Working under contract for SADRA, Delta Offshore Technology applied its extensive expertise in marine construction and pipeline installation to ensure the outfall system was implemented according to stringent project specifications and environmental regulations. The successful completion of these operations contributes significantly to the overall functionality and environmental compliance of the Phase 22 & 24 development.
Project Overview
Project Overview
The South Pars Gas Field Development Phases 22 & 24 represent a major expansion effort in the Persian Gulf, designed to significantly boost natural gas production. A key component of the onshore processing facilities is the water treatment system, which requires a reliable outfall system for the discharge of treated water.
Delta Offshore Technology was contracted by SADRA to perform specialized pipeline operations, including both underground sections connecting to the shore and the offshore outfall pipelines, ensuring proper installation and connection for the efficient management of discharge water.
