Last year, the company announced plans to consolidate the offshore operations of ADMA-OPCO and the Zakum Development Company (ZADCO) to form a new integrated offshore company.

This company will operate the new ADMA concessions and the existing ZADCO operated Upper Zakum concession.

The consolidation is expected to be completed by the end of this year.

ADNOC noted that offshore development is a strategic focus of the company as it aims to increase oil production capacity to 3.5 million barrels per day (bpd) next year.

The existing ADMA-OPCO operated concession area is expected to have a production capacity of one million bpd from the current 700,000bpd by 2021.
