In ADNOC Offshore’s Lower Zakum project, awarded to Técnicas Reunidas as one of the three main EPC packages within the Lower Zakum Long-Term Development Plan (LTDP-1), Wiloc is providing a comprehensive digitalisation solution designed to strengthen safety, compliance and operational efficiency across site and yard areas. The project, valued at €3.265 billion and expected to run for five years, has the strategic objective of increasing oil and gas production capacity by 2027. It includes works on Al-Omairah Island, within the offshore Zakum field, as well as the construction of upstream facilities and offshore activities in critical process facilities.
The proposal combines real-time personnel monitoring, digital permit-to-work control, digital passport, weather condition monitoring, personnel evacuation in emergency situations and operational analytics on a unified platform designed to proactively manage highly complex environments with simultaneous operations. The solution is conceived for a combined workforce of more than 4,500 people across site and yard, and integrates RTLS, DPTW and Digital Passport into a single digital ecosystem to improve visibility, coordination and operational traceability.
The solution architecture is based on personal BLE devices, fixed and mobile hubs, LoRaWAN gateways and weather stations, with a deployment scope of 2,200 devices for the site, 3,000 for the yard, 100 GPS BLE-LoRaWAN hubs on site, 50 in the yard and one weather station in each environment. On this basis, the system provides continuous visibility of the presence, location and status of the workforce, while also integrating automatic competency validations, SOS alerts, geofencing, headcount and specific capabilities to support personnel evacuation in critical situations.
With this rollout, Wiloc reinforces Técnicas Reunidas’ digitalisation strategy in large-scale industrial and energy environments, providing a unified view of workforce, permits, alerts and infrastructure to improve decision-making, traceability and operational control in one of ADNOC’s most relevant offshore developments.
