Deep Earth Hole Drilling and Earth Electrode Installation (Qushwira, Mender & Shah)
Project Facts
Client: ADNOC Onshore
Partner / Main Contractor: Al Nasr Contracting Co.
Locations: Qushwira, Mender, and Shah field
Scope: Deep earth hole drilling and installation of earth electrode; PVC pipe
Project Overview
Deep earthing scopes require precision and repeatability across multiple locations. The objective is to deliver a consistent installation outcome that supports safe electrical grounding, while maintaining interface discipline in active field environments. This call-out scope covered multiple ADNOC field locations, demanding standardization in execution and documentation.
What “Deep Earth” Delivery Requires
Correct execution sequence (drilling → installation → completion)
Material integrity and placement (electrode and PVC arrangement)
Traceable records that allow review and acceptance
“The project included deep earth hole drilling and installation of earth electrodes, including PVC pipe installation. Given the multi-location nature of the work, the delivery emphasis was on consistent installation controls and repeatable outputs.”
Field Delivery Method (Multi-Site Consistency)
Clear mobilisation planning for each location
Consistent drilling controls and supervision
Defined installation sequencing for electrode and PVC
Documentation capture aligned to the call-out acceptance pathway
HSE and Compliance
Deep drilling for earthing is a high-control activity. Execution requires disciplined site safety measures (work zones, supervision, and safe handling of materials) to protect personnel and maintain continuity.
Closeout is structured to support stakeholder review, with consistent records across sites to reduce clarification cycles and accelerate acceptance.
