National Petroleum Construction Company Co. (NPCC) and Tecnicas Reunidas S.A. have been awarded a US$3.6bn contract by ADNOC to expand its gas processing infrastructure in the UAE
The scope of the contract includes the commissioning of new gas processing facilities, which will improve supply to the Ruwais Industrial Complex. More than 70% of the award value will flow back into the UAE’s economy under ADNOC's In-Country Value (ICV) programme.
ADNOC’s Maximizing Ethane Recovery and Monetization (MERAM) project aims to increase ethane extraction by 35-40% from ADNOC Gas’s existing onshore facilities in the Habshan complex through the construction of new gas processing facilities, as well as to unlock further value from existing feedstock and deliver it to Ruwais via a dedicated 120 km natural gas liquids (NGL) pipeline.
Ahmed Mohamed Alebri, chief executive offficer of ADNOC Gas, said, "This capital project represents ADNOC Gas’ latest investment in its gas processing infrastructure and underscores our commitment to responsibly meeting our customers’ current and future energy demand for natural gas and its feedstock. The expansion of our gas processing infrastructure will also provide additional energy to the country’s growing industrial section, while stimulating economic growth and diversification through the significant ICV generated by the contract.”
