Penspen, a leading global provider of engineering and management services to the energy industry, has been appointed as project management consultant to Abu Dhabi Marine Operation Company (ADMA-OPCO) for the ongoing work on Das Island in the United Arab Emirates.
There are four key areas where Penspen will advise and lead:
- The upgrade or replacement of various pipeline networks.
- Studies to be conducted on an oil spill response hub, to serve Das Island and offshore.
- A major overhaul of crude oil storage tanks.

Das Island is the main industrial centre of offshore oil and gas production for ADMA-OPCO, where oil and gas produced from the Umm Shaif and Zakum Fields is processed, stored and exported. As a result of its strategic location, lying in the centre of the Arabian Gulf, approximately 165 km north-west of Abu Dhabi, it is currently the regionÂé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»™s main oil storage site. Das Island is also the export terminal for oil from the offshore fields of ADMA-OPCO, and for liquefied natural gas produced by the Abu Dhabi Gas Liquefaction Company (ADGAS), both part of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, ADNOC Group.
PenspenÂé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»™s Michael Simm, Executive Vice President Middle East & Asia Pacific, said: Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»œThis is a great win for us as we are currently seeing good levels of growth in our offshore business.
