A project to develop Jurassic production facilities (JPF) off-plot infrastructure in Kuwait has been completed by Kuwait’s Combined Group Contracting (CGC).The $137m project contract was awarded to CGC in February 2021 by the state-owned upstream operator Kuwait Oil Company (KOC).The project was focused on developing off-plot infrastructure for two upstream facilities known as JPF-4 and JPF-5.Its scope included:Laying 6-inch flow lines from Jurassic oil wells up to the inlet manifolds inside the facilities including facility tie-ins (Approximately 40 flow lines per facility)Laying the 6-inch effluent water lines from facilities to wellsLaying of 4-inch reinforced thermosetting resin pipe (RTRP) line from source water wells to facilitiesInstallation of Jurassic oil wellhead hook upInstallation of source water wellhead hook upOther related works at the wellhead areaInstallation of effluent water disposal wellhead hook upConstruction of new asphalt road for facilitiesRecently, oil was introduced to JPF-4 and JPF-5 for the first time and both of the facilities are currently undergoing commissioning.The contractors responsible for the commissioning of each facility both have 60 days to commission the plants, according to their contracts.KOC awarded the main $426m contract for JPF-5 to China’s Jereh in December 2021. Kuwait’s Spetco won a contract worth $398m for JPF-4 in the same month.The introduction of oil and gas to JPF-5 took place on 25 December 2023 and it took place on 18 December for JPF-4.JPF-4 is being developed close to the Sabriyah field in northern Kuwait. JPF-5 is less than 10 kilometres east of JPF-4.Both facilities will test, process, treat and handle wet and sour hydrocarbons well fluids from several oil and gas fields.These include Raudhatain, Sabriyah, Northwest Raudhatain, Umm Niqa, Dhabi, Bahr, Marratt and Najmah-Sarjelu, and other formations in the Jurassic fields.Both projects are onshore surface production facilities and are being implemented on a build, own and operate basis by a contractor.Spetco and Jereh will operate and maintain the facilities for five years. KOC has the option to extend the contract at a future date.The facilities are due to operate with the capacity to produce 50,000 barrels a day (b/d) of treated sweet crude – Jurassic light oil with American Petroleum Institute (API) gravity of 40-50 degrees – and 150 million cubic feet a day of sweet and dehydrated rich gas.
