UAE's ADNOC Gas plc, announced yesterday the awarding of three enabling contracts worth $2.1 billion (approx AED8.00 bn) for an LNG pre-conditioning plant (LPP), compression facilities and transmission pipelines to supply feedstock to the Ruwais LNG Project, as reported by WAM (Emirates News Agency).
The LPP and compression facilities will be located within ADNOC Gas’ Habshan 5 plant. 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.
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 Company, while Petrofac Emirates LLC will develop the new compression facilities under a $335 million contract.
The three contracts will establish the key infrastructure needed to supply feedstock to the Ruwais LNG export facility. This investment is part of the $15 billion CAPEX plan through 2029, as outlined in ADNOC Gas’ recent strategy update.
