ADOC 2022 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT

          Our Operations



            ADOC operates in the UAE oil and gas sector and is responsible for the extraction, processing, and transportation
            of crude oil to Japan. ADOC operates four oil fields approximately 100 kilometers west of Abu Dhabi City:
            Mubarraz, Umm Al Anbar (AR), Neewat Al Ghalan (GA) and Hail. The main processing and support facilities
            are located in Mubarraz Island, south of the GA Field. Mubarraz Island hosts oil and gas processing, crude
            storage, crude loading, water treatment facilities, accommodation blocks and other associated infrastructure.

            Crude oil produced is shipped as Mubarraz crude oil to Japan. The field operations are supported by the field
            office in Abu Dhabi and the warehouse facility in Mussafah.



            Mubarraz Field



            Commercial  production  in Mubarraz  Field  commenced in 1973.
            The Field consists of the Central Facilities Platform (CFP), located
            in the center of Mubarraz Field, three production platforms, seven
            well  platforms,  and  twelve  tripod  well  platforms.  Fluid  from  the
            production wells is treated on the production platforms for the first
            stage separation and then transported to CFP through submarine
            pipelines, where the oil and gas is gathered  and transported to
            Mubarraz Island via pipelines for final processing. The CFP has a living
            quarters platform, control room platform and a production platform,
            which are connected by bridge.




            AR and GA Fields




            Commercial production in the AR and GA Fields commenced in 1989
            and 1995, respectively. The AR Site Terminal (ARST) is in the center of
            the AR Field and is equipped with oil processing, sweet gas injection
            and sour gas injection facilities. A causeway provides onshore access
            from Mubarraz Island to the ARST. Well-head streams from the AR
            and  GA  Fields  are  gathered  through the  pipeline  network  at  the
            ARST, where both oil and gas are then separated using multi-staged
            separators. The separated oil is then transported to Mubarraz Island
            and the gas is sent to sweet and sour gas injection facilities where it
            is used in reservoirs to enhance oil recovery.


         Our Product


             Our product is processed crude oil produced from ADOC’s oil fields. Tankers loaded with crude oil in Abu
             Dhabi leave the Arabian Gulf through the Straits of Hormuz, across the Indian Ocean and through the Straits
             of Malacca to deliver the crude oil to Japan. The tankers travel approximately 11,500 kilometers with a sailing
             time of 18 days. The marketing and sales operations are undertaken in Japan where the product is sold and is
             beyond the scope of this reporting boundary . ADOC's customers are in Japan.
