BP to develop second phase of Oman’s giant Khazzan gas field

[CMOP + 227]

BP today announced that, together with its partner the Oman Oil Company Exploration & Production, it has approved the development of Ghazeer, the second phase of the giant Khazzan gas field in Oman.

The final investment decision for Ghazeer follows the successful start-up of Khazzan’s first phase of development in September 2017. This project, which started production ahead of schedule and under budget, is now producing at design capacity of around 1 Bcfd and around 35,000 bpd of condensate.

The Ghazeer project is expected to come onstream in 2021 and deliver an additional 0.5 Bcfd and over 15,000 bpd condensate production. Drilling on the first three development wells has begun, following appraisal drilling on Ghazeer last year. Initial construction work has already started at Khazzan to accommodate a third gas train and associated infrastructure.
