Abu Dhabi

ABU DHABI, January 20, 2023 – National Petroleum Construction Company and partners have signed an EPC contract with ADNOC for the offshore segment of the Hail and Ghasha field development project in the UAE, the Emirati engineering company announced on Thursday.

The pre-construction service agreement covers detailed engineering, procurement and an open book estimate for the later project’s scope that will be considered during ADNOC’s FID.

The work will be done alongside joint venture partners Saipem and China Petroleum Engineering and Construction Corporation.
