ADNOC Gas has announced the awarding of three major contracts worth $2.1 billion (approximately AED 8 billion) to strengthen its liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply infrastructure. These contracts will establish key facilities to support the Ruwais LNG Project, which aims to double ADNOC Gas’ LNG production capacity.

The contracts include a $1.24 billion deal for a pre-conditioning plant awarded to a consortium of ENPPI and Petrojet, a $514 million contract for transmission pipelines given to China Petroleum Pipeline Engineering Company, and a $335 million agreement with Petrofac Emirates to develop new compression facilities.

The new facilities will be located at ADNOC Gas’ Habshan 5 plant, part of its massive Habshan Complex, which processes 6.1 billion standard cubic feet of gas daily. The transmission pipelines will connect this complex to the future Ruwais LNG export facility.

ADNOC Gas CEO Fatema Al Nuaimi, as quoted by WAM, emphasized the company’s focus on sustainable growth and innovation, saying these investments will expand LNG capacity while meeting global demand. The Ruwais LNG plant, once operational in 2028, will use clean grid electricity and advanced technologies like artificial intelligence, making it one of the lowest carbon-intensity LNG plants in the world.

The contracts are part of ADNOC Gas’ broader $15 billion capital expenditure plan through 2029 to support key infrastructure projects. The Ruwais LNG project, featuring two liquefaction trains with a capacity of 4.8 million tonnes per annum each, will play a critical role in ADNOC Gas’ strategy to meet international energy needs while maintaining environmental sustainability.
