Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. (ADNOC) has awarded two front-end engineering and design contracts for ADNOC’s offshore sour gas project involving Hail, Ghasha, and Dalma fields in the Arab formation.
ADNOC let the Hail and Ghasha FEED contract to Bechtel (UK) and let the Dalma FEED contract to TechnipFMC (UAE). It is estimated that the sour gas project could meet 20% of UAE’s gas demand by the second half of the next decade.
Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE minister of state and ADNOC Group chief executive officer, said the contracts are part of a long-term strategy to develop UAE gas resources.
