ADNOC Gas awards contracts for Ruwais LNG project

ADNOC Gas plc has awarded three contracts worth US$2.1bn for an LNG pre-conditioning plant (LPP), compression facilities and transmission pipelines to supply feedstock to the Ruwais LNG Project

The LPP and compression facilities will be located within ADNOC Gas’ Habshan 5 plant, part of one of the world’s largest integrated gas processing complexes. The five plants of the Habshan Complex have a combined capacity to process 6.1bn standard cubic feet of gas per day. The newly awarded transmission pipelines will connect the Habshan Complex with the Ruwais LNG facility.

A contract valued at US$1.24bn for the LPP, was awarded to a consortium consisting of Engineering for the Petroleum and Process Industries (ENPPI) and Petrojet. A US$514mn contract for transmission pipelines was awarded to the China Petroleum Pipeline Engineering Company, while Petrofac Emirates LLC scooped a US$335mn contract to develop the new compression facilities. The third EPC contract awarded to Petrofac at the Habshan Complex, this includes the EPC of two gas compressor trains, associated utilities and power systems.

Fatema Al Nuaimi, Chief Executive Officer of ADNOC Gas, said, “These contract awards reaffirm ADNOC Gas’ commitment to delivering sustainable growth and maximising shareholder value. We are investing in world-class infrastructure and innovative technologies as we expand our capacity in LNG liquefaction and strengthen our position as a global player.”

ADNOC Gas is developing the Ruwais LNG project on behalf of ADNOC. When fully operational, the Ruwais LNG plant will more than double ADNOC Gas’ current LNG production capacity to more than 15 million tonnes per annum (mtpa). The export facility will feature two liquefaction trains, each with a processing capacity of 4.8 mtpa, powered by clean grid electricity.

Upon completion, Ruwais LNG will be one of the lowest-carbon intensity LNG plants in the world, utilising artificial intelligence and other advanced digital technologies to enhance safety, minimise emissions and drive efficiency. The project is set to advance ADNOC’s LNG leadership ambitions, with more than 7MTPA of its production capacity already committed to international customers under long-term agreements, as well as furthering its energy transition objectives.
