Project Vision & Scope

The Integrated Services contract was envisioned as a premier solution for complex logistical and civil requirements in the Sirani Block. The project aimed to create a viable operational environment, seamlessly integrating civil works, supply logistics, and site infrastructure. The design enhanced the rig's operational capabilities, from the jetties and creek crossings to the overall layout.

The concept is centred on achieving a balance between operational needs and environmental compliance. By incorporating access roads, well site construction, and specialised creek crossing arrangements, the complex maintains high levels of logistical efficiency. Our goal was to provide a technically sound project, reflecting AMCORP's expertise in testing terrains.

Design & Execution

Technical excellence and structural integrity were the foundation of this contract. From initial design sketches, including geotechnical and hydrographical surveys, every detail was meticulously executed to ensure a reliable and structurally sound outcome. Essential materials like piling, concrete, and structural elements were selected to enhance durability and operational value, meeting the client's high standards.

The design maximises logistical flow, with jetties and creek crossings creating a seamless connection for rig and personnel movement. Specialised marine safety standards are incorporated to elevate functionality. Proven civil and mechanical construction methods further reinforce the project’s commitment to responsible delivery.

Outcome & Future Management

The successful execution marks a new standard in challenging field development for AMCORP. The client benefits from unparalleled logistical and site readiness, with permanent structures offering robust access and stable marine operations. Critical temporary facilities, including base camps, storage yards, and infrastructure, ensure a premium operational capability tailored to the rig's schedule.

Beyond construction, the complex fosters operational continuity with a commitment to long-term site management. The project includes restoration and a two-year operation and maintenance (O&M) period. This offers a long-term partnership approach to site management in the Sirani Block.
