ADNOC Gas awards $2.1 billion in Ruwais LNG contracts

ABU DHABI, January 9, 2025 – ADNOC Gas has awarded three contracts worth a combined USD 2.1 billion for infrastructure related to its Ruwais LNG project in Abu Dhabi, the company said on Thursday.

Egyptian EPC player Enppi won a USD 1.24-billion contract for an LNG preconditioning plant at the Habshan 5 gas plant.

At the same time, China Petroleum Pipeline Engineering won a USD 514-million contract for transmission pipelines and Petrofac Emirates won a USD 335-million contract to develop compression facilities.

In November, ADNOC broke ground on the lower-carbon Ruwais LNG project, which is located in Al Ruwais Industrial City in Abu Dhabi’s Al Dhafra region.

Ruwais LNG consists of two natural gas liquefaction trains with a nameplate production capacity of 4.8 million tonnes per year (tpy) each. Once operational, the facility will more than double ADNOC’s LNG production capacity, bringing it to more than 15 million tpy. Starting in 2028, it will be majority-owned by ADNOC Gas.

ADNOC reached a FID on the project in June 2024, concurrently awarding USD 5.5 billion in EPC contracts to a joint venture of Technip Energies, JCG Corporation and NMDC Energy.

In comments on Thursday’s contract awards, 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.”
