullah Al-Sayari, CEO of ADNOC Drilling, said: “This result from record in drilling the longest well is the result of ADNOC Drilling’s efforts to increase the operational efficiency of its customers in its ongoing effort to improve and increase shareholder value It also reflects ADNOC Drilling’s commitment to reducing operating costs and contributes to enabling ADNOC to achieve the goal of increasing its oil and gas production capacity.

Umm al-Anbar is one of the four artificial islands in the Upper Zakum field that are used as a hub for drilling and offshore operations.

It is interesting to note that “ADNOC Marine” has developed working methods on artificial islands, which have an important value in cost efficiency and reduce the environmental impact of operations compared to traditional methods that require a lot of marine equipment and infrastructure.
