ADNOC has issued a Limited Notice to Proceed (LNTP) for early engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) activities to a joint venture for the low carbon liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in Al Ruwais Industrial City, Abu Dhabi.

This venture is led by Technip Energies and JGC Corporation and National Petroleum Construction Company PJSC. The final investment decision for the project is expected later this year,

Once completed, the project will consist of two 4.8 million metric tons per year (mtpa) LNG liquefaction trains with a total capacity of 9.6 mtpa. This will more than double ADNOC’s LNG production capacity, from 6 mtpa to around 15 mtpa.

“The Ruwais LNG project will reinforce ADNOC’s position as a reliable global natural gas supplier, underscoring its pivotal role and contribution to global energy security. The project is set to significantly contribute to the Al Dhafra region’s economy by boosting the local industrial ecosystem, attracting further investments, and creating a vital energy trade gateway in Al Ruwais Industrial City,” said Fatema Al Nuaimi, Executive Vice President of Downstream Business Management at ADNOC.
