Petroleum Development Oman’s (PDO) Rabab Harweel Integrated Project (RHIP) has entered the start-up phase with gas production from the first sour wells, marking a key milestone for the mega project and coming two months ahead of schedule.
This represents a significant step in the commissioning process and work is progressing to initiate and stabilize the hydrocarbon processing facilities and to line up more wells. The plant’s capacity will be ramped up in the coming weeks.
RHIP is an integrated oil and gas development across the Rabab and Harweel reservoirs in southern Oman, which demonstrates many aspects of innovation, capital efficiency, and sustainability. It is the largest capital project in PDO’s history, representing a reserve add of more than 500 M barrels of oil equivalent.
The facilities were built to handle the production of oil and gas from the Harweel oil reservoirs via miscible gas injection (MGI) and the production of gas from the Harweel and neighboring Rabab reservoirs.
Gas and oil production from RHIP will provide additional revenue that will contribute to economic growth.
