During February 2018, Al Yasat Company for Petroleum Operations LLC (Al Yasat) invited companies to bid on the front end engineering and design (FEED) contract for its planned development of three oil fields within the offshore Central Fields Block. Al Yasat completed an extensive 3D seismic campaign over the undeveloped Umm Al Salsal, Umm Al Dholou and Belbazem oil fields in October 2015. It subsequently drilled and tested a successful appraisal well on the Belbazem structure during 2016. The company is targeting a production rate of 45,000 barrels of oil a day (bo/d) and 30 million cubic feet of gas (MMcfg/d) by 2023 from the concession, which is contiguous to the super giant Umm Shaif and Zakum field development areas. Al Yasat has already adopted an accelerated contracting strategy and execution plan for its first offshore development, the US$ 150 million Bu Haseer Early Production Scheme Project which is targeting first oil in 2018.
