Adnoc Gas, a leading integrated gas processing company, has awarded three enabling contracts worth $2.1 billion for an LNG pre-conditioning plant as well as compression facilities and transmission pipelines to supply feedstock to the Ruwais LNG Project.

The LNG pre-conditioning plant (LPP) and compression facilities will be located within Adnoc Gas’ Habshan 5 facility, 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 6.1 billion standard cu ft of gas per day. The newly awarded transmission pipelines will connect the Habshan Complex with the Ruwais LNG facility.

The largest contract, valued at $1.24 billion for the LPP, was awarded to a consortium comprising ENPPI (Engineering for the Petroleum and Process Industries) and Petrojet.  This was followed by a $514 million contract for transmission pipelines which was awarded to the China Petroleum Pipeline Engineering Company, while Petrofac Emirates was awarded the contract to develop the new compression facilities under a $335 million contract.

Announcing the contract award, Adnoc Gas CEO Fatema Al Nuaimi 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.”

“The awards also underline our commitment to making strategic and targeted investments that enable the delivery of our most significant projects, allowing us to continue meeting our customers’ demands internationally,” she stated.

Adnoc Gas is developing the Ruwais LNG project on behalf of its largest shareholder, Adnoc. Upon completion, Ruwais LNG will be one of the lowest-carbon intensity LNG plants in the world, leveraging artificial intelligence and other advanced digital technologies to enhance safety, and minimise emissions.
