A new world record for the longest oil and gas well had been set at Upper Zakum Concession. This was announced by Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) today.
The well is around 800 feet longer and stretches 50,000 feet, than the previous world record set in 2017. It supports Adnoc’s efforts to expand the production capacity of its lower-carbon oil and gas resources to help meet the world’s growing demand for energy.
Adnoc Drilling drilled the oil and gas well from Umm Al Anbar, one of Adnoc Offshore’s artificial islands. This extraordinary feat of engineering is part of an extended reach well project designed and led by Adnoc Offshore, in collaboration with its Upper Zakum strategic international partners, ExxonMobil and INPEX/JODCO.
