Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) has reached a final investment decision (FID) for the SARB Deep Gas development, a strategic offshore project within the Ghasha Concession aimed at expanding the UAE’s natural gas production capacity.

FID is the point at which a company formally approves a project to move ahead with full development, committing capital after completing technical, commercial, and regulatory evaluations.

The project is expected to supply approximately 200 million standard cubic feet of natural gas per day (mmscf/d) by 2030, which is sufficient to meet the daily energy requirements of over 300,000 homes.

Located 120 kilometers offshore Abu Dhabi, the development features a new platform equipped with four natural gas production wells. These wells will be linked to Das Island, where the natural gas will be processed through existing ADNOC facilities to ensure seamless operational integration.

SARB Deep Gas will utilize advanced engineering, artificial intelligence (AI), and digital technologies, allowing for remote operations from Arzanah Island. ADNOC stated that the development leverages existing infrastructure to improve operational efficiency and enhance safety standards.
