ADNOC, in partnership with Occidental Petroleum, recently expressed intentions to expand its Al Hosn sour gas project facility
The expansion is expected to increase sour gas processing by 50 per cent of existing capacity.
The plant could become operational within the life span of ADNOC’s new five-year business plan – part of the company’s ‘2030 Strategy’ - which was recently approved by Abu Dhabi’s Supreme Petroleum Council.
UAE minister of state and ADNOC Group CEO Dr Sultan Al Jaber said, “A key element of our 2030 strategy is to ensure we produce sufficient gas to meet our steadily increasing requirement for gas, and match rising demand from our international customers. Sour gas will play an important role in ensuring we deliver on those commitments.
“For the first time, ADNOC has an integrated Gas Master Plan which links every part of our gas value chain. This will ensure greater efficiency and performance and enable us to maximise the value of our gas assets and pursue, smart, targeted investments to achieve our strategic objectives.”
Occidental Petroleum President and CEO Vicki Hollub said, “We look forward to working on the next phase to optimise the plant’s expansion. Demand for domestic gas is rising and processing additional sour gas from new and existing reservoirs makes sound business sense.”
