Developing Block 70 — From Resource To Production

Our Operations

The Full Upstream Lifecycle

Operator Of Block 70, Mafraq Field

Mafraq Energy is the operator of Block 70 in the Sultanate of Oman, responsible for the development and operation of the Mafraq Field.

We manage the asset across the upstream lifecycle — from exploration and appraisal through subsurface evaluation, field development, production and long-term asset management.

Our integrated approach brings together subsurface expertise, engineering, operations and commercial planning to support informed decision-making, optimize field performance and create sustainable long-term value from Block 70.

01Exploration & Appraisal

Our exploration and appraisal activities are focused on building a comprehensive understanding of Block 70 and identifying opportunities for future development.

Mafraq Energy integrates geological and geophysical interpretation, petrophysical evaluation, well data and production testing to characterize the reservoir, assess reservoir connectivity and define fluid distribution.

Information acquired through appraisal and production is continuously incorporated into our subsurface understanding, supporting resource maturation, well planning and future development decisions.

02Subsurface & Field Development

Our multidisciplinary subsurface team integrates geology, geophysics, petrophysics, production data, reservoir engineering, static and dynamic modelling to build a comprehensive understanding of the Mafraq Field.

Field development planning brings together subsurface, wells, facilities, operations and economics to define effective development concepts, optimize well placement and maximize field recovery.

Horizontal multilateral wells are an integral part of our development strategy, providing increased reservoir contact and supporting efficient development of the field. Well design and placement are continuously optimized using geological understanding, reservoir modelling and production performance.

Mafraq Energy follows a phased development approach, using production performance and reservoir surveillance to continuously improve our understanding of the field. The development strategy combines optimized well architecture with conventional production and enhanced oil recovery technologies, including thermal recovery methods, to maximize the long-term recovery potential of the asset.

03Production & Operations

Mafraq Energy manages field and well operations with a focus on safe, reliable and efficient production.

Continuous well and reservoir surveillance, well testing and production performance analysis provide the information required to optimize individual wells and overall field performance.

Production data are integrated with subsurface and reservoir models to identify optimization opportunities, support operating decisions and guide future development. As the field develops, close integration between subsurface, wells, facilities and operations ensures that production strategies evolve with reservoir performance and field requirements.

04Infrastructure & Facilities

Mafraq Energy develops and operates the infrastructure and facilities required to support the growth of Block 70.

Our activities encompass wellsite facilities, gathering and production systems, fluid handling, utilities and supporting field infrastructure, as well as facilities required for future enhanced oil recovery operations.

Infrastructure development is aligned with reservoir performance and field development requirements, allowing capacity to be expanded progressively as the asset grows. This integrated approach provides safe and reliable operations while maintaining the flexibility required for future development.

Integrated Operations. Long-Term Development.

From understanding the subsurface to producing and managing the field, Mafraq Energy maintains an integrated approach across the full upstream lifecycle.

Our focus is on developing Block 70 safely and efficiently, continuously improving field performance and building a strong foundation for the long-term growth of the asset.
