Egypt’s largest oil firms secure $1.24b contract from UAE’s ADNOC

Egypt’s Engineering for the Petroleum and Process Industries (ENPPI) and Petrojet have secured the largest of three contracts worth a total of $2.1 billion awarded by ADNOC Gas to enhance infrastructure for the Ruwais LNG Project.

The $1.24 billion contract involves the construction of an LNG pre-conditioning plant (LPP) at ADNOC Gas’ Habshan 5 plant, part of one of the world’s largest integrated gas processing complexes.

The second contract worth a $514 million was awarded to China Petroleum Pipeline Engineering Company and the third contract worth $335 million was awarded for Petrofac Emirates LLC. These infrastructure developments are crucial to supplying feedstock to the Ruwais LNG facility.

The Habshan Complex, with a combined processing capacity of 6.1 billion standard cubic feet of gas per day, will be connected to the Ruwais LNG facility via the newly awarded transmission pipelines.

When fully operational in 2028, the Ruwais LNG plant will more than double ADNOC Gas’ LNG production capacity to over 15 million tons per annum (mtpa). Moreover, the facility will feature two liquefaction trains, each with a capacity of 4.8 mtpa, powered by clean grid electricity, setting a regional benchmark for sustainability.

With advanced CO₂ capture technology, artificial intelligence, and other digital innovations, the project aligns with ADNOC’s decarbonisation goals, aiming to be one of the world’s lowest carbon intensity LNG plants.

This investment is part of ADNOC Gas’ broader $15 billion CAPEX plan through 2029, strengthening its position as a key player in meeting global LNG demand with sustainable, cutting-edge solutions.
