Excel ASTRA Engineering & Construction has announced an AED1 billion agreement with Al Dhafra Petroleum for produced-water treatment facilities at the Haliba oil field in Abu Dhabi. The contractor disclosed the agreement on 6 November during ADIPEC.
The design, build and operate model extends ASTRA’s responsibility beyond construction into running the facilities. Its project register identifies the work as Train 1, serving Haliba’s existing central gathering facility, and lists a 2026–2033 period including maintenance.
ASTRA says the development will support Al Dhafra Petroleum’s target of 50,000 barrels a day. That is a production objective, not confirmation that Haliba has reached the rate. The announcement does not establish a commissioning date or disclose the water-treatment capacity.
The contract gives the supply chain a defined engineering, construction and operating scope. The recent public announcement is the news development; it should not be read as confirmation that all contractual commitments were first made this month.
