ADNOC Gas plc and its subsidiaries announced the awarding of three enabling contracts worth $2.1 billion for an LNG pre-conditioning plant (LPP), compression facilities and transmission pipelines to supply feedstock to the Ruwais LNG Project.
The largest contract, valued at $1.24 billion for the LPP, was awarded to a consortium consisting of Engineering for the Petroleum and Process Industries (ENPPI) and PETROJET.
A $514 million contract for transmission pipelines was awarded to the China Petroleum Pipeline Engineering Corporation (CPPE-AD)
Petrofac Emirates LLC will develop the new compression facilities under a $335 million contract.
The LPP and compression facilities will be located within ADNOC Gas’ Habshan 5 plant, part of one of the world’s largest integrated gas processing complexes. The five plants of the Habshan Complex have a combined capacity to process 6.1 billion standard cubic feet of gas per day. The newly awarded transmission pipelines will connect the Habshan Complex with the Ruwais LNG facility.
ADNOC Gas is developing the Ruwais LNG project on behalf of its largest shareholder, ADNOC Group. The capital expenditure (CAPEX) for the LPP, compression facilities and transmission pipelines, does not form part of the costs previously outlined by ADNOC Gas for its intended acquisition of ADNOC’s majority stake in the Ruwais LNG project once the plant becomes operational in 2028.
Fatema Al Nuaimi, Chief Executive Officer of ADNOC Gas, said: “These contract awards reaffirm ADNOC Gas’ commitment to delivering sustainable growth and maximizing 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.
