Hail Site Terminal and Field
Hail Field is located 10 kilometers south of Mubarraz
Island. The Hail Field development project is planned
in two phases: Early Production Scheme Phase and
Full Field Development Phase. The Early Production
Scheme was commissioned and started production
in late 2017. The Hail Site Terminal (HST) was
constructed as part of the early production, and
includes production wells, well testing facilities,
production pipelines, gas injection and gas lift pipeline,
subsea cable lines, chemical injection, and other utility
systems. Fluid produced from Hail Field is transferred provides important coral and seagrass habitats for
via pipelines to Mubarraz Island for processing. Dugongs (Dugong dugon – Vulnerable (VU) by the
Mubarraz Island, AR & GA Field and Hail Field are International Union for Conservation of Nature and
located within the Buffer Zone of the Marawah Natural Resources (IUCN)) and other marine wildlife,
Marine Biosphere Reserve. The biosphere reserve including sea turtles and dolphins.
Rig Operations
We use jack-up type offshore rigs that are designed to
operate in the shallow waters. The rig possesses a barge-
shaped hull with three legs and is also equipped with
a derrick and other devices for drilling and workover
operations. The jack-up rig is towed to a location with its
legs positioned upwards. Once reached at the designated
site, the legs are firmly positioned on the seabed for
workover or drilling operations.
Mubarraz Island
Crude oil from the Mubarraz, AR, GA and Hail Fields is
gathered through pipelines at Mubarraz Island, where
facilities are used to process the crude oil into the final
crude product, and loading facilities are used for shipment
to Japan through a Single Point Mooring (SPM) facility.
Produced water at Mubarraz Island is injected into the
underground formation through disposal wells. The
island also hosts a residential facility that accommodates
approximately 500 personnel, and provides sports and
recreation facilities, including a soccer field, tennis court
and golf course.
