ADNOC Gas plc and its subsidiaries, a leading global integrated gas processing company, have announced the award of three significant contracts worth $2.1 billion to enhance the infrastructure supporting the Ruwais LNG Project. These contracts will fund the construction of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) pre-conditioning plant (LPP), compression facilities, and transmission pipelines designed to supply essential feedstock to the project.

The LPP and compression facilities will be housed within ADNOC Gas' Habshan 5 plant, part of one of the largest integrated gas processing complexes worldwide. The Habshan Complex, consisting of five plants, has a combined processing capacity of 6.1 billion standard cubic feet of gas per day. The newly awarded transmission pipelines will link the complex to the Ruwais LNG facility, ensuring a steady feedstock supply.

The largest of the three contracts, valued at $1.24 billion, was awarded to a consortium of Engineering for the Petroleum and Process Industries (ENPPI) and Petrojet for the development of the LPP. China Petroleum Pipeline Engineering Company has secured a $514 million contract for constructing transmission pipelines, while Petrofac Emirates LLC will develop the compression facilities under a $335 million contract.

Fatema Al Nuaimi, CEO of ADNOC Gas, emphasized the strategic importance of these contracts, stating that they reinforce ADNOC Gas’ commitment to sustainable growth and maximizing shareholder value. She highlighted the company’s focus on investing in cutting-edge infrastructure and innovative technologies as it expands LNG liquefaction capacity and strengthens its global position. Al Nuaimi also reiterated ADNOC Gas’ dedication to making targeted investments that enable the successful delivery of major projects to meet global customer demands.

The Ruwais LNG project, developed by ADNOC Gas on behalf of its majority shareholder, ADNOC, is expected to increase ADNOC Gas’ LNG production capacity to more than 15 million tonnes per annum (mtpa), more than double its current output. The $2.1 billion infrastructure investments are part of ADNOC Gas’ broader $15 billion capital expenditure (CAPEX) plan, which spans through 2029. Notably, the Ruwais LNG export facility will feature two liquefaction trains, each capable of processing 4.8 mtpa of LNG, and will be powered by clean grid electricity, a first for the Middle East and North Africa region.

Upon completion, Ruwais LNG will be one of the lowest-carbon intensity LNG plants globally, utilizing advanced digital technologies, including artificial intelligence, to enhance safety, reduce emissions, and improve operational efficiency. This project is part of ADNOC Gas’ long-term strategy to lead the industry in environmentally sustainable LNG production while meeting the growing global demand for energy.
