Petrofac, a leading international service provider to the energy industry, has been awarded an Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management Services (EPCM) contract by ADNOC Gas to expand gas production facilities on Das Island. The project is valued at $1.2 billion.

The contract includes providing procurement and construction services to build a new inlet facility, and two new gas dehydration and compression trains, each with a capacity of 420 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscf/d), and related infrastructure.

According to the contract, Petrofac will also upgrade existing facilities to increase the site’s capacity for collecting and transporting raw natural gas. “These upgrades will significantly increase gas processing capacity to meet rising customer demand,” Petrofac said.

On this occasion, Petrofac’s Group Chief Executive, Tareq Kawash, said, “We are delighted to have been entrusted by ADNOC Gas, one of our longest-standing customers, to undertake this contract in our home market of the UAE. We look forward to working together to safely and sustainably increase the gas processing capacity at Das Island.”

The Das Island facility is located 160km north-west of mainland UAE, and has been operational since 1977. It is the third longest LNG operation still in production globally. It has a liquefaction capacity of six million metric tons per annum (mmtpa), and is considered a key component of the UAE’s LNG export strategy.

With 40 years of experience, Petrofac is a leading company in designing and building world-class gas processing plants and clean fuels refineries, constructing offshore wind substations, designing hydrogen units, and upgrading existing infrastructure to meet global environmental standards.
