Technip-led joint venture wins Ruwais LNG project contract

A joint venture led by Technip Energies with JGC and NMDC Energy has been awarded a major contract worth around US$5.5bn by ADNOC for the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of the Ruwais LNG project

The project will consist of two natural gas liquefaction trains with a total LNG production capacity of 9.6 Mtpa), more than doubling ADNOC’s LNG production capacity to around 15 MMtpa,as the company builds its international LNG portfolio.

The plant will use electric-driven motors instead of conventional gas turbines and will be powered by clean energy. It is set to be the first LNG export facility in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region to run on clean power, making it one of the lowest-carbon intensity LNG plants in the world.

Arnaud Pieton, CEO of Technip Energies, commented, “We are honoured to have been awarded by ADNOC the Ruwais LNG project, a pioneering initiative in the LNG sector. By powering electrified LNG trains with nuclear energy, this project sets a new standard for energy security and sustainability. By leveraging our low-carbon and electrified LNG leadership we will support ADNOC’s position as a reliable global natural gas supplier and commitment to decarbonisation.”

His Highness Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and chairman of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council, endorsed the final investment decision (FID) for the Ruwais LNG project and the award of the EPC contract at a meeting of the Executive Committee of the ADNOC Board of Directors.
