Adnoc Gas inks USD 2.1 bn contracts to expand Al Ruwais LNG infrastructure: Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc) Gas awarded three contracts worth USD 2.1 bn for supply infrastructure development for its liquified natural gas (LNG) project in Al Ruwais, according to an Adnoc statement (pdf) released last week. The facilities will be located within Adnoc Gas’ Habshan 5 plant, which processes 6.1 bn standard cubic ft of gas per day.
Strategizing exports: The three contracts will develop key infrastructure projects to supply feedstock to the Ruwais LNG export facility — which will include two liquefaction trains with a processing capacity of 4.8 mpta each. The Ruwais LNG plant will more than double Adnoc Gas’ current LNG production capacity of more than 15 mn mtpa.
The breakdown:
- A consortium including Egypt’s Engineering for the Petroleum and Process Industries (ENPPI) and Petrojet secured the largest contract to develop a USD 1.24 bn LNG pre-conditioning plant (LPP).
- China Petroleum Pipeline Engineering Company will develop USD 514 mn transmission pipelines, connecting the Habshan Complex to the Ruwais LNG facility.
- Petrofac Emirates will develop compression facilities under a USD 335 mn contract.
ICYMI- These are not the first contracts awarded for Al Ruwais: In June , Adnoc handed out USD 5.5 bn in engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contracts to a JV between engineering companies NMDC Energy, Technip Energies and JGC Corporation, for its Ruwais LNG project.
About the facility: Adnoc broke ground on its LNG project in Al Ruwais Industrial City at Al Dhafra Region in November. The oil giant plans to start exporting from the Ruwais site in 2028, with a target of 4.8 mn tonnes per year. The project is expected to more than double Adnoc’s LNG production capacity in the UAE to 15 mn tonnes per year.
REMEMBER- Adnoc Gas is set to acquire a 60% stake in the project from its parent group Adnoc in 2H 2028 for an estimated USD 5 bn.
