ADNOC - Mirfa Seawater Treatment Plant
Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc) and Abu Dhabi National Energy Company(TAQA) are developing Mirfa seawater treatment under Project Wave in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
The project will be funded through a special purpose vehicle (SPV) on a build, own, operate, and transfer (BOOT) model for 30 years. ADNOC and TAQA will jointly hold a 51% stake (25.5% each) in the SPV, and Orascom Construction and Metito will own 49% (24.5% each).
The project will replace the current aquifer water injection systems used for maintaining reservoir pressure in ADNOCâs onshore oil fields, thereby ensuring sustainable water supply for ADNOCâs onshore operations while preserving the UAEâs natural aquifer resources. The project will also enhance energy efficiency by up to 30% and reduce ADNOCâs environmental footprint compared to the current injection system.
The US$2,700 million project involves the following:
1. Construction of a seawater treatment plant
2. Development of a nanofiltration plant with a capacity of 110 million imperial gallons a day(500,000 m3/day)
3. Construction of a pumping station
4. Laying of a 75-kilometer (km) water transmission pipeline to the Bab and Bu Hasa oilfields
5. Construction of seawater intake and outfall facilities
6. Development of an in-field distribution network to disseminate treated water to water injection wells
7. Construction of seawater intake and outfall
