DNO Working to Restart Production Offshore Oman

DNO International, an oil and gas company headquartered in Norway, has announced that the company has been working vigorously to bring the West Bukha field in Oman’s offshore Block 8 to production.

In Block 8 located in the Strait of Hormuz, DNO has addressed a blockage since late March in the 12-inch pipeline connecting the West Bukha and Bukha platforms by replacing a 4.3 kilometer section of the line.

West Bukha oil and gas production is expected to resume by the end of the month with the two previously producing wells joined by a third newly completed development well, accelerating the recovery of deferred production. A fourth West Bukha development well is progressing according to plan and is drilling ahead at 3,272 meters.

The West Bukha volatile oil field was developed with a 6 slot unmanned platform and came onto production in 2009.
