ABU DHABI, U.A.E (Dec. 17, 2015) – AlMansoori Specialized Engineering, an oilfield services provider in the Middle East, has announced the deployment of the first of two planned production testing and stimulation vessels in the Arabian Gulf.
Announcing this decision as part of the company's ongoing expansion of its comprehensive portfolio of oilfield services in the region, Nabil Al Alawi, the company’s chief executive officer, said, “The new vessel, with its range of unique capabilities, will substantially reinforce our capacity to offer production testing and well stimulation services of the highest quality and an enhanced level of operational efficiency to our clients.”
The vessel, MV Al Nisr DP-II, will allow the company to offer production testing and well stimulation at the highest level. All onboard testing equipment has been designed to conduct production testing on oil and gas wells with high H2S and CO2 levels. In addition, the vessel has been fitted with the latest safety equipment.
The oil production and testing capability of the vessel can accommodate up to 15,000 bbl/day with re-injection using oil re-injection pumps. The gas production and testing capability of MV Al Nisr can reach 70 million standard cubic feet per day. The vessel has the ability to test single or multi-well developments and to allow full-scale production tests to be performed at remote offshore locations with the minimum of downtime.
The MV Al Nisr is also equipped with high-pressure pumping equipment and related facilities that are capable of handling various well-servicing applications, such as chemical pumping and squeezing; acid mixing and pumping for well stimulation; well-killing operations; pressure testing; nitrogen lifting; and well unloading and pigging pipelines.
The pumping and stimulation system has been configured to the latest international standards for automated mixing and pumping operations for a wide range of fluid volumes to efficiently enable various operations requirements.
The Al Nisr and its sister ship will be deployed in the Arabian Gulf to service the needs of some of AlMansoori Specialized Engineering's top clients.
