MEOG: ADNOC awards early LNG work

ADNOC has awarded a contract for early engineering works on its planned Ruwais LNG project to a consortium of services firms.

In a press release this week, ADNOC said it had issued a limited notice to proceed (LNTP) for early engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) activities to a joint venture, led by Technip Energies, with JGC and National Petroleum Construction Co. (NPCC) for the facility in Al Ruwais Industrial City, Abu Dhabi.

Final investment decision (FID) on the project is anticipated this year, and ADNOC said Ruwais LNG will be the first LNG export facility in the Middle East and North Africa region to run on clean power, making it one of the lowest-carbon intensity LNG plants in the world.

In a company press release, Fatema Al Nuaimi, ADNOC’s EVP of downstream business management, said: “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.”
