Midyan field is located in a remote area in the Northwest region of Saudi Arabia. The field was developed to produce gas which generates power thus reducing the more costly diesel burning. The industry in this region is growing which requires additional power generation. Moreover, this development created an opportunity for further exploration and development in this region. This success has led to an exponential increase in exploration activities in the region targeting offshore prospects in the Red Sea.
The field was discovered in 1992 and further delineated afterwards. A multi-disciplinary team was formed to choose the most optimum cost effective way to develop the field. The development started in 2009 followed by construction activities that were completed by 2016. During the presentation, the pioneering developments will be highlighted.
The session will cover most aspects of development from exploration, delineation, field development, construction, testing and finally production.
