2.1 billion to modernise ADNOC Gas' LNG supplies

ADNOC Gas, a world-class integrated gas processing company, today announced the award of three contracts worth a total of $2.1 billion to support the development of its flagship Ruwais liquefied natural gas (LNG) project. The contracts cover a pre-conditioning plant (PCP), compression facilities and transmission pipelines, which are essential for supplying the Ruwais LNG plant with raw materials.

The compression and production facilities associated with the project will be integrated into Habshan 5, part of one of the world's largest complexes, capable of processing up to 6.1 billion cubic feet of gas per day. New pipelines will link this complex to the Ruwais LNG plant, reinforcing the infrastructure needed to increase production.

- Pre-conditioning plant (LPP): The largest contract, worth $1.24 billion, was awarded to a consortium made up of Engineering for the Petroleum and Process Industries (ENPPI) and Petrojet.
- Transmission pipelines: China Petroleum Pipeline Engineering Company has been awarded a $514 million contract to develop pipelines.
- Compression facilities: Petrofac Emirates LLC has been awarded a $335 million contract to design and install new compression facilities.

Fatema Al Nuaimi, Managing Director of ADNOC Gas, said:

"These contracts reaffirm our commitment to sustainable growth and maximising shareholder value. We are investing in world-class infrastructure and innovative technologies to expand our LNG liquefaction capacity while strengthening our position as a major global player. These strategic investments enable us to respond effectively to the needs of our international customers while meeting our environmental objectives.

The Ruwais LNG project, developed on behalf of ADNOC, is a key part of the company's $15 billion investment plan up to 2029. Scheduled to come on stream in 2028, the project will double ADNOC Gas' LNG production capacity to more than 15 million tonnes per annum (mtpa).

The plant will feature two liquefaction trains, each capable of processing 4.8 mtpa, powered by a clean electricity grid, a unique innovation in the Middle East and North Africa region. The project is part of a strategy to reduce the carbon footprint, with operations relying on artificial intelligence and other advanced digital technologies to improve efficiency and minimise emissions.

With the completion of the Ruwais LNG plant, ADNOC Gas will position itself as a world leader in the LNG sector, offering a sustainable and efficient solution to meet the growing international demand for energy.
