The gas production and testing capability of MV Al Nisr can reach 70 million standard cubic feet per day. The vessel has the ability to test single or multi-well developments and to allow full-scale production tests to be performed at remote offshore locations with the minimum of downtime. The MV Al Nisr is also equipped with high-pressure pumping equipment and related facilities that are capable of handling various well-servicing applications, such as chemical pumping and squeezing; acid mixing and pumping for well stimulation; well-killing operations; pressure testing; nitrogen lifting; and well unloading and pigging pipelines. The pumping and stimulation system has been configured to the latest international standards for automated mixing and pumping operations for a wide range of fluid volumes to efficiently enable various operations requirements.
