Umm Shaif offshore field The Umm Shaif oil and gas field is located in the Umm Shaif and Nasr hydrocarbons block of Abu Dhabi’s premium offshore concession, previously operated by erstwhile Adnoc group companies Adma-Opco and Zadco.

Between March and April 2018, Adnoc awarded a 10 per cent stake in the Umm Shaif and Nasr offshore block to Italy’s Eni, 20 per cent to France’s Total and 10 per cent to China National Petroleum Corporation, itself retaining the majority 60% interest.

The operators currently produce about 460,000 barrels a day (b/d) from the Umm Shaif and Nasr block. With the Umm Shaif LTDP project, Adnoc Offshore aims to raise the field’s output by another 75,000 b/d in two phases.

The Umm Shaif LTDP project is part of the Abu Dhabi energy major’s strategic objective to achieve an overall oil production spare capacity of 5 million b/d in this decade.

In May last year, MEED reported that Adnoc Offshore had issued the invitation to bid for the Umm Shaif LTDP phase one project. LTDP phase two, currently in the study phase, is understood to be a bigger project, estimated to be worth $1.5bn-$2bn.
