NPCC Mubaraz Field Pipeline Investigation

Project Overview

AGSME provided comprehensive geotechnical investigation and rock core drilling services for NPCC's offshore pipeline installation program at the Mubaraz Field, Abu Dhabi. The project required detailed understanding of seabed and sub-seabed conditions along the proposed pipeline route to support engineering design and installation methodology.

Scope of Work

• Rock core drilling along pipeline route
• Seabed CPT testing at platform locations
• Vibro core sampling for shallow soils
• Geotechnical laboratory testing program
• Interpretive reporting and design recommendations

Key Challenges

Hard rock conditions requiring specialized drilling techniques. Coordination with ongoing field operations while maintaining strict safety protocols in an active production zone.

Results & Outcomes

Successfully completed the investigation program ahead of schedule. Core recovery rates exceeded 95%. Geotechnical data enabled optimized pipeline route selection, reducing project costs.
